Sathi.. Great Idea...Good Start.. We all are exhausted with this hyper capitalist idea of making money by ANA from poor Nepali without good service. Look at the cost associated from individual?? Do we really need 5 ***** hotels and big cities to conduct these type of events??Keeping in mind that young generation had made ANA convention successfull, I have some suggestions for you: 1. Plan these events on some sort of Resort, where everyone can enjoy music. 2. Food festival would be good idea along with concert. Food is always big problem in ANA. 3. Try to combine with Nepali Film Festival as a filler, if possible. 4. Arrange some sort of gettogether for "RETURN PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEER" from Nepal(there are lots of American who had done research on Nepali Music). 5. Lets not concentrate to accomodate Nepalis from all state. 6-7 hrs driving distance will save air fare. 6. Try to make event on long weekends. So that no rush. Wish you good luck .... more to follow.....
