Project 30-90 FESTIVAL LOCATION REVEALED

You want to know where Project 30 90 is taking place? We've been holding out on you, but no more.

Project 30-90 will be held just up river from the Morial Convention Center in the Lower Garden District of New Orleans - the huge grassy field next to the old TwiRopa. Click here for map

Using this site meshes perfectly with our mission to make music festivals green. What could be better than taking a giant unused piece of land and making it into a beautiful festival ground?

Stay tuned for the band line up which will be announced on April 22nd, Earth Day!!

Some recent happenings here at project30-90 that have us a bit
excited.

First off, this week GNOInc joined project30-90 as an official partner.
We'll be working on some things in the future and we welcome the help of
this awesome economic development organization (they say they really wish
they were a band, so maybe they'll do a set at 30-90). Go to
www.gnoinc.org for more details on who they are and what they do.

Next, we are excited to announce that we'll be participating in IdeaCorps
2009. From March 21-28, 2009, The Idea Village will host 50 students from
the nation’s leading MBA schools who will join forces with cutting edge
professionals to solve critical challenges facing six New Orleans
entrepreneurs. This high impact service program redefines New Orleans as a
laboratory of innovation and entrepreneurship by connecting students and
professionals to entrepreneurs in our community. We are thrilled to be one
of the local entrepreneurs involved, along with NakedPizza and FeelGoodz.
Check out http://www.ideavillage.org/ideacorps/IDEAcorpsOverview.php for
more info. This is going to be a great program.

Tonight, we'll be at Republic for the Ethical Clothing Fashion Show, with

Welcome to PROJECT 30-90

noreply@blogger.com (PROJECT 30-90) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 18:31:00 +0000

So, you saw an ad or got an email, but now you’re wondering what’s this project all about? And what does 30-90 stand for anyway? Allow us to explain.

Project 30-90 is a music festival that’s about way more than the music. Its about taking the newest technology many other industries are using and applying it to music festivals. Using cutting edge technology from the energy industry, we are committed to producing the first ever festival in New Orleans that is run on solar and wind power. We’ll be looking at all forms of alternative power to create a sustainable festival experience. With an understanding that every thing we do has an effect on our environment, we’ll be conscious of all our actions and concentrate on energy usage, waste management and habitat restoration. Stay with us as we continue to announce more aspects of the project – it’s a choice you can easily make that will have positive effects on you and your community.

Oh yeah, just what is 30-90? Well, that’s the latitude and longitude of our home, New Orleans, Louisiana. Two lines intersecting on the globe at a magical place. For this project, it’s the intersection of sound and sustainability.
