Oh the plusses you state are obvious and the biggest factor. My wallet just needs a little more convincing from my heart...

Well, I'm a firm believer in the theory that we make the things happen that we really want or care about. IF you got a sponsorship for $500 and ONLY had 12 months to save for it, you'd really only need to put away about $40 a month. This year, I'm relying on my tax return, since freelance work has dwindled. However you do it, it's worth it and for a great cause. !
Just commit and plan ahead.

Steven Konopa = SkiBumMSP (BTW, the "MSP" stands for Massanutten Ski Patrol).
As Dave already said, we put in our bid for next year. This reminds me that I need to get my money in to Glenn. Didn't help that I've burned through so much damn money over the past month or so (new truck, new BBQ, new patio furniture, new component rack for my outdoor sound system, etc, etc, etc). That's okay, as I do still have the cash - just need to send the damn check in.
But yeah, sponsorship is just so cool and there is nothing that make me feel more proud when the band I help sponsor practically destroyed the festival
What was really cool when the guitarist from Sabaton actually told me how honored they were for me to sponsor them. I replied back that the honor was mine and for getting to witness one of the most incredible performances that I've seen at ProgPower. Yes, all the other perks are indeed nice, and certainly enhances the experience of the show. Also, it was actually kinda cool to get to see some of the "behind the scene going-ons" that truly make this show tick. I am still in awe at how Glenn manages to pull this thing off year after year and have it end up running so smoothly. My hat is truly off to him.
Fortunately, Dave and I are blessed to be successful enough that sponsorship is a very small fraction of our overall budgets, but as was already pointed out, to save up the $500 minimum, you really only need to sock away around $40 or so each month. I am willing to bet your cable bill is probably more than that. If you could get somebody to go in with you, it will give you more "sponsorship power" with the combined funds (4 people going in and scrounging up $2,000 together is quite a nice sum to offer up to Glenn).
Thank you Glenn for giving us this opportunity. I am so looking forward to this and future shows, as long as I have the money and the health to continue.
