Rousseau, here's an example of something that started out DIY but turned into something big.
Poirier (a big deal in MTL) held a guerrilla St. Jean event under the Van Horne underpass. Strictly amateur stuff - word of mouth, generator to run sound, clean up empties to realise some profit, etc. The police left them alone. By the 3rd year, there were thousands of people showing up and, due to the proximity to St. Laurent, train tracks et al, the city gave them an ultimatum: turn this legit (permits, security) or shut it down. Understandable, but sad. It simply became too big.
Poirier chose to shut it down.
But it just goes to show you that it just takes one guy and a turntable (or guitar or whatever) who may seem pathetic at first glance, to create something wonderful, if given the chance.
