I'm glad you brought this back up Dana because I've been thinking the same exact thing.
I actually e-mailed Brandon right after the BARS about reviving the "A Great Day In The Bay" idea, but didn't hear back from him yet. I know he's a busy man so I just shot him another e-mail this morning in case my last one got lost in the shuffle. Brandon is definitely one of the people who could get something of this magnitude organized and I'm sure countless people in the Bay Area industry are willing to assist and do whatever they can. I know you are.
We've got some momentum going in the Bay right now and it would be a nice move to show some unity and power by getting an event like this done.
Atlanta just did their own version as well:
Here's the original "Great Day In Harlem" as well:
For some reason, the "Great Day In Hip-Hop" pic from XXL is pretty much nonexistent online, but it was a beautiful thing and if I remember correctly it was shot in front of the same building as the picture above.
