wow this is a change for the norm of this list, i am happy   .It is full of 
nonsense 98 percent of the time. Jonra has raised some good points ,thanks 
bro .Stating ones opinion is wonderful and very American thing to do . so 
here it goes.
This scene is mostly cliques,
half the people are house cows ,who just follow what is cool or where the in 
place is to be, or they know they can get their drugs from joe shmoe at such 
and such party . I have been playing out of town and for different types of 
parties more often  lately than here in town, in our scene .Mostly because 
the money is good ,but also because most of those people enjoy something 
different,and i enjoy that .something i cant say for our house scene ,it 
seems they like the same shit over and over till someone tells them it is no 
longer hip.then they quickly move to the next thing like cattle .sorry that 
is my obsevation ,if it bothers you ,your probably one of those people and 
you should check yourself.
Support your local djs and they will come through for you ,let them know 
they can get crazy and try something different or else they will fear change 
and the rest of the world will pass LA by and not even blink.We will be 
pigeon holed into being stale boring top 10 house cows wallowing in our own 
shit.(it smells funny in here!)
This stale feeling ,it is not the promoters, it is not the local jocks fault 
,(it does have to do with certain record stores,where most Djs shop, being 
very narrow in the selection of music they sell,saving the best shit for 
themselves and the djs associated with those stores.Ive worked at record 
stores ,that is how they do shit ! ) it is the crowds and what they want(or 
feel comfy with) ,what they will show up for what they will pay for here in 
LA .I have worked for the past 11 years as a dj all over the country and 
abroad and never in my life have i seen a scene as snooty and bitchy as this 
one ,not even in New York!,on the other hand LA has a real sense of 
community and dedication. Even if we do bicker alot WE are LA, as ive said 
before, not one dj or crew not one party but all of us good and bad 
.everyone should try a crew and party that they have never tried before see 
what is out there you may find something new or realize that the parties you 
normally pick really are the best for you, at least you can form an opinion 
that way and have something to back it up instead of just shit 
talking.Another reason i think things are so cut throat is because a lot of 
people are trying to make a living at this, and guess what, very few can do 
it,people lose money all the time,more than you might think ,that is what 
makes it so intense .my intention here is not to be down on LA, i love it 
here, i have fun at parties here.I have respect for a lot of the locals 
,they are way talented , although some should go back home and 
practice.alot.those names will stay in my head.
we just need to understand that we are a family, and rarely do freinds and 
family reside in the same house.we will all have different opinions and that 
is what makes the world go round.I think promoters need to here what the 
opinions are from the party goers . It helps to throw a better party next 
time .
just my opinion
hope you all had a great holiday season
its a new year and i hope we can treat it that way,new, lets show the planet 
we have the best house scene on the map.
hope im making sense here .sorry for any mispellings ,grammatical errors or 
type os.
Stay true to what you love and the world will come to you.
