[Dynagroove] club survey

[max julian]

I think that the lack of support for events comes from
the lack of successful massive events.  Current
electronic music afficianados aren't as into the scene
as they once were and want to see God doing a 2X4 with
Michael Jordan before they will come out.  To get
these  people to come out again, promoters are
throwing dirt cheap and free events.  The massive
events, although I know all yall "true heads" hate
them, bring the newbies into the scene.  This is
because they promote to a wider rang of people to pull
their numbers (i.e. colleges, malls, commercial clubs,
etc.) I am sure that, for a good portion of us, a
large party was our first one.  In order to keep
things going, we need to cycle in new partiers, kinda
like the tobacco industry I guess.  and the only way
to do this is to either have more massive events or
have each promoter spend way more money on
fliers/promotion so that they can promote at the local
barnyard fair and such.  Just my two cents as someone
who used to have to handle marketing for some of those
ridiculously large events.
