[Dynagroove] House is a Feeling!

[gravity electric]

throw a party with a ton of hype about being the biggest and best house event of the year and have it turn out to be completely vibeless...

and the music half assed and mediocre barely even conjuring up a booty shake...

then charge someone thirty bucks for it...

and tell me how much cheese you need for your whine.

it's a given fact that the promoter's and all involved with this event have plenty of friends in the scene that may or may not feel comfortable enough with accurately assessing the real situation...

but the truth is, this event was lacking and it wasn't just a run of the mill five dollar party...

let people give their views so the next one wont have the blowfactor this one did.

i know the promoters of this event really care what people think and they worked damn hard on it...i'm sure even if these comments might sting a little or a lot after putting your energy into a night that big, but if they want to do a second or a third (or a third or a fourth?) anniversary of 'house is a feelin'

they want people to come back for another try and they will adjust the /suck/ to be far less than the /hell yeah that party was amazing/....

and did anyone stop to think that maybe mark farina didnt play up to the crowd was because it was so dang HUGE and semi responsive? you know that the true deep comes out when it isn't going to be wasted on a bunch of newbies that are just walking around lookin to score...

  Seriously, I don't think I can buy enough CHEEZE to go with all the WHINES about this. 

  Shit happens, not every party will rock nor will a certain dj rock all the time, they are human after all.  

  Now that I think about it, I think Costco might have enough cheeze for all the whines.

    I was not too thrilled about the location to begin with. Any big venue will
    never truly have the house vibe that we are all looking for. The night
    started pretty bad I thought. Definitely way too many people walking around.

    As for the music, I didn't think anyone was really that great that night.
    But Mark Farina did spin better than I thought he would. I was shocked at
    the fact that he didn't play downtempo jazz all nite (its a good thing). I
    particularly liked his pharcyde remix and the 20's swing track (yes,
    sometimes remixes are not that bad). Noticed that a lot of dj's are playing
    sounds-great-if-you-are-lounging music these days. I personally go to get
    my groove on and I can't do that with the lounge sound.

    Overall, it was okay but not worth what they were charging. But we all knew
    that it wasn't going to be a get-down-n-shake-your-ass-all-nite kinda thing.
    I luckily got my ass over to wax and got the presale for a little less but I
    would think if you are going to charge $30, it better be damn good or give
    it back some other way (like the sublevel party - besides the good music,
    they also gave out free drinks and redbull).

    Besides the venue and the music, I think the worse part about the whole
    thing is that they did advertise it as $25 at the door and not $30. I
    honestly HATE that. I know its a business but shouldn't there be a level of
    honestly still? This goes hand in hand with the announcement on the mic at
    4 that it is over and everyone needs to get the hell out.

    I was at King King a couple weekends ago and they did the same thing (charge
    $10 instead of $5 before 11pm). I have no problem paying at all. But you
    can't say one thing to get the people there and say something else later
    once we arrive. Just don't advertise it if you can't back it up. That's
    just not cool!

    I think even if the music or the venue isn't that great, its usually what
    you and the crowd make of it. But for me, what makes the biggest difference
    at the end of the nite is what the promoters' intentions were to begin with
    and their attitude.
