[Dynagroove] House is a Feeling!

[~Sara]

I didn't want to post another 'house is a damn feeling' email but after what 
was said in this email, I had to clarify at least my position.  What was said 
in this email is totally asinine.

"I understand complaining about $30 at the door instead of $25 but the music 
being wack or not up to par is rediculious (sic)."


Am I understanding this correctly?  We are not allowed to complain about the 
music if it is not what we expect from Mark Farina?  What the hell are we 
living in Nazi Germany?  No one said anything about DJ requests OR implied that 
any of us could do better BUT WE ARE NOT MARK FARINA CHARGING A SHITLOAD TO 
PERFORM.  Why is this such a topic of debate?  It is pretty clear.

Brett, this is not a personal attack on you, I don't know you from Adam and you 
are entitled to your opinion.  Personally I think the points you are trying to 
make are not valid.  I did apreciate the party for what it was, but I didn't 
pay $30- to kick it, personally I went for the music.  Oh right we're not 
allowed to comment on that, my bad.

Enough,

Sara

~*~ My feelings exactly...Eveyone in the house scene just loves to complain
~*~ about everything...I understand complaining about $30 at the door instead
~*~ of
~*~ $25 but the music being wack or not up to par is rediculious..Do all
~*~ these
~*~ people think they can do better? The dj does what he is feeling that
~*~ night
~*~ and these comments are exactly why djs sometime dont care to come to
~*~ L.A.....Ie Derrick Carter...and a million others.....Cant everyone enjoy
~*~ the
~*~ party for what it is.....A PARTY...Not a dj request night...........my 2
~*~ cents
