     Well... I must agree on the people AT TIMES seem to suck a fat one but 
OTHER TIMES the crowd is dope and the vibe is family oriented... the problem 
is people seem to have this fasination of comparing LA to every other city 
out there... and yes in the last 2-5 years LA hasn't had consistant bad ass 
shows but you can't say LA's house seems is cheesy... it's lazy at worst.

     LAs house seen at this time is probably reacting to more than just the 
music and dancing and love.  LA is suffering from Permits being denied 
promoters being busted along with the shows... I bet you out of all the 
Places you've mentioned LA has been the hardest hit even before the new 
R.A.VE. act and even before HOW SWEET IT IS-  I think this started brewing 
in 1996-1997 the pinnacle of our debacle was CIRCA when LAs underground was 
exposed to the nation as being to HORNY FOR ANYTHING THAT FUCKS YOU UP and 
obviously throwing fire extinguishers on cop cars didn't help either.  I can 
go on - GHB, K and N2O a.k.a. NOZ... Brought a different element to what we 
here in LA were used to.  This caused a separation of sorts.... TRANCE/ 
BOOTY HARD HOUSE/ JUNGLE/ HARDCORE AND TECHNO took a life of it's own and 
started to push HOUSE away-  as well as HOUSE pushing them away just as 
hard... this caused somewhat of an ELITIST State of mind for the HOUSE 
SCENE.  Back in 89 to about 92 there was a period were we just went out to 
an UNDERGROUND PARTY or RAVE --- NO LABELS just Electronic Music... NOW it's 
you better not wear something too loud or too RAVE like if you're expecting 
any respect from a 'HOUSE HEAD'  what does this then do?  It starts up 
'clicks' then IT STARTS TO BE HIGH SCHOOL ALL OVER AGAIN... thinking who's 
cooler that who... who's got 'Juice'... then this spirals out of control 
like a ripple in still water cause others to do the same.... I used to be 
able to go to a party alone and talk to as manny people as I wanted with out 
feeling 'threatened' by their stature in the outside world and how much 
Juice they had- now you feel like the only time you make eye contact with 
someone it's when they're handing you a flyer to their party...

blah blah blah...

my point is don't make the LA house scene out to be CHEESY... especially 
because they didn't give Farina love on his 10000 time playing in LA- not to 
mention it was on a Thursday not to mention I've seen him suck in San 
Francisco, San Diego and in Seattle ...

I've seen to many good crowds to say LA is down.
