[Dynagroove] why cant we start building new memories??

[Request at Liquid Lounge]

This is right on.....All I can say, coming from a promoter
standpoint.....It's all about what everyone at the party brings to the
table..Everyone contributes to the vibe....
Don't' forget that...And if the parties aren't the same....Go out and do
something about it...
THROW YOUR OWN PARTY...Back in 95 when I thought the parties were
sometimes weak...We decided to throw our own party instead of
complaining about how bad the parties were...And I must say..I am pretty
proud of what we brought to the scene over an 8 year period..
The person putting on the party has to be excited to do it...It comes
from within...and then the people will follow with the right attitude...
If the promoter isn't excited...How can the attendee's be excited..
Think about it...
Don't complain..Take a risk...
Put some money down on a dj and throw yourself a party....It's not as
easy as it looks....

I have belonged to this list for a while now.  Although I rarely reply
to this sort of  thread, I can no longer hold my tongue.  Quite frankly,
I am tired of hearing everyone whine and complain that our scene is
dying.  I am saddened by those desperately trying to relive the parties
of the 1990's.  Therefore, I would like to contribute my interpretation
of what has happpened to the vibe, or lack there of, on L.A.'s
dancefloors.  As a veteran dancer and staple supporter of our beloved
HOUSE scene for many years now, I have witnessed countless transitions
in both the small and massive parties alike.  My observations have been
similiar to many of yours including the lowered numbers in attendence, a
lack of energy and enthusiasm, along with an increase in cover fees,
expectations, bad attitudes, and cliques.  
 
You can blame the lack of vibe on the promoter, venue, crowd, or even
the DJ all you want.  BUT...I will challenge YOU to take a look at what
YOU bring to a party's atmosphere when you go out.  I'm sorry people,
but, the vibe starts WITHIN YOU!!!  When you attend a party or a weekly
event, are you enjoying yourself, or are you too busy pointing out all
of the negative aspects.  When you are on the dancefloor, are you
bringing positive energy, or are you too busy making sure everyone knows
that you are the best dancer out there?   When listening to a DJ or live
act,  are you hearing their messages, or are you listening for
techinical faults?  Please be aware that the things  you focus on will
determine your thoughts and your thoughts will then determine your mood.
Your attitude will create the type of energy exchanged with those
sharing the dancefloor with you. Overall, it is the attitude of each
individual dancer which collectively creates the vibe.  When you go out,
you are
 contributing to the experiences of those around you.  Please be
conscious of the effects of your attitudes and actions!   Respect others
and their right to have a good time!  Leave your negative thoughts and
behaviors at home!
 
 
With nothing but love for my fellow house heads,
Carrie
