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

[Chris G]

Word Carrie!

Cereal, gimme a fuckin' break already.

I don't post often either, but had to throw in my two 8-balls, just like the
rest of you do about "this party", "that party", "this set", "that set", "the
way it was, or used to be " my cover charge", "my stolen cocktail",
"the bitch who bumped into me on the dancefloor", "what the security guard
said to my boyfriend/girlfriend", " the climate, the capacity," etc. Blah,
blah, blah!

Where's my pillow?

The micro commentary is sometimes just trifling and takes away from what's
great about all of this, which is SHARING:  as in networking with friends,
meeting new people, getting info. on parties and events, talking about our
experiences, sharing our interest, etc.

O.K., I want to be all kind and loving and what-not, but I'm fuckin' tired, so
what I really want to say is GET THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR CIRCLE FOR A SECOND.
It's not all about "this" weekend in L.A., puhlease!

O.K., well maybe it is about this weekend just a little bit actually...Free
Thinking w/ BodyRock (Alayna's Birthday), AND Tropical (LABA is also have a
party for the Capricorns tomorrow night!)???? Sigh, fuckin' love it.

LOL.  It's going to be a great time out this weekend!

HAHAHA!  Hope everyone shakes their makers right!

Just spare us the bitching, cuz I really don't think we give a shit.  Tell us
what was GOOD, and put the BAD to bed, where it belongs.

Sheeze...

  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
