[Dynagroove] Promoters/promotion

[beckstar]

haha. well actually...this list will not allow any posts thru that conflict
with one of cade's events...which i grant.

i will not, out of respect...and also after being reprimanded...promote my
wednesday in any other wednesday club...just like i wont hand out one off
flyers at a saturday night weekly. it's just one the courtesy codes or
something...

i admire your (and many of the other people's who answered my question
privately) attitude. it's fresh and friendly and better, just not bitter...

who needs bitter when you're partying...unless it's a good beer and then i
say, kickass.

In response to the message from beckstar,
       At Gravy we let anyone, promote anything, for any night. I say bring
on the flyer's. It is part of the experience. Flyer's everywhere... on your
cars, in your pants, in the toilet, and even in your eye if your not
careful. I could care less if you promote a other Friday night at gravy.
People have been hitting us up with mad flyer's since the day we started
doing the night. The people who promote are usually the ones who love the
scene and love the music most. Soooo.... why would you tell them to not
spread that love and spread  music???  Do those people really think, that
people are only going to go to one venue, week after week, if they don't let
flyer's in there spot??? I think that, is insulting to the people who
support the music.
      Out of respect for the dynagroove crew, I did not include any info on
Gravy since it is... a competing night.

cheers,
Luke McGluke (pres. solidfunk)
