[Dynagroove] Focus is looking for a GOOD LA PROMOTER

[Ben Annand]

Yes, believe it or not there are people who actually still make a living 
passing out flyers - they're the ones who are passing out 4 or 5 different 
ones at the same time.  Not really my style as that doesn't create a unique 
crowd for an event but anyway it does happen in the club scene in LA.

Regardless of that, Josh asked if there were promoters in LA interested in 
getting paid to flyer for his night, he didn't ask people to critique has 
strategy or Orange County generally.  So we don't really need to hear that 
on this list.  Personally I think dogging on OC on email lists is a bit 
stale and I can imagine how tired people who live there are of hearing it.  
Probably about as tired as I am of going to San Francisco and hearing people 
up there tell me there are no good parties going on in LA.  Just to put 
things into perspective a bit...

PS See you at Our House on Thursday :) :) :)

PPS Our House is in Costa Mesa, that's in Orange County.

PPPS Long Beach is the southernmost coastal city in LA County, Seal Beach is 
the northermost coastal city in Orange County

PPPPS City, State, County, and National borders are imaginary lines drawn by 
some silly animals called humans and are considered arbitrary and irrelevant 
by the rest of the snimal kingdom...
