[Dynagroove] It is what it is...

SO WELL PUT!

There are too many people who spend too much time critiquing a scene
rather than BEing the fucking scene.  People lose their fire and forget
why they started going out in the first place.  It's all about FUN and
making connections with people through music. It chaps my ass when I hear
people making fun of "ravers" at house-events.

When it comes down to it, I feel like I go "raving" pretty much every
weekend whether it be at a club, an intimate warehouse, or a massive
arena.  "House party" promoters and scenesters, don't get offended; eat a
piece of candy.  Life gets sweeter.

your faithful servant in plur,

A-ron
