[Dynagroove] The dyna-drama

[Cade]

OK all I am sure you knew it was coming.  But this is a bit ridiculous. 
I have no problems with people posting their reviews good or bad.  But 
when emails are sent back hinting of threats and promoters coming back and 
aggressively attacking at them it is a bit silly.  I encourage all list 
members to post their reviews good or bad.  Even dynagroove has gotten 
some bad reviews on here and I let them through.  As a promoter I took the 
views as something to consider.  Sometimes I just flat out ignored the 
complaint because it was to me something unimportant.  I had people 
complain that I did not have a good amount of lighting or I didn't have 
good DJs.  These I just ignored because I like my DJs and I have always 
put my money into sound and worried about lighting last.  Sometimes people 
complain about the bathroom situation or the water not being cold.  I 
easily fixed those.  Here is the deal - this is somewhat of an open forum 
and I encourage the communication on this list.  I like to hear about how a 
party sucked just like I like to hear how it was good.  But when others 
start posting/emailing the people giving bad reviews and hinting at 
threats then I think something needs to be done.  Although there is not 
much I can do and I will probably in return get threatened back I will do 
my best to remove you from this list if you are threatening people.

As for you promoters out there who can't take a bad review I suggest 
you get out of the business because I long ago learned that:

1)  Not everyone is going to like your party
2)  People will hate for no real reason
3)  Your tastes will always differ from others
4)  As a (somewhat) public figure you have scrutiny brought upon you

And emailing back and going "well what have you done for the scene" is a 
pretty dumb thing to say.  After all aren't these the people that are 
paying upwards of $30 a weekend to support you?  Isn't that doing 
something for the scene and better yet "your party?"  Even $20 a weekend 
for say 50 weeks a year is $1000 towards the house music cause.  Not to 
mention drinks and whatever else they may spend at an event.  In fact 
these people are our bosses in a way.  These people are "the scene." As a 
Promoter it is our job to please as many people as we can.  Instead of an 
attack which I have rarely seen on this list take it for what it is... an 
opinion.

As for house being dead...  Umnn... I see that the last FAMILY, DOC, and 
apparrently Village party did very well.   House was never as big as the 
"Rave" Scene so lets not confuse the two.  (god I probably just started a 
new thread)  House parties have always ranged from the 100 - 1200 person 
event.  I see no difference now.  We can talk Melodic but in the end 
didn't that just end up a rave?  How sweet it is?  Yes it was house.   but 
it too was a rave.  I have always considered house to have its core 600 
people.

Anyway lets all be mature now.  Lets have some "Free Thinkin" here and not 
confine ourselves to thinking it all negative.
