[Dynagroove] top 11 things I hate about house the scene

[Joshua Richard]

Okay...I'm new to this list as of 1 week ago. JuJu ha been bugging me to get
on here since i moved out to SoCal a year ago and i have resisted OH SO
HARD. I just couldn't resist any longer. I just wanted to say a couple
things.

1. I don't know Cade but God Fucking Damn mother fucker is a hilarious riot.
I can't wait till the Meet and Greet.

2. Those very few of you who do know me (Tropical folks and friends of the
Ju) THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me make LA/OC my house music home. I can;t
believe that i finally live somewhere where i can get my dance on 7 nights a
week and 80% of the time its cheep and has a DJ that i'd have paid top
dollar for in AZ. Gotta love that our 'superstar out of towners' are all
locals for you folks. Be thankful...if you've only ever known LA then you
have no idea what its like for the rest of the world

Anyway. I'm Josh. I dance, i dance, i dance and I'm a true blue house
soldier.

Peace
Ciao
and
Slainte
