[Dynagroove] Review of Miguel Migs in Orange County

[Cade]

OK josh,

Not to tear you up on the board infront of everyone.  But here are some 
points I have and other promoters should pay attention.

> As far as the bar is concerned the Venue had no idea as many people
> would show up as they did and they just weren't prepared. For our July

when booking miguel miggs, mark farina, and (sometimes) derrick Carter you 
can pretty much assume you will get atleast 400+ people.  As a promoter it 
is up to you to tell the venue what to expect.  And when they complain 
about staffing costs yuou complain right back and bitch and moan untill 
you have been staffed appropriately.  What I usually do is ask the venue 
to have atleast 1 or 2 bartenders on call/reserve.

> We took a chance, which is more than a lot of promoters do. We found a

> awesome work. We tried to prepare the venue as best as possible with a

> We tried to do something unique and different. We didn't just go to the

> something different and new. Give people a new place to explore and

You have not done anything different then what an average "underground" 
promoter does not do EVERYTIME they throw a party.  As you state that you 
took a big risk.. some of us think a legal venue is hardly a risk.  Try 
arriving at a warehouse venue w/ no bar, electricit, chairs, or 
airconditioning and makeing it work. lol.  You have to be prepared for 
everything.  I did a party recently and my front door/glate was bolted 
shut.. lol  YOu gotta cover your bases..

trust me the fact that you did a legal venue is a LOT easier then a 
warehouse/studio party..

No one doubts your dedication or hard work.  I am positive you learned 
from your mistakes..  But have others?

There is a saying that "a wise man learns from his mistakes" but I like to 
say "A brilliant man learns from the wise man's mistakes."

There are many wise men in the scene are their any brilliant ones?

To bad about the event josh..  Tell those fuckers at the venue to get more 
staff and give you a bigger cut of the bar...  those greedy cocksuckers.. 
now is the time to re-negotiate! lol

Josh is a hard working promoter.  He has done a lot for OC.  I would hit 
more of his events if posible but my old ass loves his sleep now.  OC ios 
to far for a weekday lol..

Toodle-loo
