[Dynagroove] Off Topic but this just came to mind....

Yes, I think respecting the venue is important. The one thing I love about
the Burning Man community is that it has the Leave No Trace mentality-no
matter where we are. You go in, have fun but always leave the place better
off then it was before. Interestingly enough, cleaning up the next day also
adds to creating a sense of community. When you create community, I think
the crowd automatically respects where they are at more than if it was just
some club.

"I think this is one part of the equation but lets be honest, in this day
and age we should be doing more than just finding an empty space and
setting up some busted speakers before calling it a party. Lets bring back
the creativity.. Come up with a theme, or a "brand / look" and then run
with it."

---dude, it's all about the themes. That's my favorite part. ahaha. At the
last party I worked on we transformed the space into a cave. I spent hours
making fabric mushrooms and stalagmites. DO IT! :)
