[Dynagroove] monster massive- you should all know

[Jason]

I'm going to have to agree with Brett here on this.  Every time I go to a
football game, unless you're there an hour early, you might have to wait 45
minutes in line.  And they're simply checking a ticket, and maybe a few
purses and bags.  They don't have to pat people down to screen for drugs or
weapons.  And I'm glad for that.  The last massive I attended was a new
years eve party where someone was stabbed probably 100 feet from me.
There's only so fast they can go when safety and the law are taken into
consideration.  Besides, people wait 2 hours to ride space mountain, and
this is way more fun than that.

O.K..I think there is something that all you should know about massives
and are not taking into consideration. Most of the promoters and partiers
on here only do and go to small parties. So, check this out.
A few of you keep bitching about how long it took to get into the party
(ie. 3 hours+) but you need to understand crowds..
When you are doing a large party 20k+ people, you try to figure out how to
get in the most amount of people per hour into your party with searching
etc..
Monster had at least 50k+ people there and that takes time to get them in.
It does not matter how many times you have run at a venue, you can only do
what is humanly possible.
If you get in 5000+ people an hour(they were probbably doing more than
that) then you are doing a good job.
A massive is not the same as doing a concert or a USC football game.  You
have to search in shoes, Bra's, belt's, purse's, backpacks, etc. and you
need to make sure they are not getting in fire arms, drugs, etc. You cant
stop everything but you have to have the security do the best possible
job. Or as the promoter, you are liable and can be sued later by patrons,
or parents or both. I know because B3 has been sued for this very thing.
So, You guys should back off of how long it took to get in. It's bullshit
to keep talking shit on the promoter when they did the best they can with
the best security company in the business(CSC).
If they got in 5000pp an hour that still means that at 9pm, they still
needed to get in 35,000+ people- that is not an easy task!
So, everyone needs to recognize that Reza did the best possible job and
standing in line just comes with the territory!
STOP ALL THE BITCHING!  I am pretty sure most people at the event had a
good time or they wouldnt keep showing up.
I have no invested interest in go ventures parties but i do like to throw
big parties and it just sucks that everyone keeps ripping the promoter
when they have no clue how to do an event. Especially you promoters that
have never thrown a party over 2000 pp. It's a joke to listen to everyone
"dis" when they havent ever pulled heads and probably never will.
It's not easy, so give him a break and like my mom always said "If you
dont have something nice to say- Dont say it all".
peace
brett
