[Dynagroove] "well worth" $20...

[Amy Ricketts]

Thanks. I am already a "friend" of harvey and paul on myspace.  But I also
don't "live" on MySpace the way some people do. I check my messages and
read some of my bulletins, but I am not really interested in scouring
every bulletin or reading every page to find a posting.  I did know about
the black cock party but was out of town that weekend.

I am curious, as always, about what makes different people think a party
is "well worth" $20.

I would love to hear from those who did go to the most recent SD what made
it "well worth" $20.  I would guess that this discussion is of interest to
others on this list, particularly promoters planning future events. It
might do some people good to hear what paying party-goers think makes a
party worth paying for!

Thanks,
Amy

I'M OFF TO MEXICO ON THE BACK OF A VESPA!!  HAVE FUN IN LA THIS WEEKEND
W/O ME!!!
