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

Fri Sep 12 08:28:54 PDT 2008

What's with the "quotes"?  You say you're a teacher so they don't just
magically appear, or do they?  What are you trying to convey with
their usage?

I was just trying to point you in a direction...  You mentioned
Dynagroove and where promotions were so I pointed you to an avenue in
which others found out - that was all.  There are other avenues.  If I
would have said I heard it on a commercial would you have quoted that
"people" were "glued" to a TV?  I'm not "scouring" a DVR.

I understand you were offended by Joey's initial message and while my
name is Joseph the similarity between those two specific messages ends
there.  Maybe I'm missing something or am guilty by association but I
don't see anything wrong with my initial reply to you.  How could it
have been different or more acceptable to you?

Harvey was "well worth" the $40 to my girlfriend and I becuase we are
a fan of the underlying theme and style he plays.  It's something when
you have a DJ that can venture across a variety of spectrums while
consistently going back to that same disco or any base theme.  We got
there about 12 or so and it was packed and stayed that way through the
majority of the night.  Our friends were in attendance and we danced
the night away.  We weren't sucked into any politics, drama, or
cliques - we just had fun.  That's worth a variety of prices.  Is it
not?
