Where you didn't know where the event was going to take place, or how the set up was going to be, surprise DJ's & such. If we are forced to attend the same venue, why don't promoters change it up every week? For instance take the GREAT Larry Levan @ the Paradise Garage, every week it was a different theme, speakers were set up differently, and a whole different setting was created. They packed that place every week till it closed it doors. Same place, different setting. Or how about making it a speakeasy vibe, where you have to know a password? Have a different theme or color you have to wear every week. Send a text message to peoples mobile phones & if they got it they get in free. Give it a membership feel, and it will in turn make the people feel like they belong to something. Therefore, the peeps that aren't, will want to be involved & it will gain momentum after time. We need to get creative with it and I know there is plenty of this in LA. Take care,
