Why not just ignore all the whiners and concentrate on your good time instead of picking on the people who you think aren't as fun to be around?

LMAO...please don't mistake me, this is all in fun. No drama or flaming with me, and the only time I'll say something about those that are doing so will be in a joking fashion.

my sarcasm is sometimes a bit dry, and way too serious, occasionally being misconstrued as the opposite. in person, i'll say things that you would think are obviously sarcastic and really fucking funny, but i won't crack a smile or even give you a sign that i am joking, and you'll be like, "what the fuck? i'm ready to laugh, but can he really be serious about that?"

my friends can read it and know better, but this is the internet, where emoticons are the only real way to decipher sarcasm from seriousness and otherwise.

sorry for seeming like and EDM snob. i'm hardly that. the most you'll get from me is, i wish he would have played this.

fuckups...eh. alex fucking rodriguez gets $25M/year, and i think he may even have struck out once or twice, even had a 10 game hitless streak. shit happens.

p.s. jen made the thread, i was just joining in the fun

hey do you guys remember raves .. ?? happy HULLABALOO!

Originally posted by jennypie Does anyone ever just go out and have a good time? I mean, I read all the picking apart of DJ's sets, sound systems, vibes, etc. and it sounds like that's the only thing people do when they go out. I understand why it's done and why it's so hard to ignore, but it just seems like that's the only goal when venturing off to party. How can anyone be having a good time when they're spending all of it trying to find the good/bad of the situation so they can write a review about it on a message board? For me, I spend all of my time simply enjoying the music and dancing. I never notice any of the other bad shit, cause I choose not to. Sure once in a while I'll notice a bad mix, or some ****** with glowsticks will bump into me, but since I contain myself in a bubble of good energy it doesn't phase me. Just because other people are having a bad time doesn't mean I have to. Call it turning a blind eye or whatever, but it's just a party, not a war, and I'm not going to feel bad if others are suffering. In fact, I think the best thing I could do is continue to live in my happy little bubble, because that shit rubs off onto people. You want some, have some. If all we ever have to give off to other people is good energy, that's all we'll get back. Thus, by simply ignoring all the shit and simply having a good time, that's all there is and the rest melts away. It's like anything else in life. A choice. Any situation can be changed by a choice the individual makes, and why choose to let the bad shit ruin a good time? I also understand that there is the truth. And the truth is that some nights are just shitty and can easily be picked apart. But again, why bother? There will always be bad, there has to be in order to have good (balance, yaddayaddayadda). This is why it comes down to the choice that the individual makes. My choice is to close my eyes, feel the music, and dance with a smile so big you'd think I just had an orgasm.

Well said, Your Mother is proud...

I agree alot with everything said here. When I'm at a club, I'm usually all smiles and just dancing along. I think the only thing that can ever break me out of my good mood is a bad train wreck... and even then, I get back into my groove without much hesitation.

Also, An experiment for those dancers on this board that like to dance hard. Next time your at the club, start dancing with alot of energy in the middle of a group of people who aren't dancing at all and have very low energy. Then, after about 4 - 5 minutes, stop and look around at those same people... you may be surprised at the positive results. I find that positive energy is ultra contagious when at the club... lets keep it that way.

im sure it wasnt intentional

as for me... if u ever read any of my reviews... its always just positive feedback. i try to spread my good vibe around to others.. if someone looks like they're upset or having a bad time i go and talk to them and see if i can put them in a better mood. just like u, i have this large energy field around me that filters all the bad karma.. but the environment im in really matters and affects whether im having a good time or not.


spread the love.

I also must point out that when things like this happen, I don't get angry or play the blame game like "Oh, dumbass can't watch where you're going!" Shit like this happens in a rammed party, and it's when people respond to these situations with anger that it gets worse. I do believe it was LOL '03 that I was coming from Skybar back down to the main room, and the balcony exiting the Drink was ridiculously overpopulated with peeps trying to get down. Well, ONE guy decides that he's gonna start pushing and threatening and I quote, to "Bust a cap in someone's ass". I'm pretty sure I don't need to elaborate further. Long story short, what could have been a 10 minute wait turned into almost an hour because everyone let this negativity adversely affect them.
My point: treat bad with good, the results are amazing. Indeed spread love!

God I'm cheesy, I should write a book..."The Tao of Jenn: Zen and the Art of Dancing the Jig"

I'm so glad you made this thread Jenny. This is exactly how I feel. The only times I've not had a good time is when I've gotten too drunk and had to leave but that's my fault. All the other times have been a blast. It doesn't matter if the club is rammed or not. It's the vibe. Bad vibes spread like an infectious decease and really kill some ppl's mood. But as you said I try to stay in my own bubble and try to boost the energy level of my friends as well by staying positive at all times. I was telling Emery the other day that sketchy ppl don't bother me at all. I don't know why it really is a big deal to some ppl and they avoid places like guv all-together because the sketch factor is too much for them... WTF!!! Who cares?? Just excuses excuses. When it comes down to it, if you want to have a good time, you will.

Once again thanks for the thread Jenny. Hope to meet you and Digital MP soon.

i find myself always having a good time, even if a DJ cant mix better than my cat, and there's all kindsa fucked up people around, sure i'll notice it, but i still end up havin a good time.


but it's still good to be critical of clubs/events/dj's

maybe some of them read this forum and say hey, that's a good point!

lol @ muff

I don't ever go out with the intention of having a bad time, but if I'm not having a good time I don't stick around and force myself to be a giant ray of sunshine.

And just because we say a DJs mixing wasn't tight, or the sound was shit, or it was too hot in the club or the drinks were too expensive doesn't mean we didn't have a good time. We just probably could have had a better time had those issues not arisen.

But for me, track selection is key. If I go out, I'm going for the MUSIC. The records. The well-programmed, well-paid for set. It's not everyday you see me out at an event where my intent was not to hear the DJ specifically. So if I don't enjoy the tracks being put down, I'm disappointed.

I had a great time that night.
