last minute plane ticket is to expensive and fuck driving


im not going ya have fun

Yep, it was on (I just got back).

Dave M & Berzerk threw DOWN. If you haven't seen them, I recommend it. For an early slot, they really got the crowd moving.

RonE then rocked the house. Good track selection, good mixing. I got increasingly annoyed with the guy with the mike trying to build the crowd up. "I WANNA SEE YOU BOUNCE..ON THE LEFT SIDE...ON THE RIGHT SIDE". If I wanted that sort of Mcing, I'd go to Paradox.

Then it was a RITM DJ set by Bunny, which fell flat.

Tracks ID'd:
Felix da Housecat "Watching Cars Go By (Cyberwhore)"
Peaches "Shake your dick, Shake your tits" (Oh, & I did)

Felix & Peaches back to back briefly shook the crowd out of their torpor. For a really unpublicized event with a super-underground map checkpoint, it was well attended. (700? ) But the crowd never ignited--I couldn't quite figure out why, & Bunny seemed frustrated.

For me, the lack of liquor was a negative. They only sold beer. It pained me to realize how much a rum & coke (or Vodka & RedBull) helps my experience. I never quite got into dancing. Maybe it's partly culture shock from being back from Guatemala.

TA's in attendance I talked to: Dave M, Dirk W, DeviantTXPete, deepTrance23

After Bunny, the cops requested the music get turned down. The MC led everyone in a chant quoting NWA "F the Police".

Well, we ended up getting to go...yay

I will post the pics from the party, IHOP with Ron-e, and the afterparty on my site either today or tomorrow.

The RITM set didn't do it for me the sound was very harsh up at the front of the venue. Highlight of the night besides being with all of my beautiful peoples was Berzerk vs Dave Molina. That set really took me by surprise and it was great to see the crowd getting into it that early. I felt sick the whole time but it was worth the drive. The "comedy" by the Arcangel was pricless too.

"this is a dolphin-free track"


priceless

bwahaha

I can't believe people were getting their panties in a wad about the dolphin comment too.

I was looking at the show flyer that Aaron left in my car. It clearly said "Rabbit in the Moon DJ SET

Wish I'd seen that flyer before the show, I would have had different expectations (ahem...Dirk).

Overall, happy I went.

Pluses: Respectful, interested crowd.
Interesting array of people. Haven't seen that many glowsticks/spinners since Burning Man.
Lack of Julios.

Negatives: $3 for a can of coke was ridiculous. They had a half open bottle of wine by the bar. I tried to buy some, the bartender declined. If the bartender doesn't want to sell you alcohol, you know it's seriously OFF.

bad show

For those of you wondering how it went:

It was really hyped up, it was supposed to be a good show. I only got there after RITM started, but was standing outside for a while waitin for a friend to come. The music I heard outside was great. The venue was more out on the middle of nowhere than say venues downtown or even Marketplace Austin. BUT the crowd never got fired up, the lighting/soundsystem just wasnt quite the best. The lighting was good but never was variable enough or high energy. I loved the green lasers on the left side of the stage but it wasnt enough. Then when it started to get good, police intervened, made them turn the music volume down which I think was a huge factor in the crowd not 'feeling' it. after that it was all downhill, RITM couldnt compensate although I do think it was partially their fault, they seemed unprepared and the mix messed up a few times. It really was a waste of the $20 or so for the ticket. I think law enforcement just caused the crowd and the show to lame up. What a waste.....although I really hope it doesnt discourage RITM to do another show in Austin. I bet they wouldn't want to though.

This is Joe (Berzerk); Dave and I had a blast up there. Thanks for the kind words and all the support!

Was a fun night. The opening acts tore it up, indeed.

I had a frikkin' blast. Thank you to everyone that made it out to support and the kind words are much appreciated.

Props to: Aaron, Edie, and Dirk. It was awesome meeting you guys in person. Pete and Jacob...always a pleasure.

Mad ass props to the Nice Guy for giving us a chance to play. I hope we did your party justice. Sorry you went through so much crap during the show with Law Enforcement and all.

Overall, I had a great time, but I wasn't feeling the RITM set as much. I think I was so happy talking to peeps I hadn't seen in wa while. It was like a giant family reunion.

Dude are you out of your fucking mind... just because you didn't have fun didn't mean the other 800 people in there weren't having a blast.. you might have wanted to take your blinders off but most people were dancing, laughing and having a good time... you seem to be the only person on at least 10 message boards that had anything negative to say...
the lights and sound were adequate for that type of building.. we had 12 fixtures in all .. plus 3 projectors and lasers.. and 4 stacks of EAW sound with extra sidefull mid and top range... If you wanted more than that please feel free to get some and bring it to the party next time.. we spent nearly 13,000$ on that party... had to change venues with 4 DAYS notice.. weren't allowed to pass out our maps but for an hour before being harrassed and threatened to be arrested by the APD at the other venue... had travis county sherriffs show up 9 times, give us a niose complaint ticket from a person who called form a half MILE away.. TABC showed up and gave the bar aticket.. hell even the building inspector showed up and found nothing wrong but he showed up to shut the party down cause someone called him... the SWAT team were gearing up at the other vneue to come and shut us down at least 10 truckloads.. but the travis county sherriffs said they had it under control.. had we not had all those probems.. mainly the ones with the old venue not letting us tell people where the party was.. we might have broke even instead of losing 3000$..

there were alot of behind the scene things going on to even have that party.. and for you to come on to this message baord and bash our hard efforts to create something like that under so much pressure and scrutiny is totally bullshit...

Did you talk to Bunny?
how would you know whether or not he would come to do another show.. HE LOVED IT.. he thought it was the true underground old school shit.. as a matter of fact after the ARK fiasco he wasn't giing to come to austin ever agian, and we just opened the door again...

i'm not going to say you shouldn't have your own opinion.. but man you need to know what we had to go through to even have that party before you start talking shit about it...

next time you want a party that might live up to your expectations , please feel free to pull 13,000$ out of your ass and throw your own party.. I just hope you have to deal with all the shit we did to have that event...The i can come on here and critique your party, So you might know how it feels to have someone talk shit about something you worked hard for...

I thought the party was pretty damn good (not just because I was on the lineup; I've played at shitty parties before and flamed them.) The crowd was pretty big and there was a good vibe in the room. The sound and lighting were more than adequate in my opinion. I talked to Bunny backstage and he said he had a fucking blast as well. Everyone involved went through a lot of shit to make the party happen and run as smooth as it did, so they get my respect.

the place had a definite old skool feel to it. i had ablast., joe and dave rep'd DCS very nicely. There was alot of shit that had t happen to make this happen, and it came off nicely. If i wanted to flame this event, well, it would be pointless. I could have said "oO no dnb" but well, what does it matter? the vibe was thick, the peeps were having a good time, I had a blast seeing old faces and making fun of dumb ass kids from some lame ass site. all in a all, great party, great vibe, big ups to teh nice guy

NiceGuy-I want to say thanks for going to all the effort to make the party happen. Aaron told me about some of the drama you went through, & your own account confirms there was even more than he knew.

I had my doubts about an AllAges Show, but everyone (of all ages) seemed respectful & considerate of others. Thanks again for putting this together.

Hmm i didn't think I'd get dogged that bad for just posting my opinion. By the way I did dance all night and was into the show as well. I stayed on the dancefloor 99% of the time I was there, just posting my point of view for thsoe who didnt make it and for those wondering how everyone else felt about the show. I went with three others and unfortunately they didn't have a good time either, but that's just the way it goes sometimes. One of my friends said it was the worst show he's been to. And he's REAL experienced in this scene, WAY more than I am. Anyways I KNOW that you guys went through hell b/c of law enforcement etc and I do respect that big time. Anyways I should have known to put my flamesuit on for that post. LIke i said, i didn't blame the producers, organizers or anything. The law enforcement really just dicked us.

Yall did good for what you had. I did not notice that it was just a DJ set so I hyped it up to be a lot more than it was (but hey, I got you more attendance!). So yea, everyone, that is not what Rabbit In the Moon is as a live performance.

I thought Bunny's tracks were awesome! I did notice a lot of people having a hard time getting into it.

Overall yall did great. Of course Dave already knows how badass I thought his set was (same goes for you Berzerk).

TMFT, Aaron, Dave and everyone else I know I am forgetting, great to meet yall! Pete, as always, it was fun. Okay, well I am exhausted so I'm cutting this off. Good times guys.

Don't forget about the BBQ boy!!! Good times...

aww yes, that was delicious as well. so was the macaroni and cheese. it would have been even cooler if I wasn't horribly hungover AND sick with a cold. Thats probably another reason I didn't get into it that night was because I was feeling horrible. So sorry for being a downer to everyone

Its all good mang, there will be more parties dor us to hang out at.

had you said it that way from the beggining you would have gottena better response.. cause as far as being the "party goer".. you got dicked pretty hard..

However being the "party throwing" i got the shaft with no vasoline, got a ticket and lost money... i got it three ways.. in all holes.. It SUCKED.... But it's all good i understand how people opinion differs and i posted up there that everyone is entittled to their opinion.. but please explain to your friends who also didn't ahve a good time what you now know.. that we went thorugh hell to bring that production to you.. Sorry it wasn't to thier likeing.. maybe if they come out again they will see something differnet and like it more next time..

peace
