Now that is fucking cool.

Saw this earlier in my GReader. Good article. Grats Thrax on the photo creds.

i've been telling people that i think the standard is one of the best models for a day party venue and i've been looking at spots to do something similar around here - the hilton downtown has a rooftop pool but it's surrounded by more floors on all sides, the paramount building has one, but not enough space for a party, the palace has one, but it's enclosed. i'm also positive that last weekend's party was a monster.

but on balance... this guy vacations in la for a weekend and stops in on what was probably the best party all year, then asserts that la's scene is better than everywhere else he's never been to? that's reaching even for an op-ed piece. it would have been easier to digest the storytelling of his trip (which i enjoyed) had he not suggested that la, nyc and detroit are all america's dance scene is worth and thus la takes the crown. maybe la does have the best scene (its certainly one of the best), but i doubt this guy really knows. he certainly hasn't made the argument. his story would have been really good without all the platitude imo.

as far as i'm concerned l.a. is this good every weekend. you just have to know where to go. i would say there were a couple weekends in august that were even better.

that's good to hear, but beside the point. if his article was titled "LA dance music scene alive and well" or "LA dance music scene on a meteoric rise" that's something we could all agree with, but this guy calls himself a music journalist with this kind of writing? it's hard to swallow, for me at least.
