It has very little to do with LA itself, but using their massive events as an example. Those events are staged at event centers, venues, whatever you want to call it. Basically there's a formula to how an event is executed whether it's a music event, a convention, sporting event, etc. All of that is more so depended on the promoter and venue's management.
Lovevolution the parade and festival requires the city itself, its epic business center, the management levels of the police, fire and medical, the approval of local businesses and the cooperation of the surrounding buildings such as Bill Graham, City Hall, a historic museum and our public library, the department of traffic, etc.
It's a bureaucracy, not only does that have to be all green lights, but the nightlife industry has to be on the same page as well.
Our formula drastically changes year to year; police captains change, venue management changes, departments change so our event starts from scratch almost every year.
People are so worried about the lineup, they forget there are far more important things like the safety of the people who are attending and the safety of the people who will happen to be there but don't give a shit (like a family visiting from the suburbs wondering wtf is going on) |
I think everyone on TA understands that. The reason I said it's like a SoCal rave is because
many more ofntheir events have Paul Oakenfold, Deadmau5, crystal Method, groove armada, etc etc as their headliners. Trance is falling behind down there and most people I know don't agree with is. But somewhere there's a million people who do, and they all go. But the vibe is always differant. That's why I love SF parties. Trance is ussually up front an makes for a very happy crowd. No peoe jumping over balconys or rushing stages. NO fights...
I think change is good. But why shock a crowd with I complete flip in lineup styles?
