Music and drugs aside, I can't stand being around the people who frequent the guvernment. they are rude, pushy, disgusting, inconsiderate, and yes I am generalizing. Jeff, I don't think it's unfair that people would like a headliner to come on before 4am. For people who lead 9-5 jobs, and don't work a retail or a bar/restaurant job and have to keep day hours M-F, staying up til 4am on a Friday night for the headliner to come on is near impossible without drugs since you've already been up since 6am Friday morning.

My thoughts exactly!! Staying awake from 6am thursday-6am friday for Decadence was brutal. I'm always crossing my fingers waiting for set-times to be announced, as it usually decides whether I'll be able to go out or not.

I really liked someone's idea of having the Docks open during the day for these events. It'd be a nice change!

Cat-nap eh?

Well, I have tried this before: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Most of the people I know work full time - and it is quite hard to break a pattern of waking up at 6:30AM (or 5:30 in my case) for a single night of clubbing. I find it impossible to go to bed at 6:30PM.

What I'm saying is that a headliner coming on at 5 (and playing until 9) is something extraordinary, and should be perceived as such. When Guetta came to T. for the first time (Lot 332 I think?) he played at 2-ish.. That was awesome...

Now, financially, I'm also sure that this makes more sense. Book 1/2 less DJ's. Make them play until 5AM. Most of the money is probably made by the club prior to 2:30 (when the license ends)... The only things bought/sold after that are red-bulls and waters. I'm sure it's not worth it to keep the club open b/c of red-bull and water, while you're paying 1-2 extra DJ's another 20-30 K (case this weekend, probably Gabriel's and MO's fees).

Anyhow... Drugs = baaaaad. Earlier headliner times = goooood.

In my opinion, although the intentions were good, this topic is completely inappropriate. Several people were indirectly mentioned in the original post when they haven't been approached by you. If you think someone has a problem pertaining to their drug use, you should be approaching them directly. This is not a public issue and should not be made one.

ps. I don't see ecstasy being mentioned in the list of horrible drugs that people do.

but dont u think that other institutions would take advantage of this situation and make their clubs after hours with regular djs playing??

im sure the aspect of staging events and opening clubs earlier has already been considered and dismissed due to less profitability issues. It is a business after all.

People tend to be doing more constructive activities during the day which will be hindered should this added distraction be placed b4 them and should they go for an early party, the possibility could be that at the end of that event, they would want to go and continue partying elsewhere which could lead to the same scenario.

At the end of the day, we cant be blaming external factors for our own faults.

Yeah, why is it that e usage is basically ignored in our "community. We consider everything else bad, but e is just there and we all accept it. It is still a drug and people abuse it like every other drug, and amoung us, i think its abused the most. Just because majority of the people writing in this thread partake in it doesn't mean it can escape the criticism all the other drugs are getting. When you find yourself upping the dosage b/c you have a tolerance to it, guess what - you have a problem.

Furthermore, in agreeance with Graham, whether it was intended or not, there are a lot of personal references in this thread. If they are/were pertaining to me, I'd be mighty pissed. Tota isn't a&e intervention. If they are actually your friends, pick up a phone. Don't type it out on TA.

I can't sit here and say that I haven't gone overboard on the drugs....it's happened in the partying career. I also can't say I don't indulge in party favours every now and then....but in all honesty, the past few times that I've taken E my dancing abilities have decreased and I tend to just feel mellowed out. Alot of people might say it's the pill, but my friends have been on the same pill and dancing the night away.

Personally I have more fun partying sober, and to all you people that think you can't party sober.....try it at least once. I know that if you all truely love the music as much as you say you do you'll be able to do it. Dancing to the music and feeling it without chemical enhancements is such an incredible experience

I agree with spitty though....call your friends and talk to them about it

Very good point made Graham. If anything E can be one of the worst. As well as you "know" your dealer or "trust" the people you're getting the pills from. Do you REALLY know what's in them?

in nat's defense..... it seemed she was worried of those who were taking multiple drugs at a time 'aka cocktails', and over doing it in the process. she never mentioned E as 'a harmless' drug....

and the only reference she made to other people was the 'tony island' shit, and whats wrong with that? seemed like every TA and their dog were talking shit about that, and now that the code has been broken, it's bad to bring it up?

i dont get it
