That's the way to win people over -- by being a total ass.

God forbid someone asks questions about stuff that seems unusual. Perhaps you would like me to just give your $20 along with my birthday and email address because you're such a "visionary". You're right, I haven't been to any of your events. That's the exact reason why someone would ask questions or challenge some of the approaches you take.

moksa had some witty and comical comments in his rebuttal and that's perfectly cool and even encouraged. (oh my) You should take some lessons from him before you turn off the exact crowd you're trying to market to. Take some lessons from Liquified too. Devin gets flamed quite a bit from folks who way stuff like "Opera sucks, have more events at WetBar" or "I can't stand the crowd at WetBar, have more events at Opera", but you never see him go on some rant about it.

As for your comments about my close-mindedness, you obviously don't know me at all. Before you make comments like that or say "it's no wonder the rest of the scene is stagnant and/or basically dead when people think like that", perhaps you should consider that in this abyss of EDM stagnation, Ian James is performing 5 f*ing blocks from you guys on the same night at a way better venue (that I hardly consider mainstream), for lower price, I don't have to bring my own bottle, and I can just show up at the door and get in. Oh, and this venue that I allude to, it's a predominately gay club most of the time; but you're right, I'm just a close-minded hater.

You obviously don't know many people on this forum and about how we give each other shit all the time, especially since you just created your account to promote your event. Go you.

Originally posted by puskara its funny that you make so many claims about what is realistic or possible in relation to the scene in atl and how we run our events when you have never attended one! the reason you know nothing about us is because we are UNDERGROUND.. and no that is not just a catchy term for elite partygoers. it is a literal term for the manner in which we conduct ourselves. you are fully entitled to your opinion about how our event appears in a post on a forum, as well as your opinion of the state of the electronic music scene in atlanta. but you are very wrong and if you attended one of our events you would know this. and as for your little critique on how we chose to word our event post - for each and every cynical and sarcastic summation you gave there is a simple explanation - it is not surprising you had this much trouble understanding our post once you see your reaction to all the things you had read. your closed mindedness regarding the atlanta scene and its limitations is very telling of the nature of your involvement in this scene.. its no wonder the rest of the scene is stagnant and/or basically dead when people think like that. we are trying to expand on the "formula" of a party and advance the level of experience and what is possible at a trance-dance event. i dont really know you or who you are involved with or what you even do.. but you obviously have a problem with us by the way you interpretted what we are trying to do. is there any particular reason for you to be so rude and judgemental?

Well there are times when I accidentally substitute "he" for "it" when talking about you... I mostly correct myself though.

i registered to DEFEND my event.. i could care less what you think about what we do because we have made it this far without you and the scene you support and we will continue to..

going to a party at a gay club doesnt make you open minded. but you are definitely a hater.

OK

I don't think Chris meant to offend anyone or their genre of choice, but we were obviously curious about the event that was posted here, especially when it advertised things that are very different from the norm.

I'm telling you: Make absolutely sure that those 400 die-hard fans are going to show up for these guys, because it sounds like this event is going to cost a lot to run. Have you guys figured your break-even point? Is it realistic? I'm just saying that a majority of ATL clubbers aren't going to be arsed to take the effort to register and pay $15-20 to see a pair of DJs that they don't know (hell, people whine about spending $10 on good House jocks). Don't make the mistakes that I have made as a promoter, by bringing in a great Breaks DJ to an area that didn't have the support for it, and then trying to charge a $10 cover to people that didn't care about the guy in the first place. I barely broke even, and yes this happened in Hickory and not here, but I think you may be in for the same rude awakening.

We're not being mean, we're being realistic.

If you don't want the feedback then don't post the threads.

Chris: Anyday after 6ish is good for me. I'm definately down for some CD spinning (I'm much better with CDs than with wax!), and it would be great to get some practice before the radio show.

WOW thank god all of you uninformed people are uninformed of our movement here in Atlanta because you would totally disrupt the energy of what we are trying to accomplish....maybe we do find this spiritual...its a lot better than the mainstream garbage all the other trance producers / promotions companies are putting together....I'm glad we stay true to the trance dance experience...stay way if you have this sort of attitude...or come out and be enlightened...either way leave our movement be.

You know its a shame that "Tranceaddicts" don't appreciate or know what a psytrance event is..an all psytrance party sounds boring or wack? You all have obviously never been to a real party
