the way i look at stage/booth access (wherever i go) is that it is a priviledge and a gesture of respect on behalf of the promoter and i try to reciprocate that gesture every time by being respectful myself to everyone else up there, keeping the walkway clear, helping out when and where i can (especially with spill hazards or when the dj needs something) and by trying to add to the vibe and energy back there as opposed to detracting from it. as fortunate as i've been to have access to 1015's green room and other backstage areas, i've never once developed the mindset that i have a right to be anywhere. i also notice at other places that people who do have that mindset are the first to be denied on a strict night. there have been nights where i've been turned down from the green room and it's on these nights that people will really show their colors. when security is gatekeeping the green room, the last thing they want to do is stand there and have someone without a wristband yelling an explanation into their ear when their enforcement rules are black and white: no wristband, no access. their role is to constantly scan the floor making sure the assholes get kicked out and everyone else remains safe. they can't do that when someone is yelling a bunch of words that mean nothing to them into their ear. above all else, people should recognize that the guy with the wristbands has a full plate making sure everything else runs smoothly the whole night and that patience is a virtue. the worst thing you can do is try to stop him and ask for a wristband when he's clearly preoccupied with something more important. other than a few people trying to worm their way up without a wristband, i thought the booth was pretty well controlled for most if not all of the night. this speaks nothing of how much energy it took to maintain that control though. only dave and taz would know that

i thought the booth and the back stage was around 121-123? it's nice when the lfe is that high, but when the mids and highs are that high, holy ear fatigue! i need to replace my ear protection asap 
Dirty you tore it up....great job stepping in for Taj 
Your set was bumpin and uplifting the whole time....it just kept getting better and better on every song you put on. biggie ups to my main man Dirty
