I just want to say that i have been reading your post and i know the problems with the club and im trying to fix them , the problem has been internal and has been fixed in the past days . the club is going to be more under ground , i never told Matthias not to play is own stuff but since he will be the headliner he needs to play stuff that ppl dowmntowm could relate to , more of the commerical stuff and remixes, but also play a mixture of the new stuff . I been throwing shows in Tx for 8yrs and i have been loosing faith that ppl really care about the out come of EDM . so in return i wonder if i should keep trying to make it happen . When Chroma played his last nite at the club he told thank you for the chance to play out, thats all i wanted to do is give djs a chance that never would any were else . so the future of EDM is in all of are hands ppl laughed when we said we are going to open a dance club because they said we are doomed to Fail. PPl like hip/hop and nobody likes Techno , so instead of bashing what we need to do we need to stick toghther and keep this club alive . thanks to all the ppl that have supported and the djs that have given there time to play hopefully we can make a diffrence in something we all have a passion for EDM

Agreed Jojo. By no means are any of us bashing the efforts made to make Eternal a success. As you said, EDM isn't exactly the most popular style of music in these parts, but there is definitely an audience out there. Personally, I think the most important thing we can do at all times is be loyal to that niche audience. Otherwise that group will fade away from the club and fail to draw in and build upon itself.

I definitely appreciate the chance you've given us to play out in a venue such as Eternal. I think the reason why its so frustrating is because I see so much potential in the place and the week leading up to us going out there is always up in the air. I know tensions run high, but when we're up there playing we have the best time and everyone is smiles from ear to ear. You seem stressed and then when everything is going, you look happy. We all make a good team and I know we can make it work in our favor.
I do know last week was the least amount of "underground" people we had and we still managed to pack that dancefloor. I just want you to know that we want to do more and have this succeed for you as well as us. We have support from people, but they are reluctant to come out unless things are confirmed. Once we get things organized, I know this will work : )

Hmmmmm.... its not necessarily just the music that draws a crowd. here's what you need:
4x - Strippers
16x - Cans of Whipped Cream
2x - Roll of Duct Tape
1x - Mechanical Bull
1x - Me
We could put on a hell of show... let me know.

nice new splashscreen.
Agree with what's said above--jojo, I admire & respect your ambition & determination to get a new club going. Consistency will help you in building a base.
Dirk...I thought YOU were the mechanical Bull.

Good work on the flyer JoJo.
If you haven't sent them to print yet, any way we can change my name form Octane to Dave Molina?
Also, Packer should be James Packer.
**slashes wrists for not changing screen name**

STFU Dirk...
Nah, I wanted something energetic but then I remembered that I'm a Trance DJ and then I used my real name.
