I appreciate you guys responded. I was on DI's list that night, which was advertised as free before 11. I get to the door @ 10:40 and the line was ridiculous (later I found out about the asshats from the Real World being there, so I understood the reason of the clusterf*ck), but managed to make it to the front of the line. I got a $5 off card (it was still 10:50) and then a promoter that I didn't recognise told me it was $30 to get in (with the card).
Another thing was that people pretend not to know you when I've been going to Glow and other Panorama parties every week for years when I lived in DC. I'm not saying by any means that I deserve preferential treatment, but at least a little courtesy was due with a "Hello" without the attitude.
I'm saying this because the experience at the door is so important for a patron, and how somebody is welcomed sets the tone for the overall experience. They might not be hired by Panorama, but the impression caused will always reflect on the hosts of the party. No harm done though, I still had fun that night, but elsewhere.
I will definitely hit one of you guys up next time I decide to come by, will prob be for Joris. Thanks! |
I could not agree more about the tone being set at the door. I wanted to make sure that your experience was a one-off, not the routine. If you ever need anything, or have a question about a DI event, send me an email (christauff AT-symbol districtignition.com). Your experience was not something I would write home about and I'm not proud that it happened to you. DI guys are always outside (I swear we need to get monogrammed hats) and we are there to keep situations like that from occurring. Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it.
