Stan, I don't know where your animosity is coming from. First of all, I complimented you in the my first thread. Second of all, you restated half of what I said in your first paragraph. Third of all, I addressed the age issue, which is what affects you, mostly. Additionally, if you speak with Chris, I'm sure that he'll agree with most everything that I said here. I know Chris, and I'm sure that he feels himself fortunate to have something steady in this town that doesn't require support from a local scene that only exists in cliques.

Actually, you would be surprised. Chris and I have a lot more common opinion-wise. We did not discuss the age issue; however, there are many people who are in the 18-20 range and who are eager to attend such events.

If you think Florida breaks and DnB are all that's going on around here, you are not paying attention. There are two DnB nights in this whole town, and Florida breaks are only really played in two venues consistently in downtown (Alpha and Thee Grotto), and they don't even play "Florida" breaks, most nights (a lot of progressive breaks and nu skool breaks). The dominant genre being played in this town is house music (tech, tribal, funky, progressive... you name it), and it's being played everywhere. If you aren't aware, then you aren't paying attention, and that's no one's fault but your own. If you're feeling angsty toward club owners for having rules about 21+, well man, that's a very very small part of the problem. They have legal obligations that I'm sure you don't understand that make their lives a lot easier if they only allow 21+ patrons (but we have had this discussion before, although your argument doesn't reflect that you've ever heard a word that I said).

Oh I am aware of those events, I go to Sceneorlando everytime. However, one thing is to be aware of those events, another thing is to be able to attend them. BTW, I tried applying for the show on their radio, for some reason Roman decided to be all smartass with me, especially, when I was giving details about myself. He said that he'll set up a server and contact me later. Still waiting for the response.

I'm not just blaming TA here... don't misunderstand. But if you think that anyone other than fans are responsible for getting something going again in Orlando, you are way off base and haven't been around long enough to know what you're talking about. I'm sorry to call you out like this, but you have taken a very immature stance to a very valid argument. I thought you had your head screwed on a little straighter than that.

Maybe I exagarrated the whole age issue. There is not enough of us, even if we tried to come up and do something. Hip-hop and top-40 still brings more money in this town. One of the reasons why Blue Room switched its format. I'll ignore your last sentence.
You do have valid points too, and I guess I was too biased when I said those things. However, saying that it is a primarily fault of fans is wrong.

On a more positive note, I'm really happy that things are going well for you at Flow. That's awesome! One question though... do you really think that Flow caters to the local EDM scene at all? They have more restrictions for entry than any other venue in town. They represent the very thing that you're angry about in your argument. |
Thanks, I do what I can, but I can only do this much. Based on my observations, people liked what I've played from the beginning to the end. Not all is lost, I hope. I guess your right about them being strict and all. Maybe it is because I get in there anyway, therefore I did not bash them at all. 
Also, not everyone knows about sceneorlando. This site needs to be promoted as much as possible. Honestly, I found it by chance.

btw, if some of you are really into getting involved with trying to play some nights or just supporting your genre, stop by the drop shop when you can and talk to the guys there. that's how a lot of my friend's nights got started and they are really cool people too. the ones i know, they know what's up.
