you nailed it on the head.. but don't forget.. saying good things about your party is "LAME"

Hey child, read this just so you understand that its frowned upon if you are reviewing a night you are "AFFILIATED" with (IN ANY WAY)

And if you want further evidence just ask Jeff Button. That guy used to get nailed everytime for posting a review for a night he is "AFFILIATED" with.

So... lets say I was a dj (which I am).
I opened the night at 9pm.
I stayed the whole night and thought it was unfuckingbelieveable.
It would be lame if I started a thread saying how good I thought it was?
Because I was associated with the party?
Am I getting this straight?

If you are a DJ returning the compliments the partiers are commenting you with then you are in the clear

Throwing a comment in there saying you had a great time is somewhat ok (within reason).

it wasn't my event homie. it was a Trance at Mac event held at O Lounge...which I do the friday nights at. So am I not allowed to give my review about an event I went to? you're involvement with this thread and not having been to the event is lame.

now. the next Trance at Mac event at O Lounge will probably be a collaboration between Nightdreamer (me...thus making this post lame becaue of my involment in the event ) and Trance at Mac on our friday night, and the event will remain a Charty event.

lol....by the looks of it, my small comment (which was uncalled for) about another club in hamilton has clearly stired up some shit.....now this thread got lame.

signing off on this thread.
see you at The O (and probably Barcode too )

lol, child.. if you really want to resort to name calling be my guest. ive been in this scene for a long time doing promos, and it is never lame to review your event. never. thats how true promos work. i don't need some TA telling me how to promo an event. whenever you do promo, you tell people how amazing the last one was.. word of mouth is your most powerful tool.. now would promos really work if you said nothing about your party? keeping your mouth shut would be considered lame.

A promoter raving about his own event isn't looked upon as a "credible" review. What else is the promoter going to say about his/her night, it was bad?

Thanks Owen I think thats an appology. We aren't trying to compete with anyone, just doing our own thing. But its not just one club we work for its 10 weekly. So we take what we do very seriously.

Let us know if you and your crew want to enjoy yourself at Barcode and I will add you to our VIP list and escort you to a booth.

of course a promoter is going to say good things.. and yes i agree if a promoter is going off and raving about how good his party was, but in this case it was different.. owen was just a partier for this event.. and i agree, this event was off the hook!

You assisted in locating a venue for the event constitutes more than just being a clubber. You were "affiliated" with the night. I find it hard to believe that you kept quiet about this night not telling a single soul about it.

Who are you kidding?

Originally posted by Mortyman Claude. No offense mate. But you have no idea what you're talking about. I've been involved in the industry by djing, organizing and promoting events in Whistler and Vancouver BC for years mate! And in NO WAY is saying good things about your party considered lame! What's the difference between telling people how good a party "was"... and how good a party "will be"? Wouldn't it be considered more lame to hear from someone saying that a party is going to be off the hook or will be the best party of the year... even though the party hasn't even happened yet?? By your reasoning, the same concept would apply. Please mate. It's our job to get the ball rolling and tell people how good, fun and exciting an event was or will be. Only if the mass decides to speak their opinion about how shite something was, then it makes the promoter sound lame and not credible.

A promoter reviewing his/her own thread "raving about it" can't be taken seriously. There have been many threads about this on trance addict. I dont want to have to search the archives but believe me they are not credible reviews.

That's like having Ron Popiel rave and tell you that his "set it and forget it" rotisserie chicken oven is the greatest thing ever.
