Its true in regards to promoting the scene. Asside from the fact I see Club 23/Organix posters plastered everywhere on Granville Street, there is never anything done to promote new nights at Club 23. There were a few nights that came and went, a Hard Trance, Acid Trance night, a Regular Trance night, a DnB/Jungle night, and a few more, all ended as a result of lack of crowd. I was at the Acid Trance night, and there were 8 people. Thats just said.

I also inadvertantly found out about PVD through a friend, and I had no idea where to pick up the flyer. Actually I walked away from PVD with a flyer, but heck, already saw him that night. What good is it.

The other reason the scene doesn't seem to be there is due to the fact that the majority of people drink, and thats where the money is. I'm not saying that Trance addicts alike don't drink, but the money is with the bar stars and drunkards, and they seem to like house, pop and hip hop.

I'm going to the beach now.

there's always lots of flyers at futuristic flavors on granville...

There were full page PVD ads plastered in the Georgia Strait =P

Danny and I really need to get a flyer done for our night and start promoting to a different crowd, we're just broke as a joke unfortunately for the time being. The fact that our night does well with extremely little promotion is very fortunate for us, hahaha. I would like to diversify the crowd a little and get people in there earlier though, the opening set is pretty much a right off as no more than 40 people are ever in there until after 11. I wish the management would give free cover, drink specials, or something to people that came early, hehe.

sean, i dont think the management really cares about promotion. viva gets packed around midnight, despite the crazy ass $15 cover. ppl will be coming to viva on fridays no matter what.

its true tho, there is a lack of promotion in the city. the parties that do get promoted are usually thrown by ppl who care about nothing but money (i.e., twisted and gold club). those who know nothing about the scene however, never really get exposed to it. i think we are extremely fortunate to have velocity on xfm because that gets the music out to lay people. not many young kids who listen to rock/hip hop hear about trance, and velocity is just perfect for that. i wish they would talk about parties happening in the city other than the usual tiesto parties.

sean, maybe you and danny can hook up with arpy and ray and do a joint party. that way you all can pitch in a little to have enough for something more noticible.

Yeah I agree....we should have a T.A. night out or something.....with all the trance fans here I think that we could make a party that would rock the world!!!!!!... (or atleast we will all have a good time!!!)
