wow.
what can i say here without getting all choked up? probably nothing
the party on friday night obviously did not go as smoothly as i'd hoped but the setbacks only served to reaffirm my belief in our scene and my love for all of you. everywhere i turned i saw friends and familiar faces and the air was electric with positive energy. i felt a vibe reminscent of arc parties and it felt so damn GOOD! i tell you, i was practically getting off on it!
Of course the damn club owner had to be an asshole and fk with the party but all he succeeded in doing was losing business and making a bad name for his establishment. when dealing with the level of deceit & shadiness that we were confronted with on friday, most people would have reacted with anger and lashed out, thus causing even more issues. Yet our group, DJs and guests alike, simply reacted with Peace, Love, Unity and Respect. If there was a ever a time when I saw PLUR in "action", it was Friday night.
I want to thank each and every one of who came out and showed your support. You are the reason I threw that party and you are the reason I believe in the community. You are the reason there IS a community.
I also want to specifically thank the DJs; Joel Van Bochove, Bobby Bolker, Pat King and Ryan Tyas. You guys are the ones who dealt with the most shit and didn't lose your cool. Some of you just met each other for the first time on Friday yet still easily formed a team and worked together. Not only did you spin great music for all of us, you acted professionally and calmly in all situations which made things so much easier on me. Once again, thank you. And congratulations because your sets were great and I enjoyed hearing all of you spin. The music was on point all night. Ryan, I'm sorry for the equipment issues as I'd have liked to hear you spin more. I hope you will play for us again in the future. 
To all of you...
i can't thank you enough. On Friday i experienced the love that i named this party after and felt the togetherness that i'd been missing. i think we took a step towards something incredible. a new day is coming and i'm so glad that we are all still here, together, to enjoy it. you are all beautiful people and i love you more than you'll ever know.
thank you for believing in (and being part of) my one, true, love.
