Philby i dont want to repeat what jules and Matt have correctly said but i'll just add a couple of points.
When we started Obsession we did so because the numbers at the smaller nights were becoming less and less and knew we had to try something different.
The problem we have atm is that venues in melbourne simply dont want trance. You can write the word house on the pavement out the front and you have a full club where as if you say trance they think junkies in fat pants.
Room is a REALLY big venue and as such is extremely hard to fill. We put 500 ppl in the place and it still doesnt have that "packed to the rafters" feel that makes interview such a great night. But sadly there isnt a venue in between that will also support a bigger capacity as we grow (which we hope to do).
We need variety in the nights running and all doing well if the scene is to continue here.
That comes from a good product, hard work and persistence however, not luck. :) |

I have some suggestions.
1. Naked Batemans
2. Bring back the homeless guy in the front room *looks at Queen Vee*
3. Let Steve Strangis arrive on a motorbike like Tom Cruise in Top Gun with "Highway to the dangerzone" playing
4. Next Obsession should feature an array of native animals Obsession - Flora and Fauna
I like this theme and flyer the best out of all the events :D
The only negative aspect I feel about Obsession is the pressure you guys seem to be under before the event date. It makes it a little nerve racking to watch (Will they make numbers etc). |

We put alot into the production of the night to make it stand out as something different but this means big budgets to break even, I'd love for this to not be the case but i think we just need good turnouts regularly. :) |

| lol you can't really compare the two nights. big difference between filling a club that hold 120 people, and filling one that holds 1200, even up to 1500 people. |

Embracing the goddess energy within yourselves..
will bring all of you to a new understanding and value of life.
A vision that inspires you to live and love on planet earth.
Like a priceless jewel..
buried in dark layers of soil and stone.
Earth radiates her brilliant beauty..
into the caverns of space and time.
Perhaps your are aware of those who watch over your home.
And experience it as a place to visit and play with reality.
You are becoming aware of yourself as a game master.
Imagine earth restored to her regal beauty.
Stately trees seem to brush the deep blue sky.
Clouds billow to form majestic peaks.
The songs of birds fill the air..
creating symphony upon symphony..
The goddess is calling for..
and honoring..
of what she allows to be created..
from the core-mystery of the blood.
Those who own her planet are learning about love.
Tune :)
