To be fair though, the way you broke into the scene in Chicago isn't exactly the standard "pay your dues, wait it out" story, which isn't to say that's a terrible thing, I'm just not so sure that in the short time you guys have been playing out that you've really had the opportunity to deal with the worst of it yet...
But what the do I know - You went from nothing to Vision in 2 months, I've been stuck spinning in northeastern Wisconsin for 4 years now.
Bah - I just get more confused as I go on... :clown: |
You're right in a lot of ways, but you don't know the whole story and i'll send that to you in a PM. :) |

No worries Yuris - And I don't want you to think that I think any less of the Bloc because of it, cuz m8 honestly, the fact that you could put together demo's as good as you guys did on those CDJ's blows my mind in about a million different directions at once... :eyespop:
I don't know - Maybe I do have that kind of "douchebag, chip on the shoulder, jus trying to find my niche after a little bit of hard work" attitude that I'm always so critical of others for... I need to learn to behave myself... :whip: |

Couldn't be much weirder than my story. Girlfriend already in the scene ftw! |

If your name and reputation is shaky enough that it cannot stand on its own merit, regardless of the promoter - then perhaps there are some things that you need to reevaluate.
Yes, there are definitely advantages to working with respected well-known promoters but if it's Spundae, why not? Not like you're playing 19 S (Rob will appreciate that :D ) |

Because I would be more attached with this guys promo company than Spundae. Honestly, saying that i've played Spundae LA means jack nowadays :p |

Now, now Jake, my seething jealousy and wanton disregard for proper social forum ettiquette regarding people other than the aforementioned "friends of RJT" are well documented. No one will dispute that I've been a jealous prick here on TA before... BUT...
I must say that with regard to this situation with Jack and Justin I feel as though I have not only done my best to remain loyal to them, but I have also gone to great lengths to get them back in good standing with the club owners and promoters in Appleton, and they simply feign disinterest and then proceed to go and talk to the owners and promoters on their own, inevitably ing it up again and putting strain on my relationship with them... |
