that's pretty much already the case. |

just depends on who you're thinking about. To a 45-year-old housewife in Nebraska, EDM is still about getting completely wrecked off of X & spinning around in circles 'til you OD...with some repetetive beat in the background, in a sleazy underground warehouse. I don't associate with many such people, but that's still the majority. |

There have been many times I won't discuss the music I enjoy with people because I know they'll just write me off as another drug loser. |

My whole point wasn't that the candy kids are the only true fans of the music, I basically meant to just leave them alone. If they are not directly bothering you then whats the big deal. I don't like drinking, does that mean I should bitch every time I go to a show and see drunk people? NO - because I'm there to enjoy myself and the music, so I'm not going to let others ruin my time because they want to do something I may not agree with.
It sucks that you let something so petty stand in your way of having a great time that night. Maybe you should lighten up. |

i was drunk when i posted my mean comments... and they were also fueled by Club One w/ Kenneth Thomas (my back up plan B) in the fact that it had only 8 people there... Afterlife didnt have the alcohol, Club One didn't have the people... and i drove 3hrs and got a hotel for both my initial plan and even amazingly i had a backup plan both fell through... i was unprepared to find a plan C at almost 1am,... luckly Lizard Lounge pulled through..
but i wasnt upset with the kandy kids at all... i thought they were very amusing actually and would have enjoyed myself if i was also in that state...., but i went there to drink as anyone should expect at a club because it's legal and the norm...
i was more upset at the club for not having alcohol than anything...
ill be more than happy to go back to Afterlife exactly as it is, but this time ill come prepared to enjoy myself in that manner...
they should make it obvious to people on their website that they do not serve alcohol... |

| I have been to a few Afterlife parties and I've met plenty of people there that aren't just about the drugs. On the other hand, I've met a few people that have been all about the drugs BUT then I've met them and kept in touch with them...These people have gone on to experience parties sober with a greater appreciation for the music. Yes, Afterlife does portray a part of our scene that isn't exactly what EDM is all about BUT on the other hand I believe it might get a handful hooked on what EDM is all about. It goes both ways really...just my 2 cents... |
