So I heard this is cancelled?

Where do you see me complaining?, I am actually giving you good advices...

geez

The first rule about organizing an event: book/secure your venue before anything else....
Because the venue itself will play a major part of the rest of the planning...

some venue may ask for permits/insurance/security guards/etc...
Some will have their own sound system...
Some will have their own bar and refrain you from selling your own stuff...
Some will ask for a % of the door ticket sale...
Some will need to be cleaned/modified to follow the city's rules..(if you playing the legit game)

Any of those details can make your bill go up by a lot, and can change your planning/needs drastically...


and btw, 8500$ is not that much if you want to make a quality event...


Also, don't go on your event's thread asking for help, it make you look unprofessional...(even though I don't think it matter much at this point)

all I can say is: good luck...

your event is nothing new, refreshing, or even interesting...(no offense to the djs)
there has been dozens of other event with the same line-up/concept, for 1/4 the price of yours...

tell me, what are you offering that is so special?
how is your event any different than all of the others?

the only thing you are bringing seems to be an overpriced event, with the argument that by making it expensive, it wont attract cracked out people...

for that price, and the product you are offering, my guess is that it wont attract anyone...

you might want to wake up from your little nublet promoter's dream, and get your things straight...

you are nothing new, you are not the savior of the scene, your concept has been done to death, and never made it past the 1st event....

What you are offering as a promoter is a product, and in any kind of business, the image/impression of your product will be a big part of your success or failure.

Now all I see, is a non-sense overpriced event, thrown by a kid who seems to have played with lucy way too much...and has no idea what he is doing.

I would not invest in that...


I think your best bet is to get Noah to delete this thread, sit down, get your act together
And come back with a solid concept/event.


or else I feel that the only thing that will come out of this will be a rave vs afterhours 2.0...

FUCK YEAH!

SHPONGLE LIVE!

Thank you for making this happen!



















err...wait a sec

welcome to 6 months ago

Im not sure this has been posted yet...

Oh! I had forgotten about those!

yep, this is a picture I took of some random plants on the side of the road in north-india...
they are pretty much everywhere...

I dont have a problem with lack of knowledge...
I have a problem with stupidity...

pot: california had crazy stuff...
hash: nepal/india was totally awesome...

J'avait deja entendu cette histoire!

mon tour:

Une femme random qui loue un kit de micro wireless...
elle rapelle plus tard:

Mme: Il marche pas ton micro!!
clerk: Comment ca y marche pas?
Mme: Bin ca sonne pas! On entend rien!
clerk: Vous ete sur que c'est bien branché dans votre kit de son???
Mme: Quel kit de son? de quoi tu parle?
clerk:???
Mme: Celine quand elle chante sur le stage, elle a juste son micro pis on l'entend partout elle!
/facepalm

I could probably write a book about all the stupid things that happened to me while working in retail...
sometimes customers are so stupid, you wonder how they got that far in life...

natural selection doesnt exist anymore, unfortunatly...

I also dont work as a salesman there, but most of the staff in the keyboard/technology department know their stuff very well...

not really

but if you are into the old analog tr/tb era, you want to check them out...

[ en.wikipedia.org ]

try to find Tb Resuscitation / Respect

and then bang your head on the wall thinking you should have been born a few years earlier..

the difference is that akarien is actually active and currently making good things for electronic music in montreal....

remind me a lot of the old hardfloor stuff...

Noah, remind me when we camped on the side of the highway near Calgary...
that was cold..

his name is Richard, I work with the guy, he is not part of the rave "scene"...he is mostly into popping and dance crew...

but yeah, his style is great and yes, its fucked up in a good way ;)

oli, the price is right..
I have been selling gear for a living for the past 2.5 years..
just check the market...
on ebay they rarely go for under 800$ not including shipping...
and on ebay you cant try the synth before you buy it...

make sure you know what you are talking about when trying to bitch about prices...
or else it just make you look stupid...

its already sold

like new, with box and manual

900$

pm me

so true

they are good for micro grow, where space/heat is really an issue....

but for a real grow..forget it!

just check the lumens output:3200Lm
a real 400watt produce about 50000 60000lm

for some reason, I ended up there at 4am....

and it was awesome..

so much underage kids, it felt like 99 all over again!!

I had fun!

Minitank parties were also amazing

they always had the craziest flyers and concepts

swirl 5 ,may 99

almost 10 years ago...

time fly :/

other than me, the only person I know who grows a good amount of cactus in montreal is [ www.fredsmagicgarden.com ]

when he see the price, he might change his mind though

oh he is back!

sweet!

me? no. This book was published in 97-98 if my mind is good...

if you want to learn more about the montreal scene
"Rituel festif" is a must to read
