Just got back but this time i have sumthin to say whcih mite not please everyone but its important for all to know how the scene in Ny is gettin pretty f**ked up
Reached the place at 11:30 for a change... early to celeberate independence all nite long...my friends and me paid $5 each to this chinesse gurl at the door takin care of the entry....Hardly 10-15 ppl there for the first hour wid some descent dark music playin , me and a friend of mine decided to bounce to grab a quick bite(Note no stamps or marks were been givvin to those goin out to get back in)...got back there like at 2:30 and the scene seemed to have changed a bit wid 30-40 ppl....the gurl at the door had changed at this lady who was pretty much WASTED i must say was takin care of the entry...she stopped me and my freind and asked us to pay $10 each for entry tho she saw us gettin in earlier and we also spoke inside for a sec....I refused to pay and opted to stand out and watch the show this gurl was creating and there it goes....she stopped these 2 other guys also who apparatly had been outside for a bit smoking but am sure i had seen them in earlier...2ndly there was another dude who was short on money and was pleading the lady to let him in and i heard her say "pay me a couple of bucks and i will push you in"
Now my point here is not to cribb about money or me not gettin inside again whcih i knew i would ,if i had opted to Create a scene and talk around a bit there in front of all whcih i chose not to....what i ask here is not to f***en promote and support such ppl who organise psy parties for the name sake and just to earn some money out of the public....its disgusting to see such petty things happening at a party and spoiling the whole vibe and meaning of what a psy trance party is all about...At staright i opted to leave that place wid my freinds cuz i was pretty much harrowed wid what was goin on there
My post here is just a lil note of concern to the psy scene here in New York whcih has been fallin down and is gettin in the hands of some lame ass stupid unorganised wasted ppl who just put up a show and are there to grab the $$ of the public....It definately was a not a good night as expected but am glad that i saw what was goin on and have posted it to make you all aware of it!!!
Peace to all! |

As organizer of these and many other events, who has seen the scene wax and wane and promoters come and go over 7 years, I respond. This is my first complaint about the door in the 7 months we've done things there. I'd hate for you to be stuck with a bad taste on the commercial end of our hard work (we do free outdoor events in NYC that are slamming)
a) organizers come and go in NYC. Not counting the controversial Tsunami, I have thrown more parties than anyone in NYC starting around '96, I have survived by reducing expenses and charging to get in the door. the relief doorperson has a great heart and i'd be happy to refund any cash to anyone charged twice. (more on that later)
a) parties cost money. DJs, artists, and equipment and lighting people all need to be paid a pittance for their hard work so that Trance Consumers (an ugly word, only in America) can come and consume. I prefer the people who get involved in the spirit of the particular trip we may be on in a given week - and do creative things!! And get in free. You receive more than what you get. My ideal event is an event where everyone gets in free because everyone contributes something. It's only the outsiders and Trance Consumers who pay to get in.
b) we did another all-russian the following weekend with ~20 different passwords. So many ways to get in free. the official outdoors afterparty organized by the same people was free, in Manhattan, and went all day. Also, it was slammin' I might add. I would divulge more, but this is a public forum. If you'd like to get on the "Safetydance" list for free outdoor events, shoot me an email describing who you are and we can meet up somewhere.
the door person was relieving the Chinese girl. I tell all door people to stick to the posted passwords etc. or guess what. we lose money and do not organize events. which leaves the Trance Consumer with no $5 events to go to.
if anyone ever gets stung at the door for $5 then i will be happy to return your money, if that's what it's all about.
PS I have a weekly newsletter with every single coomercial trance event in NYC called TripOut NY. You can get this free newsletter by sending a blank email to tripOutNY-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
PSS If you'd ever like to get off your ass and do a party yourself I'll be happy to send it out to the 1,065 people who get the newsletter!
