Bringing in 100 people makes you a party organizer.
Bringing in 1000's means you are a PROMOTER.

Oh Absolutley man  Don't get me wrong I love the BooM Festival.. Nothing like it in the world.. But they could be a little bit better in 2 major things... Sanity and water prices... 2 very escencial things
You can live very easy very cheap in Portugal.. No need for the 2 euro waters I think.. In normal parties there 50 cents to a dollar |

The gouging on water IS pretty sad. Especially when you're going to go through that many... |

Re: Boom Festival
We drank from the "potable" water taps with very few ills. The composter toilets worked pretty well I thought. With the dollar exchange what it was things were a bit heavy but way too out of line.
I thin the largest trance-only affair is the Eclipse festival in Canada, was it 3000 last year? Add to that a few 1000-person events in the US and that's about it for draw. I think the multi-genre Symbiosis draw quite a few but the key is "multi-genre". Orb did all right last year, it seemed. Good luck for 1000-mark guys. So is ~$100/ticket alot to ask then?

HAHAHAHAHA!! Man I'm poor too and in the same boat when it comes to parties. but why bitch about it on here? Lemme guess its because your a girl and you think people will let you into partys for free cause you have a pussy. I AM SO SICK OF THAT! The clothes I wear are the same clothes i've had since high school and i'm about to be 25 in march. SO WHAT!! But I still go to parties looking as unfashionable as ever cause when it comes down to it, its all about the music. Fuck clothes. everyone should just be naked. Fashion is the dumbest industry and the biggest money wasters. When is there gonna be a naked psy party with naked tourist and psysex!???

Maybe so but I'm never going to complain about scantily clad psy-girls wearing sexy flouro outfits dancing themselves sweaty while I'm around to watch.

They have parties at a nudist/swinger colony in WI. NCN campground. NCN= No clothes necessary!
Maybe you should look into that. |

This is true. If we made the event 18+ it could be a naked party.

There is a whole other World of politics that most here aren't aware of. If you have Skype or the funds you can sit in at the table for World parties during the Winter seasons or be apart of the "It ain't what you know, its who you know"... I've heard a lot about the crews mentioned in this thread but they don't bother me so I will not bother them, I say this from a personal level only. We could break down politics and find lots of crews not following their preach.
I will say:
Boom is ran by Diogo and his partner and they hire the crew which makes up other World crew members that throw parties and there are some good ones coming... Its a 7 month, 16 hours a day worth of work for the core group that is hired. Over 700 artist are booked and all the other things that come with it, very stressful. For what they offer, the gate price is fair. No one should get mad at Diogo for not doing anything else, it's just him and his partner living life that deserves the rewards of two peoples hard work. They aren't capitalizing off taking from the scene although it may seem that way.
Who doesn't gouge on water and if it's free or cheap, are you sure your not getting gouged elsewhere? I fully agree that it should be free if you have the attendance to pay for it in ticket price. Maybe it's vendors(shake down street)or the venue, then ask the crew why they would allow such enlightenment. Go to the source instead of guessing why. The "Water Wars" are coming and have already started but are masked at this time..
Gaian Mind is ran by a crew that does other events. This isn't the same as Boom although it seems to be attempting to follow the same foot steps in growth and sound but in internal crew form in the World circuit. I personally have had two great experiences at their events and played on the chill stage with not one crew member saying thanks, which is a reason why I stopped going. I played to help out and was treated like I should of been honored to play. No big deal, its just something I noticed. Hopefully their new venue will lower the gate price and allow for louder volume in sound.
Orb and Alladin, they do not reply to emails which leads one to think lots of things. No.. no one wasn't asking to play, they were being asked something else in the neighborhood of 14 emails over 2.5 years.
Naked tourist and psysex at least tell us what their game plan is, sex.. Maybe, some of us are lucky and don't need to capitalize off the movement to get laid or to make advances up the ladder. Didn't Kiss already do that and isn't that what Simon and his boys have been doing? I used to listen to psysex and I stopped listening to Naked Tourist when they dropped that sample talking about dancing and phucking. Yeah, sex is a dance but get more creative with the samples, please. Then again, Naked Tourist is club music so I guess its on point for alcohol and booty calls.
"Those stupid jackets with glowing spikes on em" is a reflection of the Space Tribe company, Olli Wisdom and brother Mike. Fashion itself came with the movement back in the 60's. I personally like the eye candy, its fun and interacts with the psychedelic eye. If its a waste of money, be glad its not yours. Have you ever notice that most artist wear black clothing? What's that all about? What about all the people who deck themselves out then don't dance because they will sweat and loose their makeup?
The USA biggest cultural values that I've heard when abroad, outside of our government is WE TAKE. Our largest cultural roots are on reservations.
The economy and the local scene seems to be about selected crews and fashion leaning towards nudity.
Smells like an Economic Depression is underway without any hope.....
