Ticket Holder Name(s):

First and foremost, i want to extend thanks to Dan and Rory at the IMC for all of their indispensable help throughout the evening.  They were definitely on top of things the entire evening.  I absolutely have to attribute the quality of this party to those two before anything else.  

Sound:  The industrial room was kept at a lower level because we had a problem with the breakers, but i think that overall it was just about right.  The psytrance room I thought was a little too loud — I think we were pushing 120db throughout the night.  It’s a good thing that Dan was handing out earplugs to everyone who wanted them, but at the same time that’s kind of scary.  :-D  My ears were ringing for hours afterwards.  Huge props again to Rory for the kick ass sound in the psytrance room, and to PMLA for the sound in the second room.  Special thanks to Scott Rexroat for hooking Justin up with a killer sound system — i can’t wait to hear that at capacity.

Deco / Visuals / Lasers: DAMN.  Derek and Carly definitely pulled this one off.  You guys are absolutely fantastic.  Looking forward to what we can accomplish together.  The visuals were a nice touch, although they weren’t that thought out - rather an afterthought.  Since we had no visual artists booked i think we did okay.  Having the projector next to the stage worked out very well.  I am not sure how we could do it any better for future events.  Timmy’s laser was mind-bending.  I sincerely hope it was worth the long drive to be there and set it up.  You are seriously one of the best I have ever worked with in that department.  

Artists:  WOW!~!~  I was glad that Mr. Roboto got to play a real extended DJ set.  You have come such a long way since you started doing this, and your energy was reciprocated from the crowd the entire time.  Definitely a kick-ass performance.  Can’t wait until you start doing live PA.  Aktif, as always, FUCKING BONKERS.  I absolutely love having you on the decks — not only is your track selection and mixing pristine, but you seriously bring out the stompin’ hot business in everyone.  If that makes sense.  Primordial Ooze absolutely blew my mind.  I was so glad that this event was easy for me to work to the point that i actually got to be on the dance floor the majority of the time for your set.  You guys are definitely my regional favorite.  100% badass.  Ascension, you’ve come a long way too.  Your set really captivated a lot of people that were there.  When I was talking to people there, they found it very hard to believe that you’ve only been playing for 6 months.  Keep it up man.  You’re on the right track for sure.  Abe, Chris, and Nick: Stellar performance.  I am very glad that it worked out for you guys to play together.  We were unsure of how late we were going to be able to have the music go since I had never done an event there, and I think that all ended very well.  You guys have so much energy on stage and you really kept the few who were still dancing going until the bitter end.  I am looking forward to working with you guys again in the future.

The second room:  I think that the compatibility between industrial and psy still remains to be seen, or at least clarified a bit.  The industrial room didn’t have nearly as many people as the psy room did, and it’s impossible to attribute that to the industrial scene supporting the event or the format of it.  There were a LOT of people there that i know of personally who are not into the psy scene and are the "industrial" crowd that actually stayed in the psytrance room the entire time.  What I think is that a lot of people came for the industrial and stayed for the psytrance, which is what I was hoping for from the get-go.  In that sense, I think we turned a lot of good people on to this scene –  All in all, the people who are from the industrial crowd were just as easy to work with as the trancers were.  I think that in the future, we should attempt a budget for the industrial room to book a headliner or two (suggestions please) and see how that goes.  The people who are into the industrial genre seem to have a very tight connection with their music much like we do.  In my experience DJing at The Smoker’s Den, the industrial crowd always seems to thoroughly enjoy psytrance over any sort of electronic music.  Converting the room to psychill at 5am was too late.  If we do the cross-genre event format in the future, we will likely end the industrial around 2 or 3 am and give much more time devoted to chill out.  

vending:  Thank you, Scott!  I regret that we couldn;t have a hookah bar at this one, but if we do this again at this venue when the weather is a little warmer, we will have something set up in the outdoor area where the smoker’s gathered.  I think that would work out great.  As always The Smoker’s Den did a fantastic job, and it was extremely beneficial to have their staff present.  

Attendees: WOW!  The group that attended was so easy-going, friendly, enthusiastic.  There was so much energy everywhere.  Thank you to most everyone for being respectful of the smoking policy, the front door being closed after midnight, and for overall being well behaved.  There was no incidents worth mentioning.  We didn’t have to reject entry to anyone, nor did we have to make anyone leave.  The party officially sold out, too.  It was so great seeing everyone again having such a good time - old faces and new.  Thanks so much for everyone’s help with the cleanup too!  It was a breeze.  It was because of everyone there and how well everyone handled themselves that really makes me love what I do.  As a promoter, my responsibilities only go so far - the rest of how an event goes and is made up is directly related to those that attend.  I personally attribute the crowd’s behavior / energy to more than 70% of how an event is made up.  You all deserve a round of applause.  Together we are unstoppable. 

I have very few complaints.  The only one that is even worth mentioning is GLASS BOTTLES.  I sincerely hope and appreciate that everyone will hold this policy in high regard next time around.  I think that this policy should be respected with any and every party too — not just mine.  

Thanks so much again to everyone.  As the "head" of this event, I can easily say that this was the most laid-back and easiest event I have ever put on.  

That’s all I’ve got, folks.  The sequel is already in the works, and I am hoping to announce details by the end of this week.

See you next time.  

Still recovering and decompressing. Heh — got some pics posted in the gallery - be sure to check them out. Full review pending - Thanks again for everyone’s support with this event.

Thanks go out to everyone who purchased a pre-sale and supports this event!

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone out tonight!
