is there any reason to send out an email alert, put up online flyers, and hand out postcards to tens of thousands of people at the DEMF for a party where the capacity was all of 400? despite being in line by 10:30 p.m. and freezing our asses off, we still didn't get into jak by 1:30 a.m. and went home sorely disappointed. later we heard rich didn't even go on till 3 a.m. guess we should have showed up at around 7 a.m. after the line had died down - or did it, ever? - and caught the last couple of hours of the event.
i'm used to a much more professionally run event from the m-nus/plus 8 crew. i've been to richie parties in detroit where the capacity was only 100 or 200 and there was always at least some staff member letting people know the situation as far as when doors would open, how many people would get in, etc. at jak, there was no communication between the people at the door and the crowd. only when a friend forced her way through the throngs and asked for more info did we learn there was basically no way we'd ever get in. next time, guys, how about a little communication and a little less hype? the people at the party had a fantastic time, i'm sure, but i know there were at least four times as many people who left the dismal parking lot thinking, "damn, that richie hawtin sure has an ego." brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
