in light of ruined new years parties and other past events, who would you say is responsible for what aspects of a party? i think: - when promoting a party, promoters should always say WHO is throwing the party, and have contact info readily available - patrons should not trust promotional flyers, message boards, and word of mouth. they should verify either through call or printed documentation (can be flyers) from the persons throwing the party: NOT the promoters - we all need to have better communication with each other. most people don't mean to shorthand anyone, but the few who do use everyone below them in the hierarchy tree, and that leaves many people pissed off at the person who they had contact with many people recently had problems with another party a month or so ago, the people promoting it, and the people who threw it. fingers were pointed everywhere. ultimately, the promoters may not have been responsible for things gone wrong, but their reputations are tarnished because they misinformed, misguided, deceived, or withheld warranted information from the exact people who supported them i'm not pointing fingers at ANYONE here. i have some great friends in various positions in the industry and it's obvious that everyone gets more jerking around than they deserve. i'm just wondering what do other people think about who is responsible for what
