*lurk lurk lurk lurk* Hi all.

Hello hello everyone. I'll be in there somewhere

How much are tickets at the door and in advance for Buzz this Friday?

Better late than never. Happy b-day eggmok.

I'm programmer in Tysons and living in silver spring. What happened to the popcorn guy?

I went to the foam party. I only went thru it once and I was done. One of the foam machines wasn't pumping out as much as the others. My friend got sick tho. Accidentally swallowed some of the stuff. Anyone go to the previous foam party and see this couple getting it on in the foam? Very interesting.

I'm going to Honeydew tonight. Just bought 3 tickets from ticketmaster...greedy sobs. 30 bucks at the door which is like $1 more or so from ticketmaster including all those charges they heap on. Sorry I haven't met up with you guys since 5 waaaaaay back. Eggmok...just do your throw the glowstick in the air and catch it with your neck and I'll find you Hahaha. I'll be heading in around 1 am. See everyone there. I'm usually in the main room back wall in the middle. ta-ta

I went to the street and it was packed. I didn't go because they charged 60 bucks to step on that block. Lots of ppl just chilled on the street.

I've tried mixmeister and its work really well.

Nations tonight!!

*sigh*...rain rain go away, please come back another day, preferrably not on a friday and a saturday. My last assignement ended yesterday so I'm a bench warmer until something comes along. Sigh...so I'm even more bored now than when I had a project to work on.

Sounds good to me

Ugh...they spelled my first name wrong. Chopped off the other half. Got me list as Mar instead of Marcus. Still looking forward to tomorrow. Like I'm about to explode or just some excuse to use this smiley.

Woohoo. Apparently I won a free ticket to Buzz this Friday through a contest at www.dcnites.com. They said they are having a foam party. This is going to be itneresting. Buzz friday everyone???

Nations tonight?!? Where's everyone going to be?

Hmmm...I dunno about promoters. Well I guess I'm a dumbass about who is a promoter. Are we talking about the guys who email you begging you to come to the party and then snub you when you actually get there? Or are we talking the whole production sponsoring the event? If the first, I personally don't like them. Unless I had boobies I wouldn't be able to get on list or cut to the front of the line. My worst experience is probably when Element had their grand opening last year in February. I went with a group of 3 guys and 4 girls and they hand picked people they wanted in which of course we're the girls. So that's a pisser. I don't like it when promoters hire college/high school henchman and actually call me up to see if I want list. I already get the email. Basically I think they are kinda snotty and full of themselves. A powertrip cause they can get you in free or not or just bar you from coming in at all. I could be wrong though. Promoters can be nice warm fuzzy people. As long as you got the right *ahem* equipment.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/acovwed.htm Here's the link to the article.

http://www.yo-yo.com/glasslab/bigvids/tglphotons.mpg It's a huge download that's about 12 megs but a very entertaining solo light show with some guy with photons.

Hmmm. Well I notice a lot of productions in here do try to get *everyone* to come to a specific night. Hence 3 different types of music played in one night in one room. I've been to Platinum where it started off with whatever the hell Z104 plays for 2 hours(top 40 music straight from the CD), then switch to a DJ who plays Dance, NRG(the music I like to dance to), then go 180, switch to another DJ to play Hip-Hop/R&B for another hour or so and end the night with either more Hip Hop, Dance or some House. I think that's the appeal of Buzz because it's consistent and you know what crowd is coming and staying. Then there are places like Insomnia aka Element that started off nice just playing all dance I think with some Hip Hop but moved that to the 2nd floor. They attracted a lot of kiddies tho. I define kiddies as under 18(despite what you're fake beaten up tattered ID says). Some of their mistakes were with the decor. The stage was good but after a while they didn't let anyone dance on the stage and now it's more of those foam things in the ceilings. They also need like places to sit down and drink without having to reserve a table and do this VIP thing like they do. The Cage was probably the best club I've been to. Main floor was dance and bottom was hip/hop(always empty by the way). But the neighborhood was shady and parking was impossible. The main floor had a lot of dancing room and air condition was good. Was there a coat check there? I don't remember but coat check would have been nice cuz I remember going when it rained and I was soaked. The lights were decent for it's size. *whew takes a deep breath* My two cents. I could be very wrong. I also don't think DC has the critical mass to pack the number of clubs we have. Hmmm...did I stray from the topic? I'll see after I post this and read the question again. *Added* Ok read the last question. I am probably not a raver or club kid. Most likely the Yuppie guy who likes the commericially dance songs --> Alice DJ, Aqua, Amber,Imperio, Alexia Phiilips. High NRG songs with words, ya know? I admit some you just can't dance to but they're great to listen to. I would like more music like Darude's Sandstorm or Cosmic Gate's Exploration of Space EXCEPT that those songs are SOOOO played out. I can live with a few more playings of Exploration of Space sticking around but Sandstorm has got to stop. Anyone else agree(slightly) or did I just invite a firestorm and ostricized myself?

True that the focus should be on illegal drug trafficking but the angle is all about E in addition to the usuaul crack, MJ and whatever gets imported. Just like cocaine was basically plastered all over the place in its heyday so is E these days. I don't think they said E was a drug that made you violent but all the logistics involved from getting it from the lab into your hands was escalating into violence. I think that was the point they were trying to make about E. *takes a brain rest* That's my intellectual discussion topic of the day. Back to goofing off.

From what I read from the article was the one guy in VA who was shot. Yeah it was for dealing and not using E, which is the point you're making(right?) but still it's something to think about. I dunno about the roving gangs beating up people and stealing their goods at raves. I haven't seen it but again I don't get out much either.

You sure you don't want to stick around a few days more. NYC huh? Hmmm...anyone thinking of a DC to NYC road trip/meetup sometime?

Semi-interesting article on "E" at www.usatoday.com Basically a drug/turf war and organized crime surrounding 'E'.

Sounds like a plan to me. Haven't been to Nations in a while.

I left around 5 am. Usually I leave around 3am but the red bull kept me going for a few more hours. They really know how to pick your pockets when it comes to drinks. Sigh...need to win the lottery. Anyone else bored at work?
