Guest pod Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Not really. Some of the best guys in town did their homework and promoted their small events properly the first time out. "First time" isn't a legit excuse when there's a wealth of resources at your disposal on how to do it properly.Myles, what constitutes a crap event is anything you throw. Just kidding. ;DBut seriously, what I'm getting at is there's a lot of substandard events in town these days. I shouldn't bash them though, because without crap, how would anyone know what is good? Contrast is needed. How would we know light is light without the dark? What is the sound of one hand clapping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't bash them though, because without crap, how would anyone know what is good? Contrast is needed. How would we know light is light without the dark? What is the sound of one hand clapping?I hear ya, but what do you consider crap? venue, music, crowd. Good and bad clubs/nights is totally subjective imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Like good parties, bad parties are combination of things, some subjective, some not. For me, a bad party is the opposite of what I consider a good party. I consider a good party to be a combination of a well-taken-care of venue with great sound and lighting reinforcement, a happy, well-conducted crowd socializing and interacting, and musically, a DJ playing dance music, whether it be mainstream or not.

Guest spinderella7713 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I see. so if someone thows a bbq are they responsible for the food and alcohol....cause that would be pretty expensive, there are alot of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Nope. The deal has always been you bring something to donate to the pile. I'd say no item or group of items over $20-$30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Seb Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I see. so if someone thows a bbq are they responsible for the food and alcohol....cause that would be pretty expensive, there are alot of us.usually everyone would be assigned to bring something with them. Last few times we have had a list of items that each person would be responsible for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spinderella7713 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 i was just told that the last cj party had 200+ people and 20 djs......what central location can hold that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I'm kicking this around some, will get back to you with my suggestions in a bit. 200 was a bit of an extreme. I would say never more than 70 or 80 max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Diaga Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 This Board is no longer about the Clubbers its about the Promoters.I agree, lots of things have change since I joined the forums back in 2003 after the spin off. for me personaly it was more fun back then. There are some many people that dont post here anymore and some of then got banned that made what i called the good days of CJ forums.

Guest AlanS Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I'd check first with any of the parks / cabins. When I called around for organizing these types of things a couple years ago, the first thing out of their mouth would be "No DJs!" Not that I haven't seen it happen, just sayin.Flip always has the big one right at the beginning of Feb, but haven't heard a thing yet.

Guest colione98 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 This Board is no longer about the Clubbers its about the Promoters.Well' date=' perhaps reason being is that the promoters have taken advantage of that the clubbers themselves have not been producing... Both should be contributing where as promoters do their little adverstising and the clubbers [b']review, spit drama and generate roll calls...Or maybe individuals got tired of being harrassed once they posted what was to be an opinion turned supposed fact....Quite of few to my knowledge refuse to post due to the lack of maturity on some posters' part and are afraid to get flammed or whatever the word is used...And lastly, this chatter about how reviews have gotten old and nobody reads them is like how quite a few event managers have realized this and themselves post flyers and post in the areas that they are knowledgeble in...You know how many event managers and club owners read cool junkie? A lot....I don't care how old and sorry a review is... A club like space gets promoted every week 2-3 times at that... Same club, same scene, same djs, same vibe, week in and week out... But only a review will allow others from the (outside of this cool junkie circle) to perhaps allow for their choosing... Some review better the others but atleast the contribution is there to keep this forum what it is to be; a blend of aspects of a clubbers experience.....There are a lot of individuals that may not post or even sign up but check in on a weekly basis to see what is ahead or what they have missed...A post is one posters's opion at times factual which makes he/she simply that, a cool junkie poster.... Minus the moderators ;D Drama is great,Competetion is great,Reviews are great,Promoting is great.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted January 25 Author Report Share Posted January 25 love how this is now a bbq thread.......... leo's churrasco...lee's rum cake and jackie's shish kabob ( i think ) is a neceessity we need one when jacyln in town ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest colione98 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 You want one, plan it. It's up to you guys to generate the threads and so forth. Frankly, the issue is that most stuff tends to blend into each other. "Reviews" end up the same way...so and so rocked, etc. Lurkers aren't gonna post if that's all they see.Ok- so promoting, drama, roll calls and talk about the lastest acts, or which club is opening up and or closing is any way different? A lurker is exactly that! How is a lurker going to post and contribute to the above mentioned from across the country looking for a venue to party upon their next arrival?And as a chief moderator, I would think that you would be a bit more encourgaing..Not trying to get on your bad side POD while keeping it on a professional level......

Guest lulamishka Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 love how this is now a bbq thread.......... leo's churrasco...lee's rum cake and jackie's shish kabob ( i think ) is a neceessity we need one when jacyln in town ;DBling, Leo doesn't post anymore [that I'm aware of]. I wouldn't realistically expect him to want to cook for a CJ BBQ. If he does by some chance, great, but I wouldn't start reminiscing and wanting the BBQs of old. CJ is not the same as it was 1-2 years ago.And for for Fliptoniaaa... Flip rarely comes around these parts anymore either. So I wouldn't start hoping they'll offer up their place again.I've got nothin' but love for both of them, but I'm just being honest & realistic here.

Guest coach Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Actually, I totally disagree about people not wanting reviews. The reviews were one of the main reasons I joined CJ initially. That and the event listings. I didn't give 2 fucks about the drama or the politics, what I wanted to know was where the good parties were. I still do. I miss the reviews. We need way more. They are particularly good for appealing to the newbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mayor Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I am hearby offering up Gryphon for the DJ spinoff you guys want - it its yoursand there is a bbq place called Renegades down the way ;DYes they found a dead body there last week - but thats part of the fun of bbq'sAnd about cooljunkie dying out - I have met some of you guys in the last year through cooljunkie including Bling, Colione, and a handful more.We are all on here for a reason Let it be a promoter, manager, bartender, waitress patron or owner - alot of people that I know do read these boards and actually take the information and decide how and what they want to do with it.When I started reading cooljunkie it took me a while to get the balls enough to post There are alot of intelligent people on here, but also people that are clueless in what works and what doesnt in different realms of this businessSome people can take information, use it and make their own interpretation and decide what to do with that infoThat can go both ways where you can learn from the mistakes and failures and use it to your advantage for the next big thingThis board is useful...This board has an ability to speak your mind and give your opinion in a way that you can speak to the industry and the people in it and shine or look like a total momokeep it coming...
