glowsticks Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Yeah. I was supposed to go there but my boys dicked me once again. they ended up goin to some bullshit catering hall in the bronx, nevertheless I didnt shell out the cash and ended up at house parties. Let me stop my rambling, anyone know how it was, heard there were suppossed to be a ton of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armada Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 I think you are lucky you didn't go. I was hoping that others would respond with positive experiences to show me that I had missed something. Anyway, here's what I wrote to the promoters:Not sure exactly who you are but you were the contact listed at NYBALLDROP.com.I was one of the all too many people that attended your New Years Eve debacleat the 200 Fifth Club.On behalf of the 10 people in my group that you shafted for $120 each, I wantto express my disappointment and shock at your highly amateur attempt tothrow a party and your majorly successful attempt at ripping a bunch ofpeople off and ruining a night that many look forward to.I could go through your points of failure in detail but I will instead justlist them briefly:1. 2 bartenders that were messed up beyond belief either on the beveragesthey were supposed to be serving or some illicit drugs, supplier unknown, pertoo few bars to accomodate the number of people that you were ripping off.2. Too few bathrooms to comfortably accomodate the people you were continuingto rip off.3. DJs with a limited amount of musical taste, talent and/or repertoireavailable to them.4. Was the continuous setting up of the lights throughout the night a featureof the party or are you THAT bad at doing this?5. Substandard security (bouncers?) who seemed more interested in staying outof the way than helping anyone that might need it or keeping control of thepeople you were ripping off.6. And of course, those geniuses you had at the coat check. I enjoyed the 2hour wait to get 3 of 4 coats back that my group originally checked. Ohyeah, I went and got the coats myself because your people made such a mess ofit that even the NYPD couldn't straighten the shit out.Overall, great job!!! Right!! Have you ever done this before? From the wayyour event went, I would say not. No big deal. Just promote it as anamateur endeavor and don't charge people. Maybe you can get your feet wetand learn from your mistakes and at some point be able to entertain a realevent.Please let me know who I can provide my address too so I can get the $240that you extorted from me for my girlfriend and myself to enter this rip-offamateur attempt at a New Year's event mailed back to me.I was thinking of having a Super Bowl Party for about 500 people at my 1700square foot apartment. I was going to get a case of beer for everyone and Ihave a 13 inch black and white t.v. for everyone to watch the game on. Soundgood? Feel free to stop by. Oh yeah, we have exactly as many bathrooms asyou guys did!!Have a great New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessyro Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 I totally agree with you!!! I think all of us got scammed and screwed by the party promoters. My boyfriend and I were so excited to go to what we thought we be a great party in a fun place. Little did we know it was going to take a half hour of getting pushed around by overgrown frat boys waving 50 dollar bills to get a drink. In addition, it would have been nice to have a place to sit while eating, instead of having to balance plates. As for the bathrooms, instead of waiting on the endless line, I just decided to go home. It was quicker than waiting on line. What a dissapointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowsticks Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Thanx for the info...looks like my boys made the RIGHT choice for once. Sorry your new years ended out being so shitty. I should have know these guys were amateurs when they told me to meet them on the corner of 81 and 2nd ave to get the tickets if I want them and he sounded mad shaddy on the phone. If i would have know it would have been so shitty i would have invited you guys to the house parties i attended...they were inneed of a couple of cute girls. But the only upside was the candy dish full of pills...omg..Hope 2001 is better than 2000 to ya... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
