I have to agree. If you put enough pretty colors on a monster flyer. you could throw a giant 10,000 head techno only party (as long as you have one room full of ferngully 303 preset hell and kick drums over pop synth riff remixes), while trying to do a techno based format for big people clubs has been an utter pain in the ass. We lost our space for our club out here for bullshit reasons and had to cancel a show we had planned with Bone and T-1000 (our former night is now an esdjco overly typical suck ass disco house night). The most unfortunate thing about it all is that no one really wants to lose the money it cost to fly and house one of our detroit heros out here to play for 200 kids and lose your ass. The only draws that'll get you more than 1000 heads are May and Ritchie go figure. I've contemplated going the route of LA and get some corporate sponsors and throw a giant show with Mills but, the sad and hideous state of affairs would be that no one would show up unless I booked Dickweed and Terry Mullan (or other $4000+ Rave circuit players) to get anyone to show up. It sucks that the only way to hear the music you love is to be the jackass who loses his rent money. Fuck it I've moving to Australia.
