ok. first off, the venue was NOT packed. it was close, but there was PLENTY of room to dance. I for one did not dance, but if I am paying 35 bux, its my own damn business if I want to dance, stand or lay down and take a damn nap. I personally don't gawk at musicians because I know how annoying it is to be them, with people standing around staring at your gear. a lot of people seem to forget that the DJ is not the party, they only augment the gathering of people with music in which the collective share common taste.
I for one was wondering why the venue was NOT packed... probably had something to do with the detroit police that were standing by. :\ anyone who saw aphex twin in pontiac in um, '97 would know what I am using as a reference point when speaking of packed venues... no flames plz </rant> -Joe ---------------------------------------------------------------------- R17 is not a fixed velocity, but it is clearly far too fast. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "TJ Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Paul Jenvey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 8:23 PM Subject: Re: [313] agents of change > Please don't tell me that you were that guy!
