 Vikram,
 
 First of all let me tell you that I don't Yell at anyone. I very
 casually asked this question like any other member would ask to his
 close friend.
 
 It was not any kind of Interrogation either (as you felt so). 
 
 So plz. mind your language, especially when you correspond in a 
public
 forum.

As with most list disputes this one seems to centre on a matter of 
tone. I certainly did find your tone, as I have found your tone in 
past mails as rather abrasive and demanding. Perhaps I'm wrong or 
perhaps that's just the way you normally communicate - apologies if I 
read too much into it. 

 And what makes you say that 'Guys Like Me take GB parties for 
granted'
 

I do think this does happen particularly on the part of people who 
did not experience the party scene before GB started organising its 
parties or haven't lived outside Bombay or Delhi and seen what its 
like without an organisation like GB to organise events. 

Please note I don't make any claim that GB parties are that 
wonderful. I've personally long got bored with them, but I still help 
organise them for the benefit of the community (more precisely, to 
support Dee who does all the real organising). The GB parties are 
organised by a small bunch of guys who have other commitments on 
their time, so they are the best we can organise in the time we have 
and the spaces that become available for us. 

We don't expect lavish gratitude for this, but we would like people 
to recognise that these aren't quite the same as professionally 
organised parties. These are community parties, organised by and for 
members of the community, and some appreciation of this would be 
nice. We welcome suggestions and constructive criticism, but not 
demands and your mails do have a tendency to come out out sounding 
like that. 

 When any such GB parties are arranged, do you arrange them for
 charity? Or rather let me ask you whether you throw  such parties to
 the entire community out of your own pocket? Certainly not. 

I don't quite know what you're asking here, but I can say that none 
of the GB organisers benefits personally from the parties. We don't 
even get in free, since we all pay the full price. The parties are 
charged at the rate the club charges us or sometimes there is a small 
margin added on which goes to fund the film festivals and other GB 
events, plus acts as a buffer for when parties fall short of minimum 
numbers - our deal with clubs is that we guarantee them a minimum 
number of people and compensate them if this falls short, so believe 
me we are very interested in plenty of people coming! 

 Also when anyone comes to attend these parties, he or she pays for 
it,
 as nothing comes for free in this world.

Nothing comes free, but things can come more expensive. Hop across to 
Delhi and see the sort of price gouging that happens for commercially 
organised farmhouse parties over there. 

 Many of us too actively participate in most of the GB events. And I
 feel we have every right to know about the factor that caused the
 change to our normal routine of having GB parties...Its as simple as
 that...
 
 And rather than creating such a silly dispute, you should have
 courteously informed everyone about the reason for changing the day
 for this event.

As we would have done if we had known in advance that the party would 
be shut down. But if you've been reading the papers you would have 
seen that the Velocity shut down was part of a city wide crack down 
on pubs and that none of them knew in advance. So it would have been 
a little difficult to inform people in advance. We did give an 
explanation the day after.

Re: g_b Abrupt end to GB party at Velocity on 2nd Feb-Message for vikram

2006-02-10 Thread walnutgoat69

Vikram,

First of all let me tell you that I don't Yell at anyone. I very
casually asked this question like any other member would ask to his
close friend.

It was not any kind of Interrogation either (as you felt so). 

So plz. mind your language, especially when you correspond in a public
forum.

Secondly, the sudden change in the party day really came up as a
surprise so I thought of putting this question across.

And what makes you say that 'Guys Like Me take GB parties for granted'

Plz. note that it's only when more and more people come to GB parties,
the party becomes more n more enjoyable and fun filled experience.

What's there to be taken for granted here :-)) I really don't
understand your psychology.

When any such GB parties are arranged, do you arrange them for
charity? Or rather let me ask you whether you throw  such parties to
the entire community out of your own pocket? Certainly not. 

People (Including you) come to enjoy during such event, some even make
money from such parties (either they sell themselves or they sell
tickets)...so I really don' understand...what made you say that 'I
take such parties for granted'?

Also when anyone comes to attend these parties, he or she pays for it,
as nothing comes for free in this world.

So lets not argue on what I feel and what I don't...take things
lightly dude...
And if you are really geared up for fighting then go to Kargilour
Indian Army needs people like you :-))

Many of us too actively participate in most of the GB events. And I
feel we have every right to know about the factor that caused the
change to our normal routine of having GB parties...Its as simple as
that...

And rather than creating such a silly dispute, you should have
courteously informed everyone about the reason for changing the day
for this event.

Stop taking things personally here.

With Luv
Walnut
