HOW TO PAINT FAILURE

DAYGLOW AFTER PARTY @ ALE MARY'S, Sept. 16th, 2011

<rant>

First and foremost, my sincerest apologies to those came out to support me last night at ALE MARY's and for the unfortunate violence that took place against our lovely friend Chani and her crew.

Words cannot describe the level of disappointment, disgust, resentment, and sadness that I experienced last night. So before the bullshit rumors start flowing, I am going to step up to the plate, and call it how it really is.

Before I begin, let me get something straight off my chest....


LES BANK$ is a fucking a$$hole...


.... and here is why....


#1 -- He is the one who threw the ALE MARY's party, and turned around BEHIND all our backs and went to OLYMPIA to DJ.... go ahead, take a moment to digest that one.

#2 -- Not only does he abandon his own party, but he leaves US the DJ's to resolve UNPAID security, staff, etc. We are DJ's, our job is to play GREAT music, not handle your UNPAID bills asshole !!!

#3 -- Some mass text "ANONYMOUSLY" goes out undermining the ALE MARY's party, saying that our shit was going to get shutdown, and people just split and headed to OLYMPIA.

NOW.... throughout this entire 3 hours of hell, not ONCE did LES call or text me back a fucking message to let me and the rest of us know what the fuck is going on. But I put two in two together, and realized that LES figured out that he was not going to make his money at ALE MARY's and took the only parachute in the burning plane and jumped out grinning.

Well, I got news for LES and every other asshole who aspires to become a DJ or Promoter in this town...

"IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO SHIT, DO IT RIGHT, PAY YOUR DJ'S, AND MAN UP WHEN YOU FUCK UP. Shitty promoting, undercutting, undermining, compulsive lying, back-stabbing, non-paying, self-absorbed, egotistical, irresponsible, unloyal, and deceiving tactics are just a few words that do not come close to describing how poisonous LES and other recent cluster fuck promoters are to any EDM scene, especially our growing SWFL scene"

#4 -- Lastly, my thoughts and prayers go out to Chani and her friends who reportedly got jumped in the parking lot while waiting for ALE MARY's to open up. Chani and her friends have been extremely instrumental in building the SWFL scene from the grassroots. HAD THERE BEEN PROPER SECURITY AND BETTER PLANNING, shit like this would have never happend !!!


~*~*~*~


So by now my blood is boiling, I went to OLYMPIA and only to be greeted by the man himself... LES BANKS with a "FUCK YOU, GET OUT MY FACE, AND GET OFF THE PROPERTY" warm welcoming.... guilty conscience, EH??

And after several minutes of him trying to convince me of his lies, I gave him a nice warm slice of reality about how much damage he is causing to the scene, the dj's, the fans with his bullshit events and cut-throat tactics.

Quick history lesson.... I have been NOTHING SHORT of a good friend to LES, I never let him down, always gave my honest opinion, I always came to support and DJ at his parties (AND NEVER SEEN A DIME), and always been a person he could trust, whenever he was a bind I would go out of my way to help him -- and I did that all in good faith that he would show the love back and respect me at the very least...

Apparently that was too much to ask for from him...

But when you think matters couldn't get even more fucked up, he turns around and throw MIKE ZINK under the bus saying that HE was put in charge and that MIKE... and i quote...

"It's all my fault that I put MIKE's stupid druken ass in charge of anything last night.  I should have known better than to leave and idiot in charge" 

WOW.... What are friends for??  I can only imagine how much shit is being said behind my back, and I am virtually no one to LES.

But LES eventually gave me a half ass apology last night for his "lack of proper management" but the truth is, it goes beyond "management" he trampled over so many basic principles, values, friendships, and professional code of ethics that every time I think of last night, my stomach turns.

If you are one of the "skeptics" and do not believe that all this shit went down, then ask yourself one question... why would he apologize for "the issues" last night then? (see below)

It's moments like these, that really makes me want to just give up on building a scene out here... but honestly, had it not been for the RabbitHoles, the Reality Checks, the official DAYGLOW (willie beamin), and other awesome events that were well nurtered by experienced promoters, I would have just given up on SWFL and moved back to the other coast. 

However, it's the expressions on the faces of the fans, the memories, the pictures, videos, and friendships that are formed at these events that honestly keep me spinning my records... because i guarantee you that it isn't for the money or the fame.

So thank YOU, the fans, for your love and support !!!

REALITY AFTER REALITY CHECK, YEP... AGAIN !!!!



          

              

Once again, JC PRODUCTIONS and the REALITY CHECK crew have pulled off yet another successfull show.  The amount of attention paid to the details were completely unreal this time, and given the circumstances that they had to switch locations last minute due to recent bad weather which essentially flooded the last ranch, these guys did an amazing job to make the experience for the fans amazing and drama-free.

My hat (or should i say headphones!?) goes off to Brad and Rob, who overcame some real hurdles to make this party happen.  I say that as a friend, but also as one professional to another.  This scene has seen its fair share of fucked up promoting and bullshit shows... but these two guys are going to make big things happen here in SWFL, and hopefully grow beyond this area code !!!

This show evolved from a one room show to a two room extravaganza, with full sound and lighting in BOTH rooms, and this ranch also included a small pool, bonfire, and plenty of chill areas for people to vibe out in.  It's no wonder that every person I talked to that night had a fucking blast :-)

But last but definitely NOT least.... the DJ's that played this show (including myself -- hehehe) were nothing short of HOLYFUCKINGSHITWTF... and despite all the awesome shit mentioned above, this is truly what made the night extremely special, was the grade-A DJ's that kept the floor moving all night without a single fucking hitch.

So for those who had no idea what EDM was all about, or went to other shows in town or abroad, or even the haters who wrote all over facebook that we were going to get shutdown.... well, you all got a REALITY CHECK... again.

Oh yeah, and one more thing... I bumped in the our furry friend JACK "THE RAVE RABBIT" and he said to keep on the lookout for the next RABBIT HOLE... the only hint he would give me is... "that its coming real soon, and it will be so good -- it will be scary?? I got some speculation, but I will surely keep all you EDM heads updated as soon as I hear from the party rabbit himself !!!vv
