October 28th
Doors open 8pm till 3am
The Rabbit Hole has proven itself to be the best EDM event in SWFL, and it does so by providing three simple things...
--- Quality DJ's, Sound, and Lighting
--- Reasonable cover charge
--- Parties DO NOT get shut down
Oh yeah, I forgot... there is a fourth element... the Rabbit Hole has JACK !!! For those who don't know or never met JACK "THE RAVE RABBIT" then this is your time to come meet him. He is the face of the Rabbit Hole series, and continues to become ever so popular with the SWFL EDM scene.
Ofcourse, without the support of the local EDM scene, there would be no Rabbit Hole, no JACK, no fun. After speaking with JACK himself about his upcoming party, I am convinced that this party will exceeds everyone's expectations.
So many readers of my blog have asked me to ask JC questions about the upcoming Rabbit Hole, so below is my interview with JC....
TELSO: So right off the bat, are you as optimistic and excited about the upcoming Rabbit Hole (RH)??
JC: Ofcourse. We are working hard to make this Halloween memorable.
TELSO: Memorable? So what tricks or treats do you have in your bag?
JC: (laughs) A lot. The treats are the awesome DJ's, VJ's, dancers, psycho clowns, lazers and top notch sound. The tricks... (laughs)... I don't want to spoil the surprise.
TELSO: I thought we were tight!? Just kidding. I'll let you off the hook on that one. So my next question is... that we all know where you want to take the fans to at the Rabbit Hole, but where do you see the RH taking you?
JC: The RH started strictly as a FUN & DRUG FREE project (and I intend to keep it that way) that I had in mind for may years but, because of the demands of my business I had been postponing it year after year waiting for the right time to execute the idea. As long as it's fun, I plan on continuing it indefinitely. All I ever wanted out of the RH are the awesome friendships that have come out of it and the people that surround the event. It's awesome to see so many people so grateful for it and showing true love and support for a professionally planned event.
TELSO: Throwing parties at this scale costs a lot of effort, risk, and money... what motivates you to keep throwing them? In other words... what's in it for you?
JC: Well' reverting back to the prior answer, I'd say that's the main reason for wanting to do them again and again. The love and friendships created in the process. The time it demands in order to deliver a well structured event is the number one obstacle in this equation. The cost would be the second obstacle but as long as we keep on getting the support of the fans and the understanding on their part that to deliver this kind of product is costly and the admission is as low as possible to cover the operation I think we'll be able to continue improving with each RH.
TELSO: Ever since inception of the RH, every Tom, Dick , and Harry wants to imitate your success. What makes the RH stand out in your opinion?
JC: I couldn't attribute it's success to one single reason. I rather think it is the energy and love we put into making it happen and the awesome people that constantly and unconditionally show their support.
TELSO: Everyone has been sending me emails, text messages, and phone calls to ask you who "JACK" really is. So the million dollar question, who is "JACK" ??
JC: Hummm, all I can say is that the Modasucka really knows how to throw a party. Next question pls....
TELSO: Wait, c'mon !! You holding out JC.
JC: I plea the 5th (laughs)
TELSO: Damn. Anyways... In one short sentence, what is one message you send to upcoming promoters that wish to throw events like the RH?
JC: Unfortunately there's no short answer to this question. I can only make one distinction and advise accordingly. A promoter is the person that takes care of making sure the event is out there for the for public review. He is hired by the person that owns the event to promote it. You never see Rusty promoting UMF do you?
TELSO: Fuck no... (laughs)... isn't that what promoters are suppose to be doing??
JC: Exactly... I think there's a misunderstanding on what a promoter's job is in some areas. In a small market like this it all seems to blend into the same pot. If you choose to promote your own event please do so in a professional way and deliver what you promise. This can only be done with the help of some self education on the product you want to sell.
TELSO: As a DJ that has thrown my own events, I can definitely attest to that. As a matter of fact, this blog started because of the surplus of events that lacked proper execution, marketing, and false hype... So I created a place where people can get objective, real-talk, and up-to-date info on what shows rock and which shows flop. But I digress... so what message would you have to the DJ's?
JC: (eyebrows rise, kicks back in the chair) Uff.... That's another impossibly short answer. All I can say is that DJ'ing is an art and in its purest form it's a trade far away from today's conventional beliefs as to what a DJ is.
TELSO: Interesting. Can you elaborate on that?
JC: For example, you may be a silver screen fan (aka movie goer) and love your movies but.... That doesn't make you an actor... does it? Same thing applies to people out there who are trying to be DJ's. Please reevaluate your abilities and priorities before deciding you can dj. Anyone can play music, very few can DJ.
TELSO: Now that's real-talk. It's not just SWFL, but all across the map there are so many people getting into the world of DJ'ing because of the glamour of being on stage, getting a shit load of groupies, the parties, the party-favors (for some, not all), and the for the love of music. I mean, although to some extent that is true, those are the perks, it shouldn't be the only thing that leads you into this "career" -- which is mainly about doing a lot of research on music, networking with other industry heads, SUPPORTING OTHER DJ's, attending seminars/workshops (like WMC), and genuinely in love with the music. If music was a chick, I'd bang her all day/night.
JC: (laughs)
TELSO: Alright, well thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer some of the questions that people are curious about. Good luck on your upcoming show, I am sure it will be a smashing success.
JC: Thank you for the love and support. We do this for the love of the fans, music, and we are all about the P.L.U.R.
