thats why theres a theme, so hopefully you get the hip hopers that can recognize that and not be so "hard core", its definitely an issue, but there is hip hop at at raves, i believe it was summer love that had it half trance half hip hop both main stage, and that worked it was huge

AT the party, there needs to be a Cupid.
In a full diaper and wings. With some sort of Nerf bow and arrow contraption.
And if you and whomever you are with get hit by Cupid, you get handcuffed together for an hour or something like that. lol. Unless you don't know them and they are all etarded out. No way I'd tolerate being handcuffed to an etard. lol.
Scratch the handcuffs. Just give them candy if they makeout.

HAHA WICKED IDEA! Well kinda.... i mean there has to be some restriction and rejection a loud.

and what about like if you come with a date/partner of the opposite sex you get something.
or if you dress a certain way you get something. (like a free bottle of water or a free 5 mins at the oxygen bar or something)

well someone expand on that... :smoke1:

look at this seattle now is having Ferry Corsten and DJ Rap by her name i haven't check'd i gather she plays rap/hip hop so people are going to go. people will say ya its a rave, but theres hip hop and now know theres one of the biggest dj's playing there, so now the appeal is there.
those who like DJ Rap will see the flyer than look at Ferry Corsten and be like well if he's top DJ and he's the main event along with DJ rap than something must be up. making them more interested in whats to come
oh and there is security so its not like everyones whos dancing alone is gonna get beat up, or stabb'd.....if thats what your somewhat implying

combining it would dilute the ravyness and the hip hop ness alot of people from both groups wouldnt even bother to attend.

cuz hip hopers think ravers are fags, and ravers think hiphoppers are scarey.

i say book dj shadow..kiss last year was dope./

MAJOR ISSUE, you have to appeal to the public who don't want to go, thats your basic flaw, and the hip hoppers/others who may not even know about raves in vancouver and surrounding.

dude theres ALOT of ex ravers in this city, and he dosnt have to work that hard to get them to come out.

OK PEOPLE, the first person who messaged got the point across. as i meant as hip hopers wasnt just hip hopers themselves, everyone it was a broad term as to present the fact that PEOPLE IN general don't know about the Rave scene and what it has to offer........geeeez

the biggest thing.... do something very little or no one has ever done before with plaza. im not quite sure right now, but something new and orginal would be wicked.

as for the chillout room... it could be small and where the log thingys are right next to the theatre room.

I think that a chill room should be attempted sometime, cuz that is one thing that is missing from alot of parties. 'Specially in the interest of people that go sober... it is kinda nice to be able to not have you head pounded by beats for a few mins. (Without having to chill-literally! outside) :)

¤ kissing both is a good idea ... i might be able to get one made up - it'd be out of cardboard maybe some wood - but i'm sure if you want one Dave I could look around. And I could go crazy nuts with decor - I think I might even have some mini cupid's laying around from a v-day party in like grade 8 that could be attatched to the booth.

also - for the kissing both if you could get some local dj's willing to be in the kissing booth you might be able to make some serious $$ out of it to help pay for other things. I know a lot of people would pay to kiss their favorite dreamy dj!!

¤ miska's cupid idea is good. handcuff's might be a litttle sketchy, but i mean if you can find pepople that are willing then maybe it wont be such a bad thing?! i think a candy and a little something else ... like a free ticket to a subevent happening, like the kissing booth. - the kissing booth would cost say like $15000 a turn [im joking] but if you get hit by cupid you could get a free ticket for going to the kissing booth.
there should be two cupid's: a girl and a boy - and if you could find people that were willing and were hot shot dancer's like BEV then sometime throughout they night the could have a dance competion or something. but they'd have to say all dressed up in their cupid costume's. [for costume's if you wanted to get the made by someone that sew's now would be a good time to look for a pattern, as it is a halloween costume and may be on sale!!]

¤ have info booth's set up ... on things that are going on. One thing I'd gladly help organize, or maybe get a hold of someone would be a booth where people could get info on giving blood - it is VALENTINE'S day ... so people could get info on BLOOD!! [ok ok i know i'm really pushing the blood donation's but i know how short on blood they really are - for those of you that don't know since last march i've had over 20 blood transfusions - that's A LOT of blood.]

¤ perhaps you could also get someone in contact with a Planned Parent hood place - They might feel like setting up a booth about safe sex ... it is a rave, it is valentimes, people will be horny, people could have unsafe sex ... OH OH OH!!! Maybe cupid could give you CONDOMS!!!

{shit i should get early more often - my brain wont stop - mind you i'm sure all these idea's aren't easily done or at all do-able}

¤ I know people are probably going to jump on me for this one - but I've heard it before .... Get adertised on Z 95 or The Beat, you're sure to get younger people out if it's on Z'd and the ticket's aren't too expensive.

¤ Maybe get some t-shitr's made up and have some of your "core" people wear them around to events to advertise ... like at other rave's and at club nights ... maybe even a high school dance, college dance's ... pub crawls ...
There are more and more people that I know getting into raving now then ever before ... like a guy I know at UBC ... he's in a frat {sp?} maybe he could get something together at a frat party??
Lots of adervisting is going to be key - and not just at normal spots. Go to malls, have flyer's everywhere. If you want lots of people - lot's of people need to know. Maybe get certain "rave-ish" stores to have a big poster in their store window or something?? I know some store's head office wont allow them, but some store's might allow you too?!

Put add's in the paper's - like the georgia straight, local papers {tri-cities, burnaby} if you really can budget for it, a full page advertisment close to date, in the sun or province might help?!


¤ Free Stuff : not neccesarly from agroculture - but maybe other production companies will want give away free ticket's are your event if you can have some given away at there's?!
Maybe signed dj stuff ... doesn't have to be records, just paper ... how cool would it be to have KISSED your favorite dj, and won their autograph!?!? I'm sure most dj's wont care giving you stuff, maybe they have free cd's ... but they give 'em to you to give to CUPID to give away.

{organizing pep-rally's was fun! anyone wanna KISS A PIG?! seriously at my highschool for one of your pep rally's we had a "kiss a pig" where you put money towards the teacher you wanted to kiss a pig, lol}

Start now ... get some pre-flyer's out. They don't have to be shit hot, but you need to get them out. Maybe a certain # of pre-fyler's could give people free kissing booth kisses or a free thing of water?!? I dunno.

¤ Promo video ... maybe get one of the headliner's voice saying something like "this is dj soandso - where are you going to be for valentine's - I'm going to be at KISS" ??? i dont' know.

But I'm going to stop now ... If you need help with anything ... hey I could flyer when I go to Edmonton, lol. But I'd love to help out .. you'll get to see my decor for Ghettoblaster on saturday - I hope it's good {neverous} so I'm sure I could help out with decor. And depending on how good my sewing skills get by feb, maybe I could even help making the cupid costume{s} if I had someone else's help.


* Allie
