Despite all of that, you still don't seem to give us the respect we deserve. Its ok, because in the near future you will wish you had.

oh, how patronizing of you.

well said money

That being said, why bring up other companies in the past that have done it?

They have their reasons as you have yours.

I dont understand how you can make valid points like this in one thread, and be a complete dumbass in another...

it's a joke to pretend Myles doesnt do as much if not more for promoters as they do for him. this website generates more tickets sales, i would argue, then any other form of promotion. i mean, sure it's a monopoly and it's all we have, but it's run efficiently and effectively with great return for both promoter and web site. your friends/associates, who are also my good homies, would agree. I know this cuz mikey has publicly reminded me of fnk's influence on what we want to achieve through utilizing this site, and he was absolutely, as usual, right.
Secondly, when people use education as a status symbol or for some sort of heicharcy it's positives are lost on the student . education is a privilege and I don’t think one should ever act suppior for having the opportunity to acquire knowledge. as far as i know, your "associates" who are currently in school are of much more privileged backgrounds then those who aren't attending school. that's the reality of life, and cushioned kids with the money to go to school don’t need to look down on those who cant yet afford it or feel especially righteous for having that choice.
You, Brian, didn’t say all of that in your response and I of course do not mean any of this as an attack on you, it’s just something ive felt strongly about for a long time and there was a certain, arrogance, I guess that I found in what you said.

[HyperFunk]

imagine it was YOUR birthday, and all you wanted was to have a party..
then you find out your venue that you have been counting on fucked you over .. thats a shitty deal.. money personally took care of me and i felt very bad for his birthday party falling apart ON his birthday..

i was pissed i didnt get to 2x4 with hirshee, but i think money will make it happen, hopefully at a legal space tho...

[Jeaninah]

Well I'm hoping to see this party go on some time in the near future.. thanks for trying to work it all out money, and even though that party got cancelled it was a still good night! anyhow.. keep trying and don't let all the negative criticism get you down.. the party had a killer line-up (hyperfunk vs. hirshee) Hope to see them battle at the makeup

Umm...I don't know what schools or school kids you've been talking to, but I would have to STRONGLY disagree with this one. Most post-secondary students are poor, economically struggling folk. We survive semester to semester on student loans and by working our butts off in the nights and weekends (or during the day if we have night classes) to pay off the insane tuition rates that our institutions charge. We earned this 'privilege' (although I wouldn't use that term) when we made the grades to be accepted into these schools...after studying hard in order to earn our spots in university.

Sorry, I just had to point that out.

statistically speaking the majority of post secondary students may live close to the poverty line, but they also come from higher economic class families. Upper-middle and higher.

[AGROculture]

Good luck with the make up party! Take your time and everything will be all good! Sorry about what happened on your bday, but hey I respect the fact you still made it out to Tribeca and got some of the dj's spinning

I remember someone calling me and asking for a venue for that day. I knew it was for your party but didn't tell anyone. I wish I could've helped ya but as you know it's so hard to find a venue in Vancouver nowdays

but good luck with your !R-A-V-E!!!!!!!

I agree. I sincerely hope that wasn't a cheap shot at Rick and I. That would be uncalled for. There's a reason why we've been promoting mostly sold out parties successfuly for almost 5 years now even with a few parties messing up. Less than 10 promoters out of 100 or so I could name can claim that in Vancouver. When you pay your dues and figure out the reason why then you can open your mouth, until then shut it

That is true, but then you have to look at all the factors that affect those statistics. For instance, people from extremely low economical households may not be encouraged, or some may not even attempt, to attend post-secondary institutions.

And I am definitely not part of that upper/higher class category, so I had to add my own side of the story... ;)

LOL... Hi, did you not read the part where I said that some of us work weekdays and weekends and attend night classes so that we can make ends meet? In fact, I have 2 (since you seem to care so much).

I like how my parents are still letting me live at home for a cheap rate though. That's one plus that I definitely cannot complain about.

as far as i know, your "associates" who are currently in school are of much more privileged backgrounds then those who aren't attending school.*

read that again , cause i know i was way to drunk to go into the whole issue of whether or not poor kids get the shaft on education, even though i think its obvious that they do.

i was talking about one small particular group of people.

it really doesnt matter much either way because at this more clear n sober hour i know those comments were meant for someone else and not really brian.

[Artifacts]

Still think peeps should have a choice, money or make up party.

[flipmat]

ok, first i think this is the type of stuff that has ruined this scene in vancouver.. Its when things like deposits on venue's and such arent thought about ahead of time and the venue is lost.. If a company wants to throw a party and sells tickets for it then looses the venue, that same company that sold the tickets should go to that venue and refund the money people payed for the party with a sincere apology to everyone that comes...

Its not the partiers fault that the deposit was not payed for... Why should they buy tickets to something and get nothing in return then they can't get their cash back because the organizer fucked up...
--------------------------------------------------------------
btw, everything above this dotted-line was not directed just towards money.

but everything below this solid-line is directed towards him because after buying a ticket and supporting him then being told to leave when i go to his party does not make me happy at all.

Money, I think you need to take a step back sometimes and think about the choices you make. When someone has purchased a ticket to your event, and then because the event the ticket was for did not happen; the ticket holder shows up at the OTHER event you organized on that same night. You should honour your sale. When you ask to see someones ticket that they payed their hard earned money for, you should not let your girlfreind tear it in half, and while you tell that person they are not welcome to that party because it is private. The money that the ticket was purchased for should be returned to the single partier looking to have a good time.

A real promoter, is the one who thinks about the small groups as much as the big groups. Treat all your partiers with the same respect that you would give to your freinds. That is the only way we will make this scene grow. A Happy Scene is a good scene, if we get a good scene hear, it will grow.


PS. I want my $20 back before October 1, 2004, even if my ticket was ripped by someone who's name will remain unmeantioned. If you don't return my $20 by then I will collect my $20 and whoever else has a ticket they don't want for your party all on Oct 10. I hate to seem like an asshole about this but, you pissed me off out there Money. Gimmie my cash back soon. I have two parties coming up and I need all the money I can get to pull it all off. I have no patience for you anymore. You know how to get a hold of me. Maybe if you don't have the cash we can work something out. Just call me and save yourself some hassle.

I hope you call me soon, otherwise i'll see ya on the 10th...

Mad? No Matt I’m impressed, that’s pretty amazing. Did you type that out all by yourself? While the majority of kids your age were downtown having fun last night, it’s good to know your safe and sound planning your parties at home. I mean if we didn’t have such dedicated promoters like you in this ‘Scene’ then by all means it would be ruined. What the hell do you know about this scene you speak of?! Granted you started (like a lot of us) at the Plaza but you weren’t partying, you were doing sound. Dude I can’t say I have ever even seen you party. Who are you to tell us that parties like Cott are ruining this Vancouver scene, when you are so out of touch with this scene it’s your biggest joke of all.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything about this line was directed to all Matt’s in general, no one Matt should take offence to anything spoken above the dotted line. Below the solid line are more words of encouragement toward all Matt’s everywhere. Below the line you should take offence.
________________________________________ ________________________

Saturday evening we held a last minute, invite only, private birthday to honor the hard work Money and friends put into the organization of this party, as well as Money’s birthday. These people were phoned with private invites, they were people we care about, enjoy being around and consider our good friends. Matt what made you thinks you could show up?! You’re none of these. If you ask me you showed up chalked up full of spite and ego thinking you were going to be some hotshot “shake-a-hand” promoter and wish Money well next time. You’re lucky you didn’t get knocked out. However you did storm down the street, possibly with some teary issues. A happy scene is a good scene you see Matt, to get a good scene is to cut down the high school dance promoters like yourself who set their own level of stature. You have mammoth piles of respect to earn before you come close to the where you think your sitting on the social latter.

Btw, I didn’t buy a ticket to your parties. Knowing myself I really don’t want to. BUT, just reading about the way you so carefully worded yourself about your refund money. “I need all the money I can get to pull it all off”, I think I might just pickup a ticket or two. You have sold me!

[flipmat]

what the hell, thats not fair

[flipmat]

its almost like i already know what your going to say
