I thought I would have enough money to pay for everything without having to use ticket sale money. but then about two weeks before the party when I had to start paying the city bills and such, I found out that my money I was going to use for that was not available(not the ticket money, but money that I saved up from working).. after finding that out I quickly started to look for sold ticket money and found none. so I figured I would make money off Get It On, but that did not work out either and I lost some money I invested into it.. So without the money I saved and without making any more money from Get It On.. I was jammed without paying the city and without the final payment on the venue.. That made me find a new venue and I had to change it to two rooms because of the location. I knew people would be upset with that so I decided to Pimp the rooms out with superior sound and tons of crazy lighting and lasers.
I did do a couple things different than other promoters who throw underground parties. I hired security that knows how to deal with police incase they do showup, and I made sure things ran quiet outside the venue.. with no complaints or anything because things were kept cool, the party was garunteed to go all night...
There are alot of reasons the cops didn't bust my party, I watched the same cop cruise around the venue 5 times looking around 3am.. I was standing out there waiting and waiting just incase they stopped and checked how things were going inside.. That is something I did differently then other promoters.. I accually tried to make it go all nioght instead of just setting up an infoline and hoping it goes all night... There are many other reasons it went all night because of how I did the setup and layout of the "All Night Dance Party"...
As a result of this party going from permitted to non-permitted harp&kamal say it hurts other promoters that mark a fully legal event on the flyer.. I doint' think thats true, I think if anything that it could help those already established promoters becuase people know that when those promoters throw a party people will already know they can do it..
But I know I messed up because I did not have enough money to make it legal.. so I will not mark legal event on my flyers for a long time(maybe never) even if it is legal.. Why does it matter, a party is a party.. and mine will go all night... thats the end of the story.. for parties that get busted its because the promoter is careless and lets things get out of controll.. mine are U-NeeK and will have that known way of running all night because I care..
Also I have learned alot about fnk and how it interacts with parties and people comments.. It makes me wounder if FnK didn't exist, would those people that made negative comments still have made them to anyone and everyone?
My thoughts on the party where that It was an awsome party and things turned out well for all you partiers that love to party, and to all the newbies, please don't listen to sweet kandy, sometimes she forgets where she comes from ;)
thats all,

matt i'm sorry little buddy but you're lost
there are promoters much better than you in this city who "tried" very hard for their parties too run all night and it didn’t happen. It wasn't because you "tried" that your party went all night. throwing a party at Korean isn’t "trying" really hard. you were lucky, very. and it could have been for a lot of factors that you were lucky.
if you knew well over a week ago by your own admition that you weren't going to have the money to throw the event as advertised , then why did you keep quiet? why did you keep your own partner, josh, in the dark?
For you to say ,
" Why does it matter, a party is a party.. and mine will go all night... thats the end of the story..for parties that get busted its because the promoter is careless and lets things get out of control"
what an ignorant and bold statement for you too make, how in the hell are you so cocky? you dont know anything and you proved that . look at agro he's thrown parties for years and he's had busts, he knows a million times what you know now and you think you'll do better already? for what reason?
you're right about the powers of fnk. the way you are viewed can be exploited and it can drastically effect your ticket sales huh? and it amuses me that you are smart enough to finally realize that yet you continue to speak with the same cocky arrogance that got you in trouble in the first place.
I think you would be a lot better off if you had any idea how the things you say sound to the people around you. good luck -
