EXACTLY! Lots of suport for Tony on this. Correct me if im wrong, but Tony has been quite successful with the small parties hes thrown so far. We use to have out door parties almost weekly. They were great fun and some of the best of the year. It seemed almost every promoter was doing at least one out door party a year if not more. Best of luck on this one Tony!

I remember a party a while ago (Dreamscape? Dreamland? Something that started with Dream...) with a so-called "experienced" promoter from Toronto who was using a couple of local partykids to help promote their first Vancouver party. Well, just before the party started, the promoter flailed off with all the pre-sale proceeds, leaving completely underexperienced and penniless party kids to pay off the DJs, get the soundsystem up and going, etc. etc. etc. Didn't take any help from the local promoters, kinda meefed off anybody that wasn't him that wanted to try and help it out. In the end, I think a few of the local promoters managed to band together enough to get a stage going, even then most of the party went musicless. It's not that we're trying to be negative, but when some fly-by-night (not saying you are) promoter comes on and says "I wanna make the next Apex", please understand when we don't necessarily believe you right off the bat. It's one thing to post stuff on the internet, it's another thing entirely to actually pull off a show with the magnitude of Apex, and make it good no less. Feel free to ask for tips. I think the main one you should be getting from this thread is: Don't try everything alone, it won't work. Keep the scene involved and the scene will show up. If you are actually what you say you are, not just some scammer aiming to get a cheap buck off the party scene, then fuck yeah. Power to ya. Hope your show goes off. Just understand if we're being cautious about it, though. Nobody here knows who you are or what you do, so while we may hope for the best, we expect the worst.

I actually preffer to go to small parties rather then big parties...It is too hard to find people at big parties...Small parties you know almost everyone and you don't have a hard time finding people:y: But out door parties are deffenitely 2 thumbs up...

You can pretty easily lose your friends (and in fact blink them out of existence) at a small rave. I think it involves Mushrooms.

Blinking lights don't always do the trick when there are a bunch of other fucked up ravers wearing blinking lights...Put a thinking cap on and begin writting down ideas...You could even start a business!...:y:

first of all for any one that might be mistaken this would in no way be apex , or apexs equivelant. i am not tryin to reproduce apex or copy it. it was just an idea iwas putin out there and has not been more then that at this point! i respect the work swing kids and avana have put in to apex and do not in anyway want to take any credit for thier event. i just want to better the scene and help bring back the oldschool vibe of magic moutntain,and other great outdoor partys!! so with this i apologize if it in any way look otherwise, i also hope that there is more support towards thiws idea or any others because if it werent for people like avana or swing kids or any other promoter there would be no partys .aswell for you that arent promoters but r party'rswell if werent for you then well we wouldnt have anyone to promote too!

everyone brings up good points...no one is wrong
but....i think its a great idea,its not about competeing with apex, its just another decent outdoor event!! - APEX has up to 15 stages........he is only planning 5 or so! - so its deffinatly not about compitition. im gung ho! as some of you might know....i held a series of bush partys around this time last year,......and i am planning another batch of em!! shift T.......im down for this.....i will leave you an email a bit later, im a bit busy right now! - but i will be in contact! =)
