[Ms.Tarantula]

you can only go to the met every friday for so long before you realize that you actually hate it there, and you were just too drunk to notice.

you are missing life, people.

[Lil Jenna]

i think you should only be referring to yourself in that post. some of us don't get so fucked up on friday (or any other day) that we don't notice wheather or not we like what we're doing. some of us enjoy that life that you're telling us we're missing enough to want to remember what we did on friday (or any other day). maybe try that instead.

besides, i usually bring something a little different when i play at the met.

[Ms.Tarantula]

to each's own.

place is gross as hell IMO. same dj's + better venue = way better.

[kir mokum]

if you believe "to each their own" why did you use the royal "we" in you post as if everyone feels or should feel the same as you and has had the same experience and that we need you're enlightening remarks to help us discover the "life" we are missing? your statements are contradictory (among other things) in language and intent.


yeah, the place is a dive. everybody knows that. cyber is just as much a dive, imo. if you have a better venue, talk to toby. better yet talk to me. i'd love to find one. or start your own thing.

[Ms.Tarantula]

1) the ratio of sloshed people at the met compared to sober people is nothing short of staggering.

2) if you like playing for underaged girls then hey maybe the met is good for your reputation as a dj, you are no better then how you present yourself and when you chose a sleazy place like that well.. you aint lookin so hot right about now... take your AWESOME TALENT someplace better so more people can enjoy it.

3) the constant harassment from junkies outside the front door isnt something that ANYONE generally wants to deal with.. the lotus is no better for this downfall

4) I am NOT bashing the met to big up cyber

5) I used the royal "we" in my original post because IMO I dont think that kind of a venue reflects well on anyone who frequents it weekly. ''hi, I go to a dive every week cause its fun and the music is good.. you just have to ignore the overwhelming smell of urine outside the front door and fight off the crackheads scrambling for your spare change.. you should come sometime ITS FUCKING GREAT''... yeah, sounds like it.

as for a different venue, its not up to me to find one for anyone, I know you werent asking me to and im not asking you to change venues. I just said that the same vibe in a less trashy loccation would be a lot more appealing.

I know for a fact I'm not the only one thinking these things, maybe out of respect for people who used to play there, have played there and still do play there most of us dont complain but COME ON. Change is good.

[Ms.Tarantula]

look I can see that you have been replying to this for a good 20 minutes now, and whatever your response is, post it by all means but I digress regardles.

do your thing man maybe I should never have posted my negativity into this thread.

rispek.

i guess you would know since you've stated that that has been your only experience there. i've never been fucked up there. ever. neither have my friends who usually come out en (minor) mass. but seriously, what's the difference between that and any other bar.

i don't know any underage girls. i haven't met any there. and i don't see how the people that go to the met particularly reflect on me as a DJ. do those people reflect badly on chase & status? or michael red? or hightower? or toby? or shamus? or any of the other DJs that have played there? and i didn't really choose the met, the met chose me. i enjoy playing there because the crowd is usually fun and into the music and it's the only d'n'b venue i can enjoy right now (well, until tues started). where else should i play? who else should i play for? and how exactly am i presenting myself? how is it i'm "not looking so hot" right now? because i'm defending the met? i'm not really trying to defend the met. it's a shit hole. more importantly i think you're being a jackass and i'm calling you on it. you're shitting on toby's night and specifically the one i'm playing and imposing your specific views on everyone else. you don't like the met (for kinda dumb reasons)? that's fine. you wanna tell everyone about it? thats cool. you wanna condemn and diminish the night and all the people who go their and who DJ there without any constructive criticism or anything additive and contradict your own sentiments in the process? that's fine too, but you'd better expect some heat for it because you're being selfish, petty, and kind of a cunt.

oh, and i never said i have "AWESOME TALENT" so don't front like i did.

just like any other bar downtown? sounds like a moot point.

i never said you were. i used it merely as a basis of comparison as it's pretty much the only other d'n'b night in van.

so basically, like i said before and my original beef with your post, you want to impose YOUR opinion on everyone else and are trying to pass it off as common knowledge?


maybe some people aren't as shallow and image oriented as you. maybe some people recognize the place for what it is and still want to listen to d'n'b on a friday or support their friends or the music or whatever.

then stop talking like you fucking know.

well, yeah. that's obvious. but that isn't "just" what you're saying.

this i totally agree with and isn't what i'm arguing.

one of the problems of having one of those coveted and elusive "lives" is that your interneting can get interrupted by it.

[Ms.Tarantula]

once again

[GSG9]

haha im totally gonna trash on the met to big up cyber.

[socool]

"maybe some people aren't as shallow and image oriented as you. maybe some people recognize the place for what it is and still want to listen to d'n'b on a friday or support their friends or the music or whatever."

Yup.

[t-skywalker]

i work the door i have fun. i enjoy the music and the ppl. and always enjoy seeing all the ppl i know having fun dancing drinking and it not being a huge club environment. i enjoy the reasonable priced drinks. i enjoy it being more casual and relaxed and not in ur face club experience. if you want the hype club with the punding music and the sweaty ppl go else where this isnt the place for you. its more like cheers:) where everyone knows your name and u dont get searched and id everytime u come down and be harrased if you had to many to drink. we just laugh at you and take pictures;)

hehehe. come down and say hi to those who still appreciate the met, and like the more relaxed scene.

to those who arent out to get noticed or pick up ppl. this is the wrong the place. its more family

[kir mokum]

so where do you go for d'n'b, Ms.Tarantula?

[Ms.Tarantula]

^ dont ask me that like it makes any difference or as if you give a shit.


we both know you just want to trash talk whatever you think I support and thats even more hurting then me speaking my own opinion about that shit hole you call home.

for the record, I dont really do the dnb nights any more. dont really want that crowd in my life. I do the house party thing with friends, and on occasion I might go to a night if I REALLY want to see the out of towners play out.

I tried to digress from the topic, I even stated that maybe I was being overly negative and threw 'rispek' out there.. TWICE which is rare coming from me... but if you wanna keep arguing about shit then be my guest, it will keep me entertained at work all day.

i'm genuinly curious and i'm not trying to shit on you.

i understand and acknowledge your "apology"/retraction, for lack of a better word, but i'm not trying to come down on you because i have some sort of beef with you, personally. i simply had a big problem with your original post on this page. so i said something. i understand your being defencive, seeing as this is the internet and all, but that's not my intent.

i don't really call the met home. if i were to call a place "home" it would be the anza.
