Anyone who introduces themself being affiliated with "such and such" given this escalated type matter can leave a bad taste in one's mouth. Do you think she honestly cares who you are given as to wtf was happening? One being involved can easily be considered as being associated.

Dude, just let it go man. Reid mentioned Kraig in her post not knowing who it was, and saying what he did/said. Kraig was merely replying to her saying who he was and it was him she talked to and refreshed her on what he actually said to her.

There is nothing wrong with Kraig's post, you tried to accuse him of copping out which he replied to you again having to repeat himself, and now you're saying he's just trying to drop his name? c'mon, just let it go. Go make some popcorn and sit back and enjoy the great arguement!

Funny how it is 4 pages and she has only posted once

But that's not what you said initially. You dissed her for not "preventing" it. Do I need to go back and quote you again?

Further to what Allison said, my point was, she made matters worse. Obviously you missed my point.

I would repost it again, but I don't think I can dumb it down enough for you to understand.

if she was infact being screwed around, which i didnt see AT ALL, she should have worked harder to keep her cool, NOT discuss it with random partiers (why air dirty laundry right from the get go?), and not mouth off in such a nasty way. nor should she have started demanding things and then come on to drama central, and blow things apart even further.
who wants to bet she hasn't even attempted to contact josh or kristine since the night of the show?

ridick.
lock.

Don't single me out like I was defending her. I wasn't. I guess that one little comment just sort of seemed unreasonable to me, and that's the only reason I posted in this thread.

I'll cosign on the lock please.

LOL. I give up.

I read what I read, it seemed unreasonable, you further clarified what you meant, which is fine, but wasn't what you initally posted and now I'm left wondering why I bothered in the first place.

I do think that last sentence is way out of line though. I try to respect people as much as I can, even when I disagree with them. I made a point of not insulting you in this thread. Thanks for showing the same maturity.

Dude, what Kraig said was only 1 part of the whole situation, it's not up to him to try and resolve her not getting paid or to get her records. He was leaving the party and decided to be the middle man for a few minutes. If Reid posted publically about the situation then why can't Kraig reply to her? And did you miss the part where he offered his email and phone #?

^Sure so do I. I never disagreed with that at all. I actually agreed before I pointed out one comment which struck me as unreasonable.

Now I'm laughing. Jeeeeeez, ladies. :) I can't believe I've kept posting this long...

[Wood]

^ i'm sure everyone involved could've handled themselves better. emotions tend to run wild in such situations. but when you look at the facts (or what one can decern to be the facts amidst much bs & speculation) it appears her only mistake was coming to play the show without having recieved a deposit.

Considering she twisted what Kraig said, I hardly think all of that is fact.

I think it is funny that so many of you can side with the DJ, when the promoter hasn't given their side of the story.

Like it has already been said in this thread, her time would be better spent trying to sort it out with her management company or Josh directly. Not spewing falsities on the net.

I'm sure message board logs stand up in the court of law pretty well lmao


oh good god....

Avana.. I'm pretty sure even you, the closest thing to perfection FNK has ever seen, would take "the promoter thinks you fucked up" as "you fucked up"... it's all a matter of semantics and I hardly see that as twisting someone's words.

Wait, how is the promoter's (Josh) actions acceptable? I'm more than willing to hear out this so-called "other side" but there hasn't been anyone writing anything about it, merely calls for thread-locking (which is the opposite of getting both sides of the story).

Reid was spinning under duress (equipment not working, stupid morons on stage with her, etc), but she continued to do her job (spin). A diva would have stopped at that point, a professional continues working even though the situation is sh*tty. It was only after the promoter stormed past me, ran upto Reid, saying something about "no drum and bass... bullshit... get the fuck off the stage" after maybe three tracks of DnB (he probably didn't know that, but you really shouldn't spaz at someone over sh*t you don't even know what you're talking about). It was loud, so don't quote me, there was just alot of anger and swearing, references to dnb and getting off the stage. Reid, after the promoter runs off again, pulls the sound and takes her records off the decks.

As for the rest (security, fighting, whatever), I really don't know. However, I kinda think Reid had every right to be pissed, given that she was managing to work under bad conditions and then yelled at for it.


And really, preventing the fight? Puleeeeeeese.
