Melt why you cant handle seeing another night do well that you arent involved in? You over analize everything and make assumptions of peoples reasoning for putting a night on, how about just letting the lads and lasses stick to promoting their night and you promote yours? Instead of slagging off their brand and reasoning for putting a night on on a public message-board? Of course they are going to bite, who knows who reads this and they have to stick up for their night and why they are putting it on!!!
Haha 'Team Jaunt.' I like it. You mean people like DannyM & Stu Wrong who just go to Jaunt aye? Dont run the night in anyway. Tbf though if anyone is critical of something you've worked so hard for than your going to try and put your side accross. There's plenty of time on here when someone has said summit about Detox and your staright in there with a reply. There's countless times that we have been critisized over the years and believe me we do take it on board. Even your comment about the text was taken on board! The problem with yourself is that you just keep going on and on e.g the Jody Wisternoff flyers. Pretty much likewise. You've never met me. I've never met you. You've never been to Jaunt, i've never been to Detox. Because I said you're nearly twice the age of some of us here? Cant be to far from the truth seeing as some of us wern't even born during the 'acid house years.' Hardly ageist.... Anyway. All this bickering isnt in the spirit of rave is it? So lets just leave it at that. X
Why should the two be mutually exclusive though? I DJ because I get to play my favourite tunes that I love to a room full of people who are off their faces, and it's not as such about making me feel good, but all of us.
So you don't get anything from seeing other people enjoying what you are doing and playing? So its not altruistic then eh - THEY enjoy it, and YOU enjoy it. When people go on about dance music like they are some kind of stony faced museum curators in a timewarp, almost 'protecting' the scene they have begrudgingly (or at least thats how they like to pitch it) found themselves in, and berating others for daring to obviously say they are doing it cause they get a kick out of doing it .............................. its a bit off.
To be fair, the idea that jaunt are putting on parties purely to be popular/whatever just isn't true. I can absolutely guarantee that they simply buzz off getting buckled with their mates. If putting on parties to be popular simply equals an ever increases group of friends, you can barely criticise anyone. Melt, I think that a critical step towards people understanding you on this board would be clarifying whether or not you are in fact taking this board as purely a joke, massively seriously, or at complete odds with yourself.
errr, well, like I said, it's about all of us. It's about sharing something collectively. Yes we both enjoy it. Also called; all of us. Absolutely. Almost contrary to the first part of your post though, or at least certainly to the point that I initially made.
to be fair you've probably posted far more on here, but we'll never know how much more thanks to Deakin
bollox, is what i say, read the thread back properly and then come back to me. no one is overnalysing anything..... they kicked off over in the other thread because i said they were borrowing a brand. THAT IS without question.....A BONAFIDE FACT. i will stick to doing only what I am doing when people stop feeling feel the need to abuse me verbally when there is strength in their numbers because for sure WHEN the situation is reversed it will clearly be a different story. if you want a message board thats banal , bumming, schmoozing then let's everyone big each other up and kiss each others arse ....and hell thats fair enough but that is truely one wank board....it isnt a million miles from that now mind...no wonder fidla and man of science fucked this board off and there's me wondering why there aren't more "lasses" running nights.....oh fuck maybe i will have to resign like andy gray or richard keys now with a comment like that....but hell i cant sack the only person that runs detox - me....can i now...how can you sack yourself.
i think you sound like the most sensible of TEAM AMERICA , i hope you werent the dude ripping the flyer lol
Who would you rather have running a successful club night? The lads at Jaunt or the previous promoter of a certain night that this messageboard started off the back of? Or someone worse. It could be alot lot worse than a bunch of enthusiastic young people doing what they love, for kicks and chicks
Ironic. I've had far more complaints about this board being cliqued, acerbic, and overly critical of everything... I wouldn't exactly describe it as a banal bumming schmoozing site, but I'll add that one to the list in case anyone else makes the same complaint If you consider everyone to be "bumming" the jaunt lot, why not go along and see what the fuss is about? It's possible that the schmoozers might be right, and it might be a decent night out....
thething is why do you assume i am on about JAUNT.. when i aint....the thing is its like you aint allowed to criticise jaunt at all thats the laughable thing the bumming schmoozing backstabbing insincerity chasing the fame can equally be levelled much more at a whole host of other nights and not jaunt to any great extent. if they dont want criticism then why run events they must take the rough with the smooth but i generally get the impression they juts want people to say nice things about them. and just because deakin acted like a dick sometimes doesnt mean he didnt run for the most part a pretty good night
For the record none one who is actually fully involved in Jaunt did that. We know what doing shit like that can cause and know that it isn't the way to go about things. We do however have a lot of close mates who read this board but don't post and think your an absolute tosser so it was probably one of them. I only met you a few months back, 100% don't have your number and know that none of the other lads involved in the night do either but pissed up mates on nights out are likely to do things like that when you gob off so much about their mates night on a public message board. But yeah course you are going to get a response when you wop on. Its a public message board so you need to defend yourself when someone is ripping the shit out of you.
The TEAM AMERICA quote; The only people who run Jaunt and post on this board are, Vance, Rankin (mambo) and me Everyone else who sticks up for us are good mates who by the looks of things think you are a cunt and what you say obviously pisses them off as well. The other lads who run Jaunt don't go on this forum no where near as much as they used to because of people like you and I also know that a big percentage of other promoters in Newcastle dont bother with it either and think the same. Bluntly posting pointless shit it to wind people up gets chat going but also puts people off the forum. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
