Sorry if I had a flaming tone. Didn't mean to. I was responding to all the
various pro and con messages regarding a club event rather than a rave
event. You're absolutely right that this bill will only draw about 500
people on its own, since there aren't any "name" DJs attached. But Freaky
Chakra/Single Cell Orchestra pulled this off much more elegantly by booking
the Ventura Theater, for example. I know that's even farther North for you
San Diegans, but the extra drive would be worth it. That said, I do give
The Troub credit for booking this gig. It shows they're trying real hard to
break out of their pure guitar rock prison.
