yeah.. and you'd be even more disappointed if you had to wait an hour and a
half for some ridiculous security check (put in place purely to massage the
ego of the label organising the party, who i highly doubt are seeing
revenue-loss through bootlegging of shows.. as the people wanting to listen
to the bootlegs are likely to be those so obsessed with the music they're
guaranteed to buy the records when they come out and they'll probably buy
both formats!.. but anyway) which doesn't even work.. only to get inside my
party to find you can't see a thing because someone has put a giant great
wall in front of the stage (BUT IT's OK.. because my BEST friends get to
sit behind the stage, where there is more space than anywhere else.. and
where they've probably still got reserves of alcohol). so instead, you
decide to fill my fat pocket with a bit more cash by buying one of
my beers for 3 quid (me making approx 2 quid profit on it - but you only
get one, because i can't work out how much beer to buy and get it totally
wrong). so you go back inside my main room to discover your favourite act
are on, you can't see, the sound is masked by disgusting bass frequencies
bouncing off all the walls, and in the end you decide the best sound is
actually outside. where it is cold.
you'd be pretty disappointed then, wouldn't you?
seriously:
i am not saying the event was shit. and i am certainly not being
hyper-critical because of my heightened excitement for this show.. not at
all. i am point out, basic, fundamental problems with the event. these are
not small problems which are like 'niggles' of mine, they are fuck off
huge, very important problems with an event. i co-ordinate events myself
(certainly not on this scale, but musical events nonetheless) and if i'd
been in charge of organising this party, i'd be very embarrassed.
