wishlist

[Ikarus]

with buzz shut down and a lack of non-esl/beautiful people dance nights in the city, my 930 wishlist looks like this:<P>ritchie hawtin--why should nyc have all the fun?  i don't know if he still does the all-out a/v production, but the 930 is a great venue for what he can do.<P>planet of the drums--or dieselboy, at least<P>dj spooky--he owned the room opening for bukem a while back<P>uberzone--oldies but goodies<P>bassbin twins--will never happen, but a boy can dream<P>some 2-step--cole, bias, streets, whatever.<P>basically, i'm just lazy and don't wanna drive to b-more to get a groove on.

yeah, Richie Hawtin changed my life in 1993 i believe.  or LSD. but i think it was him!!<BR>  problem is that DJs get paid SOOO much money, and turnout just doesnt work.<P>  i promoted for someone who did some electronic music parties at 930 (fatboy slim, juan atkins, lee burridge) and although the Fatboy Slim show sold out, the other 2 or 3 just bombed, maybe 300 people TOPS. and with DJs getting 10,000 a pop, even at $30 a head...well, you do the math.<BR>  plus, i thought all DC was was beautiful people    <P>Uberzone IS playing at Sonar in Baltimore in May and Sonar is a very nice place.<BR> <A HREF="http://www.sonarlounge.com" TARGET=_blank>www.sonarlounge.com[/url]    <----check it

yeah, i have seen Juan Atkins so many times, and either nobody cared, or he was, god forbid, THE headliner, no one even showed.<P> Not even in NYC where techno is supposed to rule, does anyone care.<P><BR> Djs are starting to bore me anyway.<BR>
