Party Vibe

I thought i’d throw my tuppence worth in as I did the flyer…

I can understand Dave getting protective about what he might see as the evils of “The Man” ripping off a scene he loves – but its not really like that and many of those involved have been playing & supporting free parties since the early 90s

There’s not much point getting into a “club v outside” debate as everyone’s got their own views -and the old chest nut of whether a free party means “no cash” or “freedom” has run and run on many an internet board… so I’ll leave it for another day…

In reply to some of Dave’s main points – Zogg normally hires the club and so doesnt make any money off the bar and wont be doing so on Friday. The venue had a free date and as it summer we’d normally be quiet – so doing it a free party keep the venue happy (as they’ll sell lots of drinks) and Zogg will do a busy party at a normally quiet time of year – and hopefully party goers get a good knees up for free – so everyone gets something out of it…

(BTW The normal Zogg admission price (£8/10 or a fiver in adv) just about covers cost of venue hire/publicity/Djs/live acts/performers/decor and sadly no one will ever be able to retire to the bahamas on the proceedings!)

VP is a mate of mine as well and the pic was taken as Dil Zogg was playing (on his & Gordies rig if i remember correctly) at the first Shefstock. If anyone was paying attention (and was really techno!) – they have noticed the piss take of the liberators CD (Its not intelligent etc) making very clear it was not outside or the arches – but still hopefully ‘aving it!

Anyway… after all that waffle… the party is what it is… its an allnighter party in a good & relaxed club and its free… so if you’d prefer not to go – no probs – I’ll see you in a field somewhere this summer.. but if you fancy a night out – we’ll see you on Friday!

Think what you like mate – most of the DJs & acts tomorrow have been playing at free parties for a long long time and put a lot into the party scene over the years (ask anyone who’s been partying round sheffield for more than a few years) but if you take putting on a night for free with a decent line as a fuck you – then fair enough – I’m sure you’re more techno than us all.

Good luck with your parties and I hope you have a more postive attitude towards them.

Dave

Points taken – it was all done a bit tongue in cheek anyway – as I said – if i’d have posted the ad – it’d have been done in the events bit – but it was put up by some who goes to our parties – who might not be as up on all the politics side of it.

(BTW – despite what everyone may think about us all being evil capitalists – Zogg isnt and has never been done for the cash – it just about scrapes even most months – like just about everyone who does parties – we do it cos we love the music and the parties)

cheers
