Well everybody i gotta say I had a superb time. I got opportuntiy to meet lots of you - so thanks for that - and hopefully you will know who I am because i was the only guy there from England. Its disappointing as fuck that raves just arent big in the USA - but to the organisers of this event CONGRATULATIONS you did a mega job.
If and when this event come around again - I thin ticket prices around the 40 bucks mark are definately fair - but if presalesd were sold as low as 25 bucks - anybody who complains at paying 60 has no argument at all.
In comparison to raves in England, this was certainly not as busy (people wise) but on number of rooms and Dj lineups was defiantely a good effort. If i was orgainising this event i wouldnt have had as many areas, maybe just 5 total and thats it.
I havent got anything realy bad to say about the whole night. It was awesome. Like i said - just wish it was busier. Your security were very laid back and fair - and trust the same event in england would have had everybody search thoroughly, not just a quick pat down!
What are the chance of being able to sell beer / alcohol inside the venue? It kind of sucked to have to keep going in and out just to keep a buzz going!
Would have loved to see one or two realy big names in the rave scene or maybe a guest dj from englands scene - but that all is determined by budgets and only you guys know howe much money you have. A few sets of UK hardcore and classic / o;d school hardcore would have been phenominal but all in all WELL DONE to all the organisers.
This was my very first taster of rave scenes here in chicago and i loved it.
Oh and just one more thing - holding these raves in the suburbs - for me - is a far better idea than going all the way to Chicago Heights, etc.
Once again thanks and I look forward to many more raves in the future.
Please put me on your distribution list for info on future raves.
