That kid is right on the money. Mitchy has a lot of balls telling people he can't pay them because the door didn't do well. Mitchy was the one comping people. Mitchy is the guy who does not work. Mitchy is the guy who made the promises. Now mitchy is the guy begging for other people to pay his bills. Shady does not even begin to cover it.

Sounds like dj_We-D3 doesn't have a clue about how things run. If the staff/performers aren't paid off the door, what are they supposed to be paid off? The promoter is supposed to pull money out of their ass? Sure, it would be nice if the promoter had all the money he needed to pay everyone in-pocket before starting the event, but does that *ever* really happen? Any assclown who doesn't know he's getting paid off the door should get outta the business.

I'm not excusing Mitch, or anything. He's still liable for the payments due, or his company is, but this kid doesn't have a clue.

Oh, and why are we still discussing an event that nobody here went to?

Are you cereal?

Ideally you don't worry about the door $ to cover expenses you haven't paid. Even though it is common practice its not proper.

You should have your ducks in a row beforehand or loose or dump some of those expensive ducks.

Actually, Coach......that almost never happens. Any DJ with an agent gets paid in advance. The guy who posted the thread that is linked here actually supplied smoothies not music. He was promised payment and was never told that money would only be forthcoming if the event did well.

Take Global Gathering for example.....those guys lost almost $1.5 Million and never told anyone a sob story. They just paid their bills and went on with their lives. Good promoters pay their bills as promised regardless of the door count. Anyone who is relying on the door revenue to pay his bills should not do the event.

If you were to ask almost any DJ what they think of promoters, you'll most likely get an earful of hatred. Events like this one are the reason for that. Guys like Mitch give all promoters a bad name. Did he need 54 DJs? Did he need to give away free smoothies? Did he need to do the rooftop summit? No....but why not since someone else is paying?

Coach, you're too nice. This guy mooches off these poor rave kids for a living. He has no job and collects donations on a monthly basis to pay his household bills. It's no wonder that he wasn't worried about paying these bills.......all his bills are paid by other people so why not these?

What I want to know is this: Since Mitch is all about the "community" and his followers make contributions to pay his bills, would they have shared in the profits if the event did well? I don't think so.

No Job, lives w/a roomate, loans on a personal car to fund a RAVE, wiping out of an IRA to fund a RAVE, hanging with people well below your age and even underage, uuuhem drug abuse with said people, "donations" to pay bills and contracts, false and broken promises...all by someone well over 30+...

Does anyone really need to know more and can anyone truly respect or defend someone like this....its plain as day...he is a loser. Why anyone would even support this guy anymore or choose to be "friends" with him is suspect.

That's what I'm saying. Shady O'Grady as far as I am concerned. And it was also someone else's IRA. Wanna bet Mitch took his "car" money off the top?

not to sound like a dick.. but the staff involved should have gotten everything in writing.

the whole situation is really shady but considering they had more djs than attendance is somewhat the djs fault as well... Im sorry but the djs on that line up are NOT big time djs.. they are up and coming nobodys... they are mostly daydreamers.... they should have stopped thinking that they were too good to promote and they should have been promoting the fuck out of that event as well... it appears NOBODY promoted shit for the event.... so its all of their faults in my opinion.

I love the response from esreveR.jD - that "the club took several steps to drive away people." He blames "9 dollar water" and bogus "noise complaints" for the low turnout. How would those factors affect ticket sales?
