Recently, our house movement has been under a fiercely competitive attack from
all sides. The once loving family of united party people have apparently begun
to faction off into many small groups of promoters/ dj's/ and social scenes. We
can't have this! The never ending search for money, success, and prestige can
drive nearly anyone down to an all time low. Promoters skip town without paying
for services rendered. Cliquish groups of people snub those around them. Innocent
party people drive long distances and pay large amounts of money only to find
an empty warehouse, or dj's that weren't that were never on the flyer to begin
with. Promoters give interviews to the press about our scene in order to turn
a higher profit. All of these things and more are going on around us all the time.
Obviously this kind of information is a sure fire bummer, but it's these kinds
of problems that will eventually destroy our house nation forever! Many of us
believe that this movement is a meaningful one, full of love and good people,
NOT a money-making business venture. We have the potential to come together from
all walks of life (regardless of race, creed, religion, or sexuality) and unite
in mind, body, and spirit. It's up to us to make this happen; without our collective
participation, love, trust, and support, we are nothing. Here are some suggestions
from your friends:
Do question the cover charge you pay and where that money goes.
Do question the intentions of a party larger than 500 people.
Do question your support of negative people, dj's, and promoters.
Do question your association with people who only seem to talk about money
and/or drugs.
Do support a variety of dj's and parties Do know your promoters and who
they are involved with.
Do know if your promoter pays their dj's and staff.
Do educate yourself and your friends about the drugs you take and all the
precautions necessary to protect yourself from harm.
Do know your sources well.
Do remember to eat, sleep, and drink a lot of water.
Do take good care of yourself and your loved ones.
Do make at least one new friend every party you go to.
Do love and remember.
Do forgive and forget.
Do remember that if someone tell you something about someone else that
isn't very nice, that same person is probably saying something that isn't
very nice about you when you're not around.
Do question people who take sides and gossip.
Do smile often and go out of your way to accept everyone around you.
Do share (your love, your thoughts, and your drugs).
Do remember that you are the power of example to everyone around you.
We realize that these suggestions may not apply to all situations,
however, it is our belief that information can only make us stronger and
is yours to take or leave as you like.
