Needless to say, this is not a party I would attend.

And this whole time, I thought people were throwing around the name "DJ Mompants" as a joke. I guess it still is one, but...
EDIT: Oh shit, I forgot to put ~[/b]'s around my post.
I have a strong feeling it only requires buying a few certain things and then turning our backs on anyone who doesn't also own those same select items.
Also, Roxy's hands look more like those of Betty Crocker than those of Q-Bert.
I'm just curious if people are in the thought school of "get that money" or "you're selling your soul".
Do these "World Renowned DJ's" even smoke ciggs? I would say if they don't it makes this even worse than it already is.
Hate to sound like an old man, but it doesn't seem like the Dare generation ever learned what it means to sell or not sell out. And now we're witnessing them sell out in droves...if signing that damned Dare pact back when they were in 8th grade wasn't enough.
while my previous post alludes to what you said, i think you you're setting up a false dichotomy.
Damn. That's the sort of thing that tests my commitment to the non-profit world. $70G goes a long way, especially, I imagine, in a place like Virginia.
I turned down work with Hennessy and I'm not rich. These fuckers can show a bit of backbone. But I doubt they have much else going for them besides being able to stay up late.
aren't these people embarrased to consistently headline events where the warm-up dj is much, much better? i dont doubt that these djs cant rock a party with their crowds, and ive seen clips of how much "energy" aoki has. regardless, its still a case of the emperors new clothes when you are talking about headlining an event in vegas...or anywhere for that matter. there are soo many dope djs out there. what a waste.
i'm really looking forward to reading this thread again.
i dunno, he looks a bit younger / more like a male model then ol' Will Self. I can't really imagine him being into celebrity parties in Vegas anyway. (well not anymore)
I like the pictures of people just holding up packs of cigarettes. I can imagine the conversation:
"Hi, do you smoke?"
"No"
"then just hold up this pack of cigarettes and make your best pouty face"
Maybe in Richmond, but not in NOVA.
Also, if you are into advertising/marketing and keeping some of your soul, the Martin Agency just got a whopping Walmart deal.
That's a very broad and generous definition of the term "world-renowned". If, for example, Danny Masterson is world renowned for anything, I wouldn't expect it to be DJing. I'm not one to ride for the Tiestos, Paul Oakenfolds and Ferry Corstens of this world, but those fools are what I'd call world-renowned, by which I mean "can fill a football stadium in about twenty five different countries".
and New York
No, I'd like to keep the whole thing. It's just the money that occasionally gives me cause to reflect on my work. But in the end, I sleep well at night, nahmean?
mompants dude, try and keep up....
