I thin...This is actually quite an interesting post. <BR/><BR/>I think for a lot of people of my age (mid-late 20s) the term "party" originates from the days of the raves being called "parties" despite their often huge size. So the term kind of became all-inclusive for electronic music events. <BR/><BR/>I do agree with your point that it is in itself a dumb term as, especially with parties I've thrown, you work with an established venue and your success depends on your level of corporate sponsorship money (well at least if you hoping to have the $$$ to bring in out of town talent). It is very much of the corporate and business world on the organizers end. <BR/><BR/>And for the guests who attend, you are doing shots of drinks on special provided by the corporate sponsors etc. It really all feeds into the same machine.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I do not mind. I like the professionalism of it all. <BR/><BR/>I remember one house party I threw about 2-3 years ago in which I let Flosstradamus take over my house. About 400 people I didn't know showed up and it was shut down by midnight. Was it fun, fuck yes! Will I ever do it again? Hell fucking no! It took me about 16 hours to clean up the wreckage, my digital camera was stolen and all the neighbors had something to say. <BR/><BR/>Point being, yes it was a hell of a better time than could be had at Lava or Debonair or any of the public venues. But simply put, I choose to not deal with the headache and disrespect of people's spaces that go along with house parties. <BR/><BR/>However I do agree club nights at all the same venues are beginning to be a bore. I would love to see a more hybrid approach. A party at an outdoor space. A large gallery party like the days of Open End. Truth be told, everything is starting to blend together in a way that no club night, or "party" is even that memorable anymore. <BR/><BR/>The challenge to innovate will always be there. And for those willing to risk it, people will meet it with open arms. <BR/><BR/>The End,<BR/><BR/>Veronica <BR/>www.creamteam.tv <BR/>v@creamteam.tv<BR/><BR/>PS: Sorry that was lengthy ha!
