Update 10/05/10
Yeah...time to update this again...
DJ SIDE:
Well...for those that never saw the note I posted on Facebook regarding Industry, here's the long and the short of it: it was fun. We had people come in that I have never seen before come in and have a great time. Herr Doktor played a great set, and everyone that came had a great time. That was what I was going for. And to those that came, my sincerest thanks. And thanks again to Anjela for being my door person...couldn't have done it without you!
However, the bar didn't break even, which didn't make the bar manager happy (and rightly so!)...and the good majority of people that said they'd be there were not there. Just to give you an idea of how important this was to me: if the numbers of Industry were really good, they were going to be given to someone who works at another bar downtown, and depending on the numbers, subsequent events might have been held there. However, that isn't going to be happening now. Nor, do I think, it'll be held at Club 1668 again, considering the low numbers. And despite the requests from people telling me I should try this again in February (this was never going to be a monthly event...MasQ already is a monthly event, and it was never my intention to compete with it!), and the fact that a friend of mine who attended, that works for a media firm, is willing to do promotions for it because they want to see it succeed...I dunno if this will be happening again...mostly because I forsee the exact same thing happening again, which, as you can imagine, does not make me confident of the event's success.
Aside from another wedding this month, I'll also be spinning at Hal-Con 2010 on the 29th for the masquerade ball! This should be a lot of fun! I'll also be providing music support for a bellydance event in November. More info when it becomes available.
RADIO/PODCAST SIDE:
I'm working on getting myself back onto Wolf Radio relatively soon. Mostly the delay is a logistical one, i.e. finding a regular place for the laptop I use for the broadcasts. Long story...but once I get that all straightened out, I should be back on the internet airwaves...providing I still have an audience...
PERSONAL SIDE:
As you can imagine, the whole thing surrounding Industry has seriously bummed me out. I haven't really wanted to be around people since that night. I feel like I've been really let down by the people whom I call my friends. It's making me doubt my desire to not only hold another event, but to even continue spinning music. At one point over the weekend, I considered just announcing that once all my professional obligations regarding DJing were finished, I would be hanging up the phones for good, selling the rig, and never doing it again. In a way, that's still in the back of my mind. I guess...depending on how I feel after November, I'll make my decision then. A lot of the things that are floating around in my head I can't put down in here because despite how this has seriously hurt me, I don't want to burn bridges. So for now, I'm keeping everything to myself...which includes not being online much anymore. Not until I feel like my presence is still wanted by everyone, because right now, it doesn't feel that way.
That's all. More later, if I feel like updating.
