I do not admire the task of organising parties. A majority of people,let me rephrase that, THE majority of people I’ve ever talked to seem be highly attracted to the notion of organising big scale parties. Now don’t get me wrong, I fully understand the idea behind it, the person in question likes to attend parties, therefore it would be amazing to organise one yourself. The problem herein lies is that whatever said person organises, will be most likely a copy of the party he/she once attended that was most enjoyable.
Herein lies the entire problem I seem to have with the industry.
It all seems to me to be a copy, of a copy, of a copy, of a copy, of a party once thrown in the 80’s. It evolves,sure, yet the idea is still the exact same. Everything has been done to death. Why? because it works. There is a demand for these parties and a certain expectation of what is to come. There will be a DJ playing dance,R&B and sadly nowadays Dubstep. There will a crowded bar, a dance area, and people not adhering to the dresscode provided by the organiser. There will be frowning bouncer outside with a line of people dressed for a lush summersday in Tuscany, whilst freezing their ass off. It will start at 10, noone will arrive ‘till 11:30, by 2 most will have gone and 2 hours later the clubowner is smiling behind his table counting the cash. It just simply WORKS. People WILL come, people WILL buy hugely overpriced and less then half of what they will have poured for themselves drinks, people WILL come next time.
Now even though the setting is not always the same, the formula doesn’t change. Where is the innovation? Where is the thrill of something new? The fact is, most of the time it doesn’t pay off to take risks. Not in this small town, anyway.But there IS a market for something different. People are starting to notice the pattern of parties. The few who do do not propose to change anything though, they push their boundaries by drinking more. I do it. My friends do it. It’s not perfect, but it’s a way to get through the goddamn night. I don’t want to depend on my friends to have a good time at events. I want to be blown away again. I want that excitement I used to have when I just started clubbing.
I confess that even though I know how tonight will be, I am looking forward to it. Why? Because YES it’s been done to death, but that doesn’t mean I did not have a good time.
It works.
