This show was amazing on so many levels. The venue is unlike anything I've ever seen in Seattle. Lighting was off the hook. Sound was off the hook. An ACTUAL VIP section with cabanas and the works.

More than enough seating in both general and VIP.

There were SO MANY bars and bartenders that the longest I ever had to wait for a drink was 2 minutes and that was just because the guy in front of me was closing a tab. Usually I'd walk right up to just about any bar and boom! Drink in hand.

The dance foor was so big that space wasn't an issue. I hate dancing when the floor is so packed all you can do is fist pump.

Even the door was run well. Lots of staff out there to get people in quick.

All those things you hate about everywhere else you go were fixed here. Impressed to say the least!

I was stoked to be part of it. Cant wait to see who P3E and ONE will be bringing for Shine v2.

Hands down the best club venue in Seattle!! Great job guys on a great show!! Tracy and I had 7 drinks (5 beers and 2 club sodas) and it came to $26 bucks...thats a deal!! Who ever missed this event missed out on a huge production!! Chris, MarQ, Josh G., and Judge Jules had the place going off!!! The lighting inside was like being back in Miami!! All i can say is WOW!! I can't wait for the next one...Shine is something not to be missed!!

It’s not every day that you get to see your vision come to life. It’s one of the most rewarding experiences you can have.
Last fall, we came up with the idea for SHINE, Darren (one night events) & I have spend countless hours since in planning for this event & it was worth every minute. We made some bold statements, that were not only delivered but exceeded. The VIP area was arguably the best VIP experience in Seattle, ample seating, and a raised vantage point giving great views of the club/stage. My ace in the hole… Rake Fighters Of America utterly destroyed the bar for stage production in Seattle. NOTHING has ever looked like that, & NOTHING ELSE WILL until the next SHINE. 7 Pixeline 1044 arrays, 8 Martin Mac motorized lights, 6 Elation Impression moving LED lights, a huge projection screen topped off with One Nights custom white pearl dj booth & Laser Envy’s full color laser, made for a mind melting visual experience that had people in awe.
The sound was crushing, bass that you felt but not at such a volume that you couldn’t talk comfortably. The dance floor is HUGE, at least 3x the size of Trinity’s main room, giving ample room for people to actually DANCE. We did what we set out to do, create the ONLY superclub in Seattle, that was on par with the biggest & best clubs in the world.

The music was great, Chris Paape started it off with a set of progressive. I had a great time playing, I had to tone it down a little more than I planned based on my earlier conversation with Josh Gabriel, but it was a great time & people were enjoying it. Josh played a great set, lost of his own new original works, & got the dance floor jumping. Judge Jules came out & laid the smack down. Track after track the dance floor was packed & people were going nuts. He even asked if we could go later because he was having such a great time. His manager AJ said that is pretty rare for him to ask to keep playing. Both Josh & Jules said they had a great time & were really impressed with SHINE. Jules said it was by far the best show of this US tour.

May 1st Seattle will SHINE. We have another amazing event in store with dance music legend, Matt Darey & one more massive headliner to be confirmed. Rake fighters will again be providing an unmatched stage design that is sure to blow you away. So mark your calendars, you won’t want to miss the next SHINE, Seattle’s ONLY superclub experience, brought to you by P3E & ONE.

My review for this is.....WOW, When is the next one......

[julian5385]

I cant say anything else...It was so amzing to see this come alive here in seattle

I suggest buying your tickets now for the next one. The word of mouth for these Shine shows will easily produce a sell-out for May 1st IMO.

I was only able to pop in for a little bit - enough to catch Josh Gabriel's brilliant, BRILLIANT set - but I actually got vertigo when I walked around the corner and took in the scene last night. The feeling was the same as if climbing the staircase in my own house and thinking theirs an extra step at the top but there isn't. It was still my city - but it never struck me so senseless!

Congratulations to ONE, P3E, Rakefighters, and Seattle. Everyone is all grown up now :-)

Oh and happy birthday to Erick, Darren, and Josh!!

[DJ Chronus]

Incredible! I walked in the door and my jaw hit the floor. Phase 3 and ONE delivered on everything they promised and then some. WOW.

And I will repeat what I told MarQ last night: "This is better than the Showbox (at the Market)" and that's saying a lot as I've always loved that venue.

[gamertag]

: "This is better than the Showbox (at the Market)" and that's saying a lot as I've always loved that venue.

That is exactly what my wifey said.. This place reminds us as a Showbox but ten times better.. Can't wait till May!

All videos are updated. Some is still uploading the quality and may take up to a few hours for HD quality.. Enjoy and relive the moment of the 1st SHINE... :D

[ViennaSt]

This review is from the perspective of someone who came to SHINE not connected personally to the event planners, promoters, or DJs—just as a fan of Jules. I came in and spent 80% of my time dancing, but I was able to retain a few observations I made along the way. The categories are listed no particular order.

Vague two sentence summary: This event served the purpose P3E and O.N.E. was trying to achieve—which is great and is truly a testament to the professionalism and deliberation brought to such a high caliber. My subjective tastes and preference of music/scene/people left me a bit mixed on some things but feelin pretty damn good about the experience for sure.

The Arrival and Door time: No line which was nice but got me worried about attendance. No bullshit patdown or inspection of my wallet. I was treated well by the staff.

The music: It’s why I came. To see the Trance Legend, Jules. I hear him all the time on Radio 1, and am a fan. I like a great mix of trance, hard dance, and techno, which is his fortay, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Jules is Trance through and through.
Throughout the build up to Jule’s set, there were tracks that definitely got me movin but like clockwork there were also breaks that slowed down the music every 10-15 minutes or so. Look, I don’t mind it so much if the music gets airy/spacy every once and again but towards midnight my personal preference dictates that the music/dancing keeps getting harder/faster--a progression throughout the evening. In hindsight, given the demographic that the event catered to the music selection was totally appropriate. This goes for all the DJs.
MarQ…you wrote, “I had a great time playing, I had to tone it down a little more than I planned based on my earlier conversation with Josh Gabriel, but it was a great time & people were enjoying it.” Any chance you could elaborate on why the tone down? Like I said, it sounded great but I gotta admit I was curious why the entire evening of music seemed “toned down” to me. I left after the lights came on at ~1:45 am, which was also during a Linken Park mashup (yeah...unexpected...not gonna dive into that.) Anyway, I noticed in the video Jules was shouting to turn them back off a bit after that :P. Jules is freakin hilarious and has such animated facial expressions that can be seen from the back of the event center. Class Act.

The VIP “experience”: To me there seemed to be little to no difference between the VIP and general admission experience at this event– there was plenty of seating and no bar line for either group. I was a bit disappointed that there was no discount on or complementary drink (ie. water was still full price.) It was an extra $15 after all. To be fair, I spent most of my time on the dancefloor, taking small breaks in the lounge area to have a few drinks throughout the night, so I am not sure if there were any uncheck “perks” that I missed. I suppose if the place had been shoulder to shoulder, the VIP would have really come in handy to save myself some time while standing in lines. If I were to do it over with the same circumstances, I would definitely go with a General Admission ticket.

The Light/Ambiance: Incredible. The lasers, flashing, colored, and motorized spotlights/LEDs that were projecting from the sides and top of the elevated DJ stage made a great focal point for the room. I could tell a LOT of planning went into this event. It showed. The seating areas were chic and comfortable.

Dancefloor & Dancin: This might just be the best dancefloor in Seattle. I went inside and about 5 people were on the dance floor – no biggie, it was early. By the time the headliners were up it was pretty full, as shown by the linked videos. Whoever put powdered chalk on the dancefloor – great thinking! It totally helped with movement. Hired GoGos were a hit among the crowd—well…the dudes that were gawkin seemed to enjoy it and dancing from whoever is always a plus. Multiple scantly clad females do the trick I guess. I was lovin the disco guy up front and center earlier in the night. He ruled. It was sweat how every seating area (3 total) was a great vantage point of the dance floor. There was plenty of room to move about all night.

The Crowd, aka “The Scene”: I’ll probably be the most critical here--but dammit, I gotta be honest. I was definitely feelin the Seattle freeze. It’s a scene that I have always referred to as the “Belltown crowd.” They are a breed which is more mature, usually dressed to the nines, some attractive people for sure… but can be vanilla and pretentious. It was like someone took the occupants of Amber + Twist + Copper Cart + Seasound on a bad night + etc and horded them together for this event. It was proly 70% male, males with either a chip on their shoulder or those that were tryin to “play it cool.” Too cool to get up on that dancefloor. Too cool to smile and give some form of movement to the amazing trance that’s playin in their ears. ARG--It was such a well thought out and executed event. Delivered on everything-the setting, the music. But I still ask why? Why doesn’t Seattle have the masses (err, or type of people?) to support this scene the way it deserves! Like I said earlier, when I got in there was hardly anyone on that emaculate dancefloor and a ton of people just “lookin cool” at the bars. Would this change with a different venue/with different promoters – my guess is probably not. It seems as though Seattle is just cool enough/large enough to get these big names but just doesn’t have enough I-don’t-even-know-what-to-call-it (attitude/enthusiasm towards this music?) to provide hundreds and hundreds of enthusiastic, participants (people that dance/know the music/are fun—not just extra bodies) to these events. With all that said, I’m so SO relieved to hear that Jules and all the other DJs were enjoying themselves. I know I enjoyed dancin to it!

And done…overall net positive experience for sure. I could have done with a more enthusiastic population dancing around me, but who gives a shit. I had fun! And it was a KILLER execution by P3E and O.N.E. Cheers to you guys!

[Aksion]

Way to go P3E for having a leap of faith in Seattle and doing what it takes to give Seattle something really special.
Looks like it was top notch as expected.

ViennaSt.- Love the detailed review. Good or bad, it's important for people to understand what constructive criticism is. And while you didnt mince your words, you made it clear that quality of the show was more important than the people around you. :)
I used to feel this way about the dnb scene. I loved the music/shows but didnt vibe well with the dark/elitist crowd. So what I did was get all the info for upcoming shows and found people/friends like me who I could get to come and hang out, thus creating new circles of peeps who now enjoy dnb 24/7. I also would either help the promoters flyer or suggest places they should start flyering, so they could start getting a more diverse crowd to come out. Oh and also forwarding mixes to friends with plenty of time in advance, is a great way to get people pumped up, especially if they have never heard it before.
So what I'm saying is, take this wave of momentum and feel free to do what you think it takes to reach the people you think it's missing. (Not just addressed to you, but to anybody who wants to see what they love, develop into something more).
No 1 person can do this alone, but if everyone did, then things would be bigger and better.

[MarQ]

Well, in my case I met with Josh earlier and we talked about what he wanted to start with. 128 bpm, was where he wanted to start, & asked that didn't play anything too over the top or banging before him. As a dj who tries to respect the headliners, I did as I was asked & changed around my set. I was planning on playing the new BT - Every Other Way, for example but after talking with Josh I thought it would be too much for before him. So I just toned it down from 130 that I was going o play to 126, & pull some of the more aggressive tracks.

Now since not everyone’s tastes are the same, we booked Josh with Jules to give the night diversity. Josh has a great mellow progressive sound that we felt would complement Jules more aggressive style & appeal to a broader audience. This is the format we plan to follow for the next event as well, we have Matt Darey who is progressive house & we are working on a more aggressive trance dj to have after him.

As for the VIP, had we be closer to capacity for the venue the extra VIP bars/seating would have been more important. We can defiantly look in to free water or something for VIPs. It’s something we have to be careful with because it can easily be abused. We wanted there to be seating for both our VIP’s & GA guests. The difference was in the quality of the seating. The GA had the carpeted benches, & bar stools. The VIP lounge had padded seats, tables & bar stools, the reserved VIP had couches & end tables.

This club. This night. This Experience has been a very long time in the making -- it's been nearly a decade of traveling the globe to some of the best parties and venues the world has to offer, taking notes and contemplating how to bring it locally. We tried to incorporate all the things we loved, and correct all of the things we disliked from little clubs to massive ones in the major cities both domestic and international. We took on a very ambitious challenge by the nut sack and made it our bitch. I couldn't be any more proud of what we accomplished for the premier of Shine and I'm giddy like a school girl with anticipation for what is in store for Seattle on May 1st.

While I've been involved behind the scenes with P3E & ONE for this event for a couple of months, Saturday was the first time I'd even stepped my "graver" boot inside 131 Taylor Street. Like ViennaSt mentioned, I was a little concerned when there was no line at the door. I assumed this was either a testament to the fact there was no free-cop-a-feel, er um, I mean search that other "events" provide as a free service, or the fact that it was only 10pm -- and we all know that the beautiful people won't be caught dead at a club before 11:30pm. :p More than likely though it was because we had just had two weeks prior of some of the best talent in the world: ATB, PVD, Darude and Morgan Page plus Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday as well! That's some pretty stiff competition for two weeks prior.

I was first taken aback at how huge the entry way was. The host greeted me and took me to my table (disclosure: yes, I did pay full price for it, in case you think I'm tainted). Walking across the dance floor took like 15 seconds! That doesn't sound like much, but you walk in a line for 15 seconds and see how far you end up! I think VIP even has a different zip code than the main entrance -- it's that huge of a club. Security were there doing what any good security should do: be out of the way, be helpful and courteous and guard my shitz. Since I was the last to arrive of my table-mates, the waitress brought us over our champagne and poured us our glasses. There was a nice printed reservation sign with our names on it, on the table too. I loved how the tables were very spacious and UNLIKE Miami or Vegas where you literally get a tiny-ass itty bitty Ikea table and pay $1000, this was a good size with brand new leather couches (white stitching was a nice touch to match the white table cloths). Very classy. Very comfy. Very posh.

Next it was time to mingle. It was awesome to see so many friends and "family". I can tell you that the 14 VIP tables we had sold out rather quickly as soon as the event was announced; I've heard from MarQ that pretty much everyone of those people has not only said they want their table for the next event, but to just put it on lockdown (myself included) and make it "my" table for EVERY event. So, while that's great for all of us who got them, those who didn't and want one may have to wait till one of us with a table dies and leaves it to you in our will or something (like a rent-controlled apartment in NYC hahah!). The other option we're looking into is trying to figure out how to squeeze in more tables -- the challenge is doing it in such a way that the 'new' tables have the same A++ experience as the existing ones. We don't want to compromise quality for quantity -- that's not at all what Shine is about or will ever be about.

People kept buying me drinks all night, so I can't comment on the prices, but nobody was complaining or balking at the price. I do know the drinks were tasty and strong but not too strong (that can ruin your night real quick too). There was some confusion if you could use a credit card or not and open tabs. Hells-to-the-yeah you could. We'll have to make that more clear. I guess people are used to those half-assed cash-only bars that some promoters have in their so-called VIP areas. The bartender was very nice and fast. We never waited at our VIP bar for a single drink and there was never a line. I went to the same bar like 4 times and the main GA bar once towards the end and had the same quality service.


The vibe was awesome. Everyone was glowing and dressed up and really representing. It was quite refreshing to go somewhere and NOT hear a single negative comment about anything! I think people just knew they were experiencing the birth of a new era. A new level of what to expect in Seattle and they're not going to settle for anything less.

I do remember several people commenting that if you do the basic algebra, it was $300/table or $50/person (seats 6). Now, what did YOU pay for PVD last week ($50 I believe per ticket before the ticket-master-raping-charge of $16 right)? ...and what exactly did you get for that? Oh right. You got to STAND in the fucking BACK of the Showbox SoDo on some cement floor, corralled in by metal fences like a cow after being cavity searched with a dry rubber glove (like the criminal you are), and WAIT in a line while at a bar that was SHARED with the 21+ people next to you. Yeah, that's an awesome VIP "experience" -- not unlike masturbating with a cheese grater -- or you could go to the upper level and watch the stage through open garage doors. fun. ...Oh didn't go to PVD? Well, how about any USC/Freaknight event... Where is the VIP area? That's right, it's in the back, outside the main room where you can't see dick, or it's shoved on the side with some stand-up tables you have to basically fight for to obtain. No thanks. Just a little "things that make you go hmmmmm...." Normally I'd say that, "someone needs to step up their game", but honestly I don't care anymore. It's sort of like watching the Titanic sink if you catch my meaning (yeah, I'm deep like that). I think my man Roddy Piper said it best... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp_K8prLfso

[DAE51D]

Visually, the stage was simply astonishing. $100,000.00 worth of lighting and gear. Plasma screens. Full color lasers and animations. It was truly breath-taking, especially once the night started to peak (IYKWIM). Certainly an E-ticket attraction and well worth the cover charge at any level. Again, on par with the best USC shows (I give USC credit as their visuals are usually pretty great), however to be fair O.N.E. DOES most of the visual setup for USC so it only makes sense they would bring their exceptional talents in stage setup/design to Shine. Rake Fighters (aka Eric) pulled out all the stops and even topped his outstanding setup he had for WhiteOut7 @ King Kat a few months back. I might just have to wear a condom to the club to contain the visual orgasm that will be the next Shine, or I might inadvertently blow my load all over the dance-floor... so to speak. :eek: TMI?

Sonically, it was pure aural pleasure (get it!)... The sound was clear and the bass was booming, but not too much like when you're at LSC and the speaker is about to make your ear bleed. You could have a normal conversation. Sadly I missed Chris Paape's set, we did try to get there in time to catch some of it. MarQ's set was banging at first like he said, and then he brought it down a notch. I REALLY loved the visuals that were going on behind him: sort of these red/yellow/orange starbursts (not the candy) with his name in a cool font. I took a video of it even. Then Josh Gabriel came on, midway through his set, I could wait no more and had to get out and dance. I'm not sure how many people were out there too, because I was right in front, but I do remember having to "squeeze" through people, so clearly there were enough to make it a great vibe on the floor. He seemed very into the crowd and kept looking at us, when he wasn't singing along with his eyes closed. HAHA! You know that's a sign of a man who loves his job and the tracks he's playing. Last but not least was my brother from another mother (we have the same birthday!), Julesey! His reputation precedes him in every way shape and form. He is truly a God amongst this scene and like Midas, whatever he touches turns to gold. He's the reason I went to Ibiza Spain. He's the reason I went to Gatecrasher in the U.K. He put Sandstorm on the map IMHO, and Radio 1 and Manchester and basically we pretty much owe him a nod of respect. "ALL RISE!" "JUDGE RULES!" (maybe you saw that on my Skyliner?) He brought his wife Amanda for this event. I've met her only a few times, once in Ibiza and once at a FreakNight a few years back. It is very rare for her to come here, and she was having a blast. So much in fact that they all came to our hotel after party and kicked it for a while -- another rarity as Jules often has to get some sleep as he could be 8,000 miles away the next day in some other foreign country. A testament to what was said earlier and just lending credence to the fact that it was no bullshit.

Did some things not go exactly as planned? sure they did. That's what differentiates a professional production company (well two actually) from the amateurs. Did we learn from them and will they be corrected for next time -- you bet your binky they will be. Did we have more ideas than mere mortals could implement in the few weeks we had to act -- hells yeah -- and you will see them come to fruition at each new Shine event. But the feedback we've received from everyone has been overwhelmingly positive. I've yet to hear a single major complaint or incident. We'd love to hear your ideas for improvement as well. Bottom line is that Shine is THE ultimate super club experience that Seattle has ever seen, and quite possibly will ever see. We can only go up from here. To all the other complacent clubs, better hang on to your milkshake as we're thirsty bitches! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHpM5US2HDs

In all seriousness, as this thread and anyone who attended can attest to, you need to get your presale tickets early for the May 1st event. ATB sold out at LSC, PVD sold out at SoDo, Infected Mushroom and Kaskade both sold out at Showbox Market. We're coming up on spring real soon here, and everyone is coming out of hibernation.

If you missed this one, well now you know what you missed and will just have to make up for it next time.
Thank you everyone for coming, it was as much throwing it as it was attending it.

[Solar_Signal]

we have Matt Darey who is progressive house & we are working on a more aggressive trance dj to have after him.

I say for more aggressive... Mark Sherry is one NOT to be missed. ;)
I dunno if you guys have looked into him..... but it would be awesome if we brought him to Seattle.


As for the review for Shine.... pretty much a lot has been covered.
I had a great time.. Got there a little early.... Not many people.... But its the club scene.... Dosent start filling till 10 30ish haha

I L O V E how you guys re vamped this venue... Holy shit... It looked AMAZING!
The sound was just right... the lighting was top notch....the floor and vip sections.... everything came together and looked liked it belonged. Gave a real nice vibe and overall just a mind blowing experience.

Josh was great... loved his set... and was soooo happy when he dropped Deep Down. Its one of my all time fav tracks now.

Jules... XD wow... Ive been wanting to see him for a while now... and boy did he impress me =]

MarQ... I ALWAYS love your sets... Toned down or not... the way you build them is just right to keep the vibe going.

I know Marks manager, but he is more fitting for a smaller event like LSC or a rave. For Shine we are looking for the superstars because that is what it will take to fill that huge venue!!!

[Solar_Signal]

Im sure Mark could draw the numbers ;)

Either way tho... Im sure whoever you bring will be a treat =D

lol haha

[bsweet]

Maybe bring someone who isn't a trance dj?

Curious about this venue, and while I have my moments of liking trance it doesn't really excite me too much. There may be "masses" who don't mind paying a lot for UK trance, but there are many groovers like myself who couldn't give a damn about it.

well that is why we are booking 2 styles a night...
Josh Gabriel - progressive house
Judge Jules - Trance

Matt Darey is Progressive house/tech house, so we likly will double him up with a trance dj.

[Cethe]

One Night Events

[jDMJeRk]

So I've had this FireFox tab opened for a about a week now trying to complete my review lol. I decided to actually sit down and finish it today... Here goes: :D

As usual, I hyped myself all up for this event. I haven't seen Josh Gabriel in years and missed Judge Jules at FN a couple years back if I remember correctly. :rolleyes:

I was staying at the Best Western with two virigins to the Seattle night life eletronica scene. We brought our alcohol to prefunk at the hotel and kept a close eye at the line. I never once saw a line... 10:30 roles around and I realize Josh is probably coming on soon and we should head out.

Once we walked across the street, the will call line was still non existent. They asked my last name, stamped my hand and my friends and off to the door guy we went. My friends IDs were vertical (they just turned 21 last month) and had no issues getting in. Security managed to even wish them a happy late birthday.

After we arrived inside, MarQ was on the decks. I personally enjoyed the rest of his set but I think the scenery wasn't enough to impress the new comers I brought with me. An empty dance floor, no waiting in line out side, no waiting in line for a drink inside and never waiting in line to use the restroom - didnt seem like this LARGE empty club was going to become the elbow-to-elbow club like I described to them when I saw Digweed last at Trinity.

Once Josh came on, I definitely was feeling good; the music was great, the crowd was starting to really move!. A few Coronas ($5/ea) and I was already moving on the dance floor (which doesn't happen often :P). The new comers wanted to go back to the hotel to get a couple more cheap drinks in with no idea what they were leaving (or coming back to for that matter).

I don't recall when the girls came back from the hotel but it changed the night completely. They couldn't believe what they saw. Finally all my 'hype' about the event started to slowly come true. We lingered towards the front of the venue right in front of Jules. I was content, with my arms crossed enjoying myself. Judge Jules even thought he would mock me and stood their with this arms crossed. He managed to get me to start moving again with a big huge grin:D

When it was all said and done and I woke up 5 minutes late for checkout, I realized this is probably one of the best venues I've been too. And does it really matter that there wasn't a line for entry, drinks, bathroom, etc? Absolutely not! Shine had their shit under control. We (or at least I) always complain about lines, prices, staffing, security, etc and for once there wasn't anything to complain about!

I still miss Element and definitely have seen some of my favorite shows there but this venue is probably 10x as big as Element could ever be. With only a one real big event down, there's destined to be 100s more down the road. I'm definitely, looking forward to a awesome 2010 and new promising night club!

Nice work P3E & ONE

PS The "new comers" can't wait till next time :cool:

Hands down the best club venue in Seattle!! Great job guys on a great show!! Tracy and I had 7 drinks (5 beers and 2 club sodas) and it came to $26 bucks...thats a deal!! Who ever missed this event missed out on a huge production!! Chris, MarQ, Josh G., and Judge Jules had the place going off!!! The lighting inside was like being back in Miami!! All i can say is WOW!! I can't wait for the next one...Shine is something not to be missed!!

Great finally a place where I can enjoy teh super anthem trance dj's that top the "who gives a fuck best dj in the world" retard list every year. In a "super" club that looks like a bad movie, where you can be a "VIP" in a sea of shiny shirt douchebags. Congratulations to Seattles own corner of jersey shore.

Nice pics of you and your "bro's"
Ease up on the douch look next time yea?

You might actually enjoy the night ;)

[DAE51D]

And props to MarQ for just letting him say his piece and leaving it at that and not getting crazy defensive! This is a perfect example of how this website should work.
Yeah, I'm not as graceful or forgiving.

You're kind of a douchebag huh? You do realize NONE of those pictures are from Shine -- of course you do...

Why are you such a hater? And a coward -- you have 5 posts. Clearly this is a fake account you setup just to post this bullshit. :confused:

Maybe you're just jealous because you got rejected by one of those steroid popping guys in your pictures and are lashing out? Maybe you're just jealous that someone is making Seattle into the (club) city it should have been for years and you're afraid that you'll be even less of a nobody than you are now and slip deeper into irrelevance?

If I ever find out who you are you little anonymous coward, I will ruin you. You will be black-listed and NEVER get into another club or party in this town again. Trust me, I have that much influence. Why don't you post under your real account like a man (or woman)? You piece of shit loser.

You piece of shit loser. ok i agree with you on this but real talk here. aint no way you, me or anyone else that can actually black list someone from every club in seattle, nor would club owners give a shit about someone who uses a fake account to post bullshit pics on a website. sorry thats just reality but either way we should all be laughing at how much him/or her is the actual doucher. nice pics tho i found them to be pretty funny.

[ViennaSt]

Abusername is trolling and snatching pics from the Hotchickwithdouchebags website to use as flamebait... Is there a moderator out there who can delete Abusername's unrelated-to-the-event postings?

Since when are you the club/rave Godfather of Seattle?? :rolleyes:

I gotta agree with goner about this one. I already flagged Abusername as a troll to admin and maybe that account will be shut down. But seriously, talking some shit and posting goofy pictures on a website is not enough to get blacklisted from any club or party. Maybe if said person shows up and acts like a complete asshole maniac, that would be enough to be booted from one event, but even that that wouldn't be enough to be blacklisted from EVERY SINGLE THING going on!

Clearly you don't know who I am. ;)

I'm pretty sure if I asked LSC, Trinity, Shine, SSL or any of the other electronic clubs to not let a specific person in and explained to them why, I would get their support. And I'm equally sure that if I were to talk to MarQ or Beefer or TapTap or Next Level or USC or any of the other guys that throw raves/parties, they would also do the same. Now, would this "anonymous" person get in the front door -- probably if they were determined -- but once inside, if I saw them, I'm sure I could have them removed and then the bouncers would remember their face for "next time".

So this tool better pray to God that I never find out who they are...

If I may quote my friend 50, "...When I roll twenty deep, there's twenty 9's in the club..." I'm just sayin' :cool:

I'm just sayin' :cool: lol obviously i dont. and obviously i really dont care either but really ive known all these same promoters you just name dropped and honestly (oh and i was a promoter for many years in seattle myself) none of who you named including myself is gonna give a shit about 1 kid who is up on a public forum talking shit. ive seen this kind of bs from other kids with troll accounts over and over and over and over again through out the years and aint no one ever done shit. are you saying that if you knew who this kid is that you would personally go around and waste energy on some kid everytime he or she showed up to a party? i sure wouldnt and i know alot of other promoters that wouldnt care to waste the energy. shit i feel like im wasting energy just talking about this person with you lol

by all means im not doubting who you are or who you know but the reality of it that promoters got bigger shit to be dealing with then some kid trashing a night on nwtekno.

Well, aren't you special? :rolleyes: Again, I gotta agree with goner in that "obviously i don't and obviously i really don't care either".

All I care about is dancing as much as I can. That is all.

[Abusername]

Dissent is not trolling. Anyone with half a brain could tell those were not really pics from the event and apologies to the promoter if I caused any confusion. That being said my original post is my valid opinion even if its not popular. LOL @ DAE51D! Thank you for making yourself look like just the kind of idiot I posted about in my fake pics. I love your "do you know who i am" chest thumping bravado. Newsflash you are not special and you are obviously an idiot no matter how well connected you are. Don't cry yourself to sleep tonight Fitty.

Oh and thanks to the posters with a sense of humor.

what's funny is there is a sense of seriousness in this post, but i gotta ask, you don't actually believe that do you?


I wasn't at the event, but I read all sorts of event reviews because I'm curious as to how peoples events do, and I was curious to see how this one did and that post caught my eye.


I'm glad the event went well though, it's always a risk trying something new but it looks like the venture was a positive one.

[QUOTE=MarQ;2587075][QUOTE=Solar_Signal;2587071]I say for more aggressive... Mark Sherry is one NOT to be missed. ;)
I dunno if you guys have looked into him..... but it would be awesome if we brought him to Seattle.
[QUOTE]

I know Marks manager, but he is more fitting for a smaller event like LSC or a rave. For Shine we are looking for the superstars because that is what it will take to fill that huge venue!!![/Q
Dude! If you get Mark Sherry down here... holy shit!! Im there :O)
