PLEASE HELP - decision to make

[slavestudios]

right, i know said i was having nothin more to do with techno (clubwise) but ive been offered a shot at a new venue in belfast.

its gonna be an old club re-furbished with new pa & stage & dj booth & interior.

ive been asked to submit a proposal.

and even though i swore i wasnt doing it again, no one else in belfast will get up off their ass. everyone one else jus sits in a pub moaning or plays the same old acid techno from 95. theres been nothing new here techno wie since i pulled my night almost a year ago.

i have friends who will come aboard & back me. almost like a 'board of directors' type thing.




but i swear i dont know what to do.. i said i would NEVER do this again, but i know if i dont at least try, theres no chance of decent techno.

new venue opens about september. what do i do ?????

i know i havent made many pals here (lol) but this is about the non-existent techno scene in NI, not my ego lol

sound simple but get a piece of paper and write down two columns. 'why its a good thing to do' vs 'why its a bad thing to do'. then just compare what you've written to what you want out of your life right now.

but the way I think about it is if its not emotionally or financially damaging to you or your friendships then what's not to do? even if you make no money its a free night out and lots of laydees, pimpdaddy. and there's also the contribution you would make to bringing proper music back to Belfast.

just do it..... theres definately space if theres fuk all happening.

theres a few new heads down here doin gigs (i was never organised enough), but i could pass you their email and you could split costs if your nights didnt clash.

inigo just rocked it for them last saturday. not as busy as i would have liked but if he was rockin it up your end the night before/after, im sure everyone would be happier!!
