Re: Well, we have 1/2 the info..

I'm forcing all of my "team" to come out to it. And if I end up playing, they won't have a choice...unless they want me to shit on their coats.

ok, who shit on the coats?

Do we really *need* 2 nights of 6 hours of techno? Some of us are not on X, guys...

I understand what you are saying, but it is unfair to classify all of the music under the name "techno". There are usually many different styles present even if most of them are electronically generated.

Furthermore, the type of environment at the "B&W" is not all that common. You can maybe find an atmosphere like that that once every month of so (assuming you live in a large city). At least, that has been my experience.

Having said that, I don't spend much time at the ball. I go to over 200 shows a year (of various geners) ... DefCon is something of a vacation from music for me.

Troll more plz. There's a certain atmosphere in a "club" environment, and playing Zepp doesn't work so well.

Re: Well, we have 1/2 the info..

I'm confused. The main page says "Top of the Riv for neverending DJ action and the Black & White Ball. Party all night (and day) above the strip."

So besides the B&W ball...there will still be a party going on?

Re: Well, we have 1/2 the info..

I'm really honored that I'm on the DJ list again, I didn't know about that since nobody asked me.
But I can't make it to Defcon this year unfortunately due to time and money shortage
Hopefully I'll be able to make it next year.

Not this DefCon, sorry. I'd love to be there, but it's not working out this year.

Did you even look at the lineup? I have a hard time seeing how anyone can classify Minibosses as "techno".

I personally find it funny and ironic that someone who makes an effort to participate so much in the Forums [alklloyd] is referred to as a troll... If everyone whose opinion I didn't agree with was a troll... well screw it, you'd all be classified as living under bridges [no offense to people who aren't trolls who choose to live under bridges of course ]

When I saw the "troll" accusation, I was going to make an issue of "moderators enforce the rules," then link to Chris' post (since there is a rule that addresses trolling) and then go further and notify the user making the accusation of their use of "sms"-speak ("plz") which is a clear rule violation, that I might have overlooked if the subject of trolling and rule vilations were not brought to my attention.

In the end, It was too much work, so I decided not to do it, but I just did anyway.So that means... dangit.

Though I don't attend the B&W ball, the music Jackalope and others make available online are great contributions. It is good to see a variety of music this year.

true... they are 100% rock with guitars and drums. of course, they play music inspired by other music which was often of the electronic genre... and people who don't know a lot about electronic music started calling everything in the world "techno" in the mid 90s... so by some six-degrees of separation i could see a highly person putting them in that category.

in all seriousness, i'm a bit concerned about the dress code provisions with respect to the minibosses set. lord knows where i was that night last year, but i didn't make it to the party when they played at DC13. i'll be doubly-pissed if i'm actually turned away from the scene this time around because i don't own spiffy club clothes. if i bribe the door goons with booze will have a shot at slipping by?

Well last year it was very last minute, barely announced, and a private party. The bouncers for that party (Ninja Networks?) were huge jerks, too; some of them were getting physically violent with people that were just trying to get back to their nearby-located rooms. The music was okay, but you could tell the Minibosses weren't having fun in the midst of all of this. Ben (of the band) decided he'd never do DefCon again, but I suppose the passing of a year and an official spot in the playlist have changed things.

I asked after this, as well, and it sounds like bink will be cool with you (see the thread).
