Blowout Party: Glow: Naughty Neon 2
I knew Naughty Neon was going to be huge, but I didn't expect what went down last weekend to actually go down. Original Brooklyn and NYCR had been promoting like crazy for this party. The lineup was insane, this was a new venue to be used, and they packed as much fun side goodies as possible. In the end, most people had an amazing time at the party, although it might have gotten to big for the production crews to handle.
The table was set for a massive party. The party was being thrown in a brand new venue for events, the Cultural Performing Arts Center of Brooklyn. The actual building had one main room with two floors, and an out side that sported three tents of music, a food kiosk, and a bouncy castle. It was huge! As for attractions you had four different DJs spinning at any given time, a bouncy castle, the food, three different UV body painters, a massage table (Batman and Jolly Green), Electrik Graffiti (scoodies, LED gloves, party toys), and two other vendors with chachkies and some cool hats and clothes. To me, it seemed kinda silly to have so many different body painters there. But, with the mass amount of people I guess it made sense. One guy seemed a little stingier than the rest sporting a "work for gratuity" sign, but one that stated you had to pay first, and don't expect anything special for a dollar. I'd just head over to see Pixel doing his thing cause I know he'll go all out regardless of the tip I give.
Anyone Down to Read an Essay at the Rave? By: Paus3
The music was insane! This was the first event I had to put in ear plugs it was so intense. My favorite sets included X-Dream, Lisa Lashes and the three minutes of DJ Isaac. By the time X-Dream came onto the main stage, there must have been 800 people in the house. The entire room was jumping, this event was more like a concert than any party I've been to before. The lighting system was eh. They had the same set up on stage as Pussy Power with the LED rings and four moving heads. What did get me was the projections all over the room, there were some pretty cool things flying around!
There were people from all over the country and even different parts of the world! Party kids were coming in from all over to see their favorite DJs spinning and to party hard in Brooklyn. The mass amount of people that showed up is a large part to making this party success. The promotions done were heavy and successful, but production was not ready to this volume. The line to get into the spot took up the entire block. And this was not a single file line at all. By the time 1,000 people were inside, there was still probably about 200 waiting outside. 2am came along, DJ Isaac started to blow the house up, and then the cops shut him down when Bitches came on.
Now, parties get shut down, but there were a lot complaints on facebook right after the party shut down. People felt they were cheated out of their money, others felt they were taken advantage of by the door security, and some didn't get what they were promised for being VIPs there. Although all legitimate complaints, NYCR and Original Brooklyn were doing all they could to make their largest event to date work as they planned.
A couple days ago they released an official response to the happenings that night, and to tell you the truth, I'm super f'in excited to the NEON-R3W1ND. Apparently they spoke to Irene and Isaac's managements and they are both down to come and do it again! Don't hold it against the promoters, it happens. Part of it has to do with planning yes, but part of it has to do with raver responsibility, so party hard, but party smart. After the party was shut down, a number of ravers went back to the familiar Electric Warehouse (The Lab) and continued the party there till 8am!
I had a blasty blast selling at Electrik Graffiti's tent as well as running around taking pictures. I didn't get to give more than one light show though...however it was super awesome to see so many glovers come out to play! So many people came and bought glove sets for themselves, and there were a bunch of uber cute and awesome scoodies that were picked up as well!
