- There has been a lot of slandering Mr. Thome Tomato on the net recently. I'm
- wondering why. The last Thom E event was House of Euphoria, which I personally
- thought was a joke, but the same people who were defending Thome's name are now
- disn' him every chance they get.
-
- For me, Thome redeemed himself a couple weeks ago at SONIC which was great,
- IMHO. the space was great, the sound awesome. Interestingly enough, contrary to
- what the flamers have posted: THIS WAS NOT A THOME EVENT, although it had his
- "seal of quality" on it. 'm pretty sure that was all he had to do with it.
-
- Anyway, I thought it was the best event Ohio has yet seen. There were no cops
- (actually the doormen were pretty swift in handleing the ones that tried to
- show up, convincing them that they knew about the laws regarding "private
- parties" since SONIC used the map-point system).
-
- For those of you that missed out because of dissn' Thome or the dissn' thereof,
- you missed a great event.
-
- ABOUT SMILE:
-
- Why is everyone so negative about it. Who cares that Kevy Kev et al isn't going
- to show up. The listed DJs as of yesterday were the ones at SONIC which was
- Kickin: mostly all hardcore especially after 2:00 AM. Besides, Kevy and Mike G
- have to spin at their "real job" that night at CLUB 700. That's probably the
- real reason they aren't doing SMILE.
-
- I'm planning to be there and rave in the New Year. Since it is the only thing
- going besides Club 700 here in Columbutt and Smart Bar in Cleavedland, what are
- all of you dissers doing?
-
- ABOUT REACTOR:
-
- Thome's not putting this one on either. A friend of mine along with a small
- group of promoters from Dayton are responsible. Thome is only spinning at it,
- and only for an hour. They have a great space in a secluded area north of
- Dayton. This proves to be an extremely underground event. The prmotion has
- been limited purposefully so as to keep it quiet enough to be SERIOUS.
- Unfortunately a flyer got posted here in Columbutt at WORLD RECORD, but i
- figure if someone's going to take the time to copy it down, they're at least a
- little committed :).
-
- This event is not a cliquey too-cool-4U event. The promoters only wanted to see
- if they could get a group of serious ravers together to see what would happen
- if they could a large group of people together that will dance together most of
- the time: Y'know -- Unity, an' all that. Lights are going to be minimal, mostly
- strobes, and lots of them, adn a few intellebeams--all designed to help the
- trip in the tradition of the earlier acid-house parties in the UK a la PTV.
- (Actually, SONIC had a lot of strobes and loops that were much more effective
- IMHO than the Intellebeam wars that have been going on as of late.)
-
- Hope to see you there. Anyone who needs info, just write.
-
-
- If anyone knows the poo poo on why everyone's dissin Thome, please bring me up
- to date. I sure hope its more than a bunch of people standing up for their
- hometown DJs who have their own bone to pick with Mr. Tomato.
-
- PEACE
- mic-E-P.
