This competition will go on for a while up through Christmas. The Dj's will spin 45 minute sets. It will be a very dark ambient atmosphere in the Ballroom. We are going to call the night R.I.P. (retro in peace). I know that's a little cheesy but the idea is that it will be a retro night where goths can go and dance, hang out, whatever, in their own little world without any issues, problems, distractions, etc. There will be minimal lighting and some creepy decor is being planned as well. We will probably in the beginning have the DJ's battle it out with 4 per night until things settle down. However, we will have guest DJ's from time to time. There will be one night in November that we will not be doing this night as there is another Collective thing planned on the 27th I believe. Some months, there will be 3 Saturdays that we will do the event. I hope in the future to have an every week thing going on but this will depend on the crowd. My advice to the DJ's would be to keep the dance floor going, create the atmosphere, think old Lab/Ascension Uk days. My friends, it is all going to come back and it will be at the Leland. Let us all work together on this to make it a special night. Stay positive and enthusiastic about this. The more people we have come out for this, the more we will be able to do with the Ballroom for future events. And the good thing is that this will be a good balance for what is being played in the main CC room. The Collective themed events will tie in with the bands that we have playing each month. Sometimes, we may not have bands play. Gothic music is a pretty broad spectrum of different sounds and moods. Many people don't realize that. We can have all of that in the Ballroom but you have to encourage people to come out all the time. I also want through numbers to be able to pay our DJ's better because I think they deserve it. Why do I care so much? When I first moved to Michigan I had a difficult time adjusting to the city and making friends. The regular crowd at the Lab during the Resurrection days helped me to deal with a lot of things in my own personal life. It was a place to escape a personal refuge. And we may have made fun of what was played sometimes, but the crowd was positive and fun. PEOPLE WERE RESPECTFUL. Some of my Collective people want to throw in more variety but enough already with that. We need consistency, that is more people coming out all the time, not so much variety. That can come in time and with bigger and better shows. The fetish community have several venues to do their thing. The goth community not so much. The Leland has been around for years and that won't change. Please help me make this event fun for all. Help support the DJ's who have quite the challenge and work cut out for them. Come see the bands and cheer them on for entertaining you. Ok, I will get off my soapbox. Lets do this!

I will be contacting the DJ's soon about spinning for the R.I.P. events. The first event will be September 25th with Scary Guy and DJ Aaron Hingst. This will also be the CD release party for D:Konstruct as well which will play a 1 hour set around midnight. At this point, there will be 2 maybe 3 events in Oct. I'm still waiting to hear back from CC. Everyone involved will get an equal amount of time spinning for this. My advice to all of you is to get everyone you know coming to this event "all the time". The more people we have in there consistently, the bigger and better this will get. This also means more money for you. My goal is to pay each of you at least $75-100 per night at this point. However, that will depend on the numbers. The Collective will be providing a sound system. In fact, we are in the process of buying a new sound system and decor for the Ballroom for R.I.P. events only. When fliers are made, I will give them to you. It is part of your job to help us promote the event. Sorry for any misspellings. Let me know if I've made any mistakes or forgot someone. Here is a list of the following DJ's that will be spinning in this competition over the next few months:

Scary Guy

Aaron Hingst

Pleazurekitten

Nocker

Hollywood

Plasticz Passion

Joey Deadcat

Deadbeat

Pulse State

Be there opening night if you wanna chat with me more about this or catch me at CC on the 4th and or 10th of Sept.

Good luck guys and I will see you soon! This event is gonna be great!

Change of plans. CC just called me and said that one of the managers had already scheduled Sept. 25th, actually the 24th, 25th, and 26th as Erotica Ball weekend. As a result, we will begin R.I.P. on Oct. 2nd as well as the D:K cd release party. Scary Guy and Aaron Hingst will spin that one. I don't know about the 16th. For October 3oth, we will have Nocker, Joey Deadcat, and Justin Carver. In November, i don't know the dates yet: Hollywood, Plastic Passion, and Pleasure kitten, The first R.I.P. in December will feature Pulse State, and Frequency Mutineers. The new years bash will be everyone in a final spin off. I would encouruge you to attend all of the R.I.P events as well as that will also contribute to who we pick as the regular DJ's for the event. Remember though, we will feature others from time to time. I will post the other dates as soon as Sybil lets me know. If I have missed anything else please let me know.

R.I.P. begins Oct. 2nd

Oct. 30th Halloween bash

Oc.t 16th ? usually we are allowed to only do two events but I'm gonna push the issue since we got bumped from the 25th.

Thanks everyone for your patience and support

Very happy to be back on board for the Devils Night party. It will be even more fun knowing that I will be with a fellow deadline DJ as well as Justin, who should have been a deadline DJ :) We will be sure to bring the fun times.

Thanks Nocker, I will keep that in mind. Oh, Scary Guy will also be with you guys on the 30th. Halloween is gonna be a big night. We may also have Bella Morte, Gothcicles, and possibly Caustic though not sure yet. Studio 54 may also be open and connected to the rest of the club. Sybil wants me to organize the whole night so I'm working on a few things. You guys though will be spinning in the Ballroom for R.I.P. though. I will also set you up in November and December as well. Stay tuned!The Ballroom will also be open an hour later so from 10-4am. The bands will probably only play 45 min sets as I dont wont that getting in the way of the DJ's.

As much as I love Matt and crew, I dunno if the gothsicles/caustic combo work work with the feel you are going for. Bella Morte would though :)

So the team is fully assembled then? Nocker/Deadcat/Carver/Scary?

GET READY TO SHIT BATS! LOL
