Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to say anything negative about anything, especially since you don't do it! Please forgive me.

Everyone complains that there is never anythng to do in this town, and finally when someone decides to step up and make something happen they get shit all over because the flyer sucks,or the DJ name sucks, or they dont like they way he looks, or the text or font on the flyer sucks, or the prices are too high or too low.
"Everyone complains" and "finally someone decides to step up" - Wow, this is such an original statement. EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING ALL THE TIME, AND FINALLY WE HAVE A HERO COME SAVE US FROM OUR WOES!
If the flyer sucks, it sucks. If the dj's name sucks, it sucks. If you charge two different prices for girls and guys, that's fucked.
Don't expect everyone to kiss your ass just because you're trying to do something "positive" for "the scene". Not everyone does everything great the very first time... I personally think it's very important to know what people are thinking about "small things" like the flyers. The flyers are used to promote the event. It's advertising. Do you think the ads on tv or in magazines or whatever come easy? There's a lot of work put into it, so if you're going to use flyers, you should make them appealing. You should use good font, you should make it legible, you should make it appealing to the eye, you should make it create an attitude of "i wanna check this out" from the consumer.
If you're just doing it for the music... then just have plain flyers. There doesn't need to be any flashy shit if it's just about the music.
Oh wait, but you need people to go, right? It's a waste of your time and the artists time if they come out to play and no one comes. So, hmm... maybe the flyers should be well done and maybe the event should be promoted well. Maybe it should be respectable, too. To reiterate what I've said over and over, charging guys a higher cover [$7] and girls a lower cover [$5] is fucked up. That's not fair. If it's about the music, shouldn't it be the same price [at least for the 21+]? I understand charging more for minors since they can potentially be a bigger risk. But what about the music man? Why do guys have to pay $2 more to see the same show? What's up with that?

Come on now the party is only $5 bucks, we didnt mean for people to start taking out loans, or pimping themselves out on the street corner just so that they could get in. God forbid we have to pay $5 just to get in.
Excuse me, did the prices change? Is it $5 for everyone now? I remember reading $7 for 21+ guys, $5 for 21+ girls, and $10 for minors!
God forbid anyone pay any amount of money for some shit they don't wanna see/hear.
Or is it some charity event now? Oh, it's only $5
for 21+ girls! Whether you wanna come or not, you should come! Because it's only $5
for 21+ girls!!
