I was on the Brooklyn bound number 4 train a few days ago thinking about a topic to write about for my next Blog entry. As usual, a number of topics came to mind, but I could not narrow it down to just one. After a few minutes of debating on which topic to choose, my mind drifted to a few unpleasant experiences I had while attending dancehall events. Surprisingly, those experiences had nothing to do with over priced entrance fees or sound-men excessively using profanity. It had a lot to do with the unprofessional behavior of nightclub management and their staff when handling matters concerning promoters and party-goers. Continue reading →

Dancehall: Grandma Behaving Badly on Camera
Have you ever watched clips of dancehall events on Youtube and felt embarrassed by the actions of a selected few of party-goers? Well, you are not alone.
The other day I came across a few clips of dancehall events while browsing Youtube and was amazed by what some females had the decency to say and do on camera. One female, for whatever reason, felt the need to tap her vagina while proudly declaring “it” tight and buff. After which she began to express how much she loves her man and wonderful children. Was she subliminally advertising her goods to attract potential clients? Or is she simply having fun? In another video, a scantily dressed female in her late or mid 50s gave a shout-out to her daughter and grandchildren after declaring herself a “good-ole gal.” Continue reading →

Seven Dos and Don’ts of Being a Party Promoter
The misconception that many promoters have is that having a popular name, flashy promotional flyer and celebrity headliner is enough to sell tickets. Contrary to that belief, promoting a success party requires a lot of planning, networking, sleepless nights, dedication, and most importantly, attention to details. The underlining reason why a lot of events are not successful is because they allow personal and other insignificant things to serve as a distraction. That is why, their main objectives should be to: maximize earning potential, create a following of “happy campers” and establish a reputation that is associated with quality events.

Not All Webmasters Are Created Equal
For those of you who may not know, a webmaster is someone that handles the day-to-day technical operation of a website. His or her primary responsibilities typically includes: responding to emails, fixing technical errors, implementing new features, updating content and making sure that members abide by the website’s terms and conditions. Those daily responsibilities complete the 24 Hours workload for most webmasters, but unfortunately some are neglecting their obligations by using their websites as a platform to spread rumors, and attempt to belittle or tarnish the reputation of partygoers, and promoters.And to make matters even more disturbing, some have resorted to threatening to inflict physical harm on people that might have rubbed them the wrong in person or over the grape vine. Behaviors like those are not only sad and upsetting, but the total opposite to what webmasters/bloggers such as myself and countless others would view as anything other than being counterproductive.
