Rules Discussion
  • PoohbeeziePoohbeezie October 2010

    Since it wouldn't let me reply I am posting my piece here enjoy.

    Ok first of all if Hard is trying to make a pure event about music, why do they still serve alcohol? And why don't they have it during the daytime? Oh wait they tried that and they didn't make any money (Hard Summer). Also the reasoning for the drug enforcement honestly amuses me for a few reasons.

    A. Kids are going to take their drugs prior to entry, odds are they will consume more at once which would be more dangerous then before.

    B. The event still serves alcohol, 1 kid dies from a drug overdose and all the raves are on the verge of being shut down, how many people die from alcohol consumption and drunk driving each year? Yet you still don't have a problem serving alcohol?

    C. No lights? So does that mean that the DJ sets are going to have 1 spot light on the DJ and no other special effects going on during their sets? No. There is gonna be lights and guess why your company is gonna make those lights so cool, whether you want to admit it or not its because lights look cool on drugs. I don't really see what your accomplishing from banning private lights.

    D. Costumes. Since it isn't in any way a rave according to the standards of Hardfest, why can't I be a raver for Halloween? It's not like I dress like that all the time and this year maybe I wanted to be a raver. Your dress code welcomes costumes but thats what raving is. Fact is people don't goto the office with "Kandi" or "Fuzzy boots", its a costume.

    In conclusion I don't think it is Hard's responsibility to be our parents. Thats who is to blame when their 15 year old kid dies from a overdose at a rave that costs $70 to enter. Where are the parents and why aren't their bad guidances being paraded about as much as your attempts to act as if your events are solely about the music.

  • KcNekroKcNekro October 2010

    Hard summer failed in 09 this is 2010, your way too late too use that one. Drug inforcement is something all event cooridnators are suppused to do, whether drugs get in or not it's just part of the responsibility when throwing large events.

    A. Yeah that's gonna happen (most) kids are desperate.

    B. It is what it is (alcohol isn't made out of crack and poison)

    C. Very funny (no not really). Have you never been to a hard fest? There's more than lights, there's live visual shows (vj's if that's what you want to call it).

    D. LMAO good one. Do something more original

    In conclusion I truely am sorry to hear how dissapointed you are but there is more going on behind the stage for you to understand why certain rules have to be implemented.

  • PoohbeeziePoohbeezie October 2010

    You didn't even begin to touch anything that I just said. Sure the costume remarks are more for fun but what about the rest of the questions? Hardfest was cancelled because no one bought tickets. Remember the one scheduled in July with M.I.A. headlining? And exactly how many people went to Hard summer? Personally I am not worried about drugs, so please don't categorize me. I am simply pointing out the facts.

  • KcNekroKcNekro October 2010

    I touched it all I even categorized it from exhibit A - D. If your not worried about the drugs why did you post "Also the reasoning for the drug inforcement amuses me for a few reasons."

    if your not worried then why post that part of the thread in the first place?

    You have more exagerated facts and personal opinions than actuall facts.

    Like I said, there's more going on behind stage then you know.

    Go throw an event (not a house party) and maybe you'll understand what I'm saying.

  • JoshJosh October 2010

    @Poohbeezie

    Did you attend HARD Summer this year? The event sold well since it was pretty full.

    I don't see why not? It's legal and you have to be 21+ to purchase alcohol. I fail to understand how alcohol can be compared to drugs. Aside from if anything happens to you, its on you since you're old enough (18+) to know what's right from wrong. If you kill some one while driving intoxicated it's your fault not the event. They do promote to drink responsibly, but they have no control over what actions you take after consuming alcohol.

    A) I don't see why allowing illegal drugs into an event will make them consume them less. Not to mention every big event out there prohibits drugs. Never the less, we go back to the point of "you're old enough to know what's right from wrong" and I add; you're responsible for your actions and the actions that will be taken towards you if found with possession of illegal drugs. LAPD is on scene and people will be reported and arrested.

    B) I already answered your question about alcohol.

    C) Actually HARD has hired the best "VJ" around. His name is Vello Virkhaus. They are not banning lights, they are banning glow sticks and gloves.

    D) HARD encourages people to dress up for Halloween, you just need to use your imagination.

    You pretty much answer your own questions with the following sentence; "In conclusion I don't think it is Hard's responsibility to be our parents." You're right, it's not HARD's responsibility to baby people, it is their responsibility to provide a safe environment for people to enjoy music along with others and that's why these rules are set.

    I hope all your questions have been answered.

  • WillWill October 2010

    @Poohbeezie

    i would say %85 of the people on this board really have no idea what is involved with getting a production like this off the ground.. There are so many politics involved i wouldnt even know where to begin.

    First off i acknowledge your right to make your point so please dont take what i have to say the wrong way because the only problem you have is that you are only seeing this thing one way.

    The other side of your argument is that its not really what HARD wants to offer... its what they are Allowed to offer. With that being said of course of someone wants to take a drug they are going to take it... but if the event makes a point to try and stop the drugs from entering the party then it looks better on the producers and the City wont give them shit for not doing it in the first place.

    Through out time we have learned that people are going to do what they are going to do.. I mean the main thing at any event is saftey so again if they try to make some effort to avoid the drugs and illegal stuff entering the party then the better it is for the promoters in dealing with the city.

    Also if they dont make it hard to keep the stuff out of HARD (no pun intended) then if something does happen like someone gets really sick in the party then the promoter can be held liable... do you really think the promoters are willing to risk that?

    To be honest if a claim has to be paid out then thats money lost in their pocket which means the next event could suck.

  • WillWill October 2010

    As far as the alcohol thing goes... thats just politics man.. HARD isnt the government lol.. They are allowed to serve alcohol so why not? Offering bar service is just a simple way to provide services to the people... But like drug consumption you have to remember that just because HARD provides bar service doesnt mean that they are saying "Get black out drunk on us"... just like drug use the alcohol consumption is each persons own responsibility and you have to be smart about it.

    As far as the lights and drugs thing... dude your so off base its not even funny anymore... Every event has stage enhancements that are meant to give more emphasis on the performers and stimulate ones senses... You dont have to be rolling on E to enjoy cool stage effects man... Even concerts like the Kings Of Leon have cool lights and when i go see the Dodgers on Friday nights they shoot off fireworks... Are you saying even they only provide that stuff becasue they assume everyone is on drugs lol?

    The individual lights are banned because of their association at other "RAVE" like type events... another reason why i dont get why you people try so hard to peg HHM as a rave when clearly they are trying to go the other direction.

    The costume thing is another dumb attempt to stab at the promoters... Its a Halloween party.. They are letting people dress up and thats it... For you to make an argument like "Well ill just dress like a raver" just makes you sound like a douche bag... just saying.

    In MY conclusion... HARD and the people that run it dont really care what you do as long as you do it outside of their events... but if you want to attend then you will respect the rules. The rules are there for compliance with the city, to ensure your saftey wether you like it nor not and most of all it protects them from liability claims...

  • WillWill October 2010

    Again i know not everyone thinks about this stuff but like i said you cant blame people for having to follow the rules... especially when most of them are for your saftey and so they can throw this party for you the people in the first place.

  • DarkHorseDarkHorse October 2010

    @Poohbeezie

    Hey bro, I feel you on this one a lot man, but...WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO FUCKING CRY ABOUT IT!?!?!?

  • I_SNORT_COCAINEI_SNORT_COCAINE October 2010

    Poohbeezie ? it shows you're some kid who thinks they know everything, lol you fucking retard, what are you? captain save a rave here?. Clearly you have no concept of EVENT planning.

    "Ok first of all if Hard is trying to make a pure event about music, why do they still serve alcohol? And why don't they have it during the daytime? " now read that to yourself and pretend I said that to you. Its a fucking MUSIC EVENT, where you will most likely have responsible 21+ people attending trying to enjoy themselves; You'll find out how it feels when you actually grow up.

    A. Kids are going to take their drugs prior to entry, odds are they will consume more at once which would be more dangerous then before.

    Oh really? then whos fault is it for having to take so many drugs at once before entering? You fucking idiot, theyre enforcing it so idiots like that dont harm themselves and die like that girl.

    B. The event still serves alcohol, 1 kid dies from a drug overdose and all the raves are on the verge of being shut down, how many people die from alcohol consumption and drunk driving each year? Yet you still don't have a problem serving alcohol?

    Serious?! all raves on the verge of being shut down, LOL. Its apparent you havent been around long enough to know any better.



  • I_SNORT_COCAINEI_SNORT_COCAINE October 2010

    C. No lights? So does that mean that the DJ sets are going to have 1 spot light on the DJ and no other special effects going on during their sets? No. There is gonna be lights and guess why your company is gonna make those lights so cool, whether you want to admit it or not its because lights look cool on drugs. I don't really see what your accomplishing from banning private lights.

    LOL! wow you're are a smart one. DJs add lights for their overall performance, for fucks sake theyre in the entertainment business. You dont see disneyland putting up lights so kids can watch them on drugs. Then read what you said "whether you want to admit it or not its because lights look cool on drugs " YOU FUCKING MORON!! if lights look cool on drugs and you have private lights, then that clearly tells security whos ENFORCING THE DRUG LAWS " Hey look ! its those lights, ya the lights that look cool on drugs, soo im guessing these kids are on drugs. "

    so ya if you cant figure out why theyd ban lights then youre a waste of life.

    D. Costumes. Since it isn't in any way a rave according to the standards of Hardfest, why can't I be a raver for Halloween? It's not like I dress like that all the time and this year maybe I wanted to be a raver. Your dress code welcomes costumes but thats what raving is. Fact is people don't goto the office with "Kandi" or "Fuzzy boots", its a costume.

    ya, but people dress like ravers every single fucking event. You dont see 100 people wearing a banana suit to every single music event. Lets say every EVENT is your OFFICE, then technically you wearing that raver shit at every event is not a costume, now if you wore something different on halloween, then ya it becomes a costume.

    Um, I know there's a sound system on stage, but can't I just bring a boombox and play my own music during the performance? I mean, music is great on drugs, so everyone on drugs will like my music while I'm in the crowd with my boombox playing my own music. kthxbye

  • StellaStella October 2010

    @poohbeezie
    since there has been enough hating on pooh here I'm going to save myself the energy and time and just try to strictly give you some answers here.

    I was disappointed by the MIA cancellation... I'm not gonna lie when I woke up and saw that post from my new york bestie which read "HAHA hard la's cancelled sucks to be you" I actually started crying... I did a lot of research as to why this had happened and you know Mr. Richards said he wanted to make HARD Summer a bigger event, which I don't think is the straightforward truth. I think it was mainly because they weren't prepared enough for the new rules and regulations on security that emerged from the "EDC Incident". I wouldn't argue against a tough pre-sale, however I do think that the reason for that would actually be the line-up as it's not really what HARD's usual followers would expect. I personally love flying lotus (seen him twice), gaslamp killer, sleigh bells (seeing on friday), die antwoord (seeing on sunday) and whoever else was supposed to play, but I don't think they're really the type of music this crowd usually goes for.

    As for the alcohol... I mean I know what you're saying because it's true but you also have to look at it from at ratio standpoint. I think there's way more accidents and deaths because there is much more alcohol consumption than ecstasy consumption. I mean, there is. Because it's been a part of human culture for years, doesn't kill your nervous system as badly and mainly because it's legal. As @Will said, it's all politics man. You think HARD, or any rave, would have those drug searches if the man wasn't making them? Are you kidding me? More business for them! I'm not saying HARD admins are vil capitalists trying to steal our money by killing us... but still I mean obviously it has to do with law and government.

  • StellaStella October 2010

    HOWEVER, if I'm not mistaken, last call at HARD Summer was 10:30... I mean my 17 year old ass wasn't buying alcohol there but you know... I did see the beer gardens dilute so young in the night...
    Maybe this is the start of a new trend. SEE hard does want us to be safe and alive!

    oh and by the way @will yes your comment last week made my day I must say... but ahhh 9 1/2 more months right! 18 man it's comin...

  • dubstepkillaaadubstepkillaaa October 2010

    Every time I hop onto the hard forums I know I'm in for a laugh. This made my day.

  • WillWill October 2010

    @stella

    lol what comment is that? Forgive me i post so much on djforums that i cant remember any one post.

    I think this year all the underagers are going to be at Kimmy's pre-game gas station parking lot party hahaha

  • StellaStella October 2010

    @will oh the one about feeling me w/ the age issues and I should do fun kid stuff... but yeah no not posting it at a gas station if anything I'll take my little sister out trick-or-treating but my la roux costume will kinda go to waste though if i do that... :/

  • WillWill October 2010

    @Stella

    When i couldt go to shows i would just have a kick back or something at a friends house... The thing is everyone wants to grow up so fast and its hard to do stuff anywhere because everyone has parents around so i mean i know the feeling of wanting to go out and be independant.. I dunno there has to be something you can do... I would go to Horror nights at Universla Studios or something like that.

    I just went and it was really fun!

  • StellaStella October 2010

    @will yeah we're going to horror nights this saturday i'm pretty excited. kickbacks yeah like everyday...not happening on halloween hahaha. It sucks because I know what you mean everyone does but I legitimately am not... It just kind of happened that way because of finishing school and like family situations cause parents are always in new york and my boyfriends like a decade older than me haha... There will be something to do I mean it's LA! I'm not trippin.. well I definitely am but it's okay, oizo just moved to LA so hopefully he'll be playing some all ages shows soon!
