Ok…..wel l i had a great time….untill i woke up and saw the internet!!!!!
I know we had problems with the sound…and we could of some couchs in the venue…but a that long story….it our first time at the venue, we had teething problems for sure, we knew we would…so shit will happen and it did.
But bottom line is it not the melkweg, it going to be almost impossible for us all to ever recatch the atmosphere and the cosyness of the hq at melkweg…but we tried that the best we can do…and the best I can say. But it was either this or no hq till we found other venue.
It that simple...
I felt I had to reply to the coments from…magic, because they seem to be a bit mean….and bascily looking for some thing complaint about….
My replys in english….
Pluspunten:
- gratis parking (yeah!)
- gratis toiletten (was altijd al zo in de Melkweg, maar blijft een plus)
- publiek/sfeer (uiteraard ongeevenaard!) very good at the front!!!
- TIDY BOYS! (de echte UK sound) FINALY!!!!!
- JP (zoals altijd) was ok
- de geweldige performance van Proteus (blijft een feest om te zien, al is FNRG niet onze stijl, maar dat maakte niet uit) the man….
- relaxte uitsmijters, this very true much better than the reps stuff.
Plus Points…for me…
The old and new faces that made it….
DJ Hank done very well, he will be back for hq!…..( how you could forget your resident dj from round bass in your plus points I do not know)
Tidy boys not for there sounds, which was good…. But actually making it there….and taking a break from there holiday….good work, was having night mares all week that thy where going to cancel….
Proteus and sebastain, selling the cd……pricless….
The concept room…..i could not se the roof at one point….nice…
Minpunten:
NO TOM HARDING………… it did not feel right…..
Mobile phones not working in the venue…….
- dat we 5 maanden HQ-loos waren!
Have to aggree with that….
- slechte/geen routebeschrijving/wegwijzering in de buurt
well…what can i say I would be the first to admit it not the easiest venue to find by car, but i even posted on pf saying the venue was hard to find and please try to do some home work before you go the venue to avoid problems, we put all the route info on the udc webiste as well, we where not allowed to put up signs around the venue to give directions to the venue, but we did all we can to warn all of you of this, …the only thing we could done more is come to your house and pick you up! Or use public transport next time, it very simple top get to 2 mins from wtc station.…
- geen info over time table (niet vooraf en niet tijdens het feest)
There was time tables in the venue along with the statement about shokk
I know some people take the time tables for them selfs… but you could of asked me,hank,jp, fausto,andrea, and would of told you the playing order.….no problem. This is never a problem. Also you could checked the time table on udc site in adavcne, or on pf in the hq topics….…also this photo from the dj booth, but there where 10 other timetables in the venue……

- verlichting (nog net geen snackbarlicht)….
lights low ceiling had numruous limitations, with regards to deco…and lights, a night mare. But you can not put deco on the floor…and the ceiling to low, so we can not hang from the ceiling…other wise people would be hitting there heads on the deco….this made it very diffcult for lighting….
- DJ Booth/dranghekken etc
again, the answer is simple and a little comon sense ….we are not in a club, so we need barriers. For every bodies safety , and not having them is foolish and not safe for the public , you must know this as a promoter your self.?
That’s why they have barriers at every party that’s not in a club… we also had to build the dj booth, so we have a lot of power,sound cables back stage that are on the floor left out in the open people would trip over and hert them selfs, we don,t want that either.…plus we have beamers, amps, speakerz and all kinds of stuff, and people working, sound lights.. we have to keep this area sealed off,. For health and saftey reasons, and common sense, and also to stop people stealing stuff…
- aankleding (sober mag, maar bij binnenkomst dachten we serieus op een schoolfeest te zijn beland)
well as you know we got loads of deco at hq, but the truth is we not could hang it in the room because the roof to low….this problem there is no way on earth we could fix.
- geluid (in tegenstelling tot wat werd beloofd, viel zwaar tegen)
- not our fault by 1 am, we had 3 warnings about the sound, from local residents..…By 1am we where down from 105 to 90 some thing….it not good enough we know, but we have no control over this, (same happen queens day ilove hardhouse), the police come tell you to turn it down regardless of the people who have payed good money to party….the only other option is to stop the party. This is never an option. We are all at hq extremly pissed about this, but we had to turn it down.. as regards to echoes and delays…we tried every thing to fix it…..
- gladde vloeren (zelf lopen was aan het eind bijna niet meer mogelijk)
it was a bit slippery I agree with that…next time i will get my mop out and clean the dance floor as you all dance? You know keep it tidy…
No that not going to work either…. I am sorry but 700 people + bar= slippery floor…. (This was also in the melkweg I have lost count the number of times I fell down the stairs or slipped in there),please any surgestion on how to fix this…are very welcome…but serious ones. Carpet not an option either….
- geen chill/zitruimte (met z'n allen zitten in de oververlichte lockerruimte...)
yes this was a bummer….no chill room….i agree with that. But over lighted locker room..it a pointless argument. because it s a locker room, people go there for there stuff, to get things from bags etc, they can not do this in the dark….light is needed. But it did turn in to a chill room very quckliy, even if it was not ment to be…
- volgorde DJ's/New Idol
nuw idol to early!!! You are kidding….? Please explane this with a bit more detail….please.. I not sure what volgorde means?
- shokk ontbrak
there was a statement, posted next to the the time tables but you did not see this either, but again, you could of aksed me , hank,fuasto,andrea….as well. For those of you who did not know shokk was at the airport, but was stopped by the airport medic, who said if you want ton your ear to explode, get on the plane!. Hence…no S.H.O.K..K,
- drank (en dan niet de prijzen), bier (opgepiept) en baco's (voorgemixt) waren smerig
well, that from the company we hiring in, also not much we can do to fix this problem… once the party has started….closing the bar not option… pleas if you have any surgestions on how to fix this once the party running..let us know. Help us fix this…but if you do not like your drink complain about it at the bar…….and belive me I do.
I have not answered these point not to start an argument but to things alittle bit straight for people who where not there…….but I had say some thing.
Also in future and this goes for everybody not just magic, we know comuication not our strong point, but telling us after the event also not helpful for the night it self, try to tell us on the night if you can….
if there any thing wrong, please grab jp, fuasto, andrea or me…and we will try to help, we can, not perform miracales, but we will try to help….the best we can.
Thanks all for coming… hq colum will be ready soon…with the behind the scene stories..
