Rules for Party Etiquette by MISScat

Now many of you know that I get requests from time to time to promote others events and exciting things that are happening around the world. Well this was no exception, MISScat is a Manger of Artist Releations for Eventful which hosts many events including the Dfest and asked if I would place a link on my blog, so as I usually do I had to check out hers and this is what I found :)

http://www.myspace.com/missscat

By MISScat

many of us (including me) are guilty of doing/not doing these things...please note that no single occurrence prompted me to write this... :) enjoy.

here are my rules of "party etiquette" (in no particular order)

1. There really ARE some days where people don't feel like drinking--don't make them. Believe it or not, people can have fun while sober. Shocking, I know.

2. When your friends include you in their "rounds," don't forget. Get them back by buying a round too--never mooch off anyone. If you're broke this time around, tell them you'll get them back next time--and REMEMBER. Alcohol isn't cheap.

3. Be DD when it's your turn. When you have noticed that you haven't driven in awhile, DRIVE. Don't let the same person drive all the time. Gas isn't cheap.

4. When you ARE DD, don't get too fucked up. Other people's lives are in your hands.

5. Pitch in for parking. Always. Don't have change? Get it somehow, and pitch in. If you say you'll pay someone back, do so. Granted, some people honestly do forget, but this is for the people who NEVER make the effort to pay.

6. NEVER, and I mean NEVER throw up in someone else's car.

7. If by some reason you happen to throw up in someone else's car, pay for them to get it washed and detailed the next morning--nothing less. Don't make the driver suffer in your wasteful stench.

8. NEVER throw up on another human being. There is no resolution for this. None.

9. Try not to get too fucked up (unless of course the celebration is in your honor--birthday, going away, etc). Signs that you've gotten too fucked up: getting kicked out of the establishment while escorted by big ol' bodyguards, blacking out and not remembering what previously happened, falling down all over the place...etc.

10. Blacking out and not remembering what happened to you is never good. Try to refrain from it, unless of course it was a celebration in your honor.

11. Everyone gets too messed up at one time or another. NEVER leave your friend(s) hanging. Take care of them. If they're puking, hold their hair (if it's a girl) and get them water. Don't assume someone else will take care of them--just do it.

12. Don't do anything you'll regret the next day. Period.

13. Don't drive drunk. Don't let your friends drive drunk. Do what you've gotta do to ensure your friends' safety as well as your own-- even if it means napping in the parking lot while you sober up or calling your ex's friend's sister's cousin to pick you up.

14. Shit happens. The situations aforementioned will always occur--there's no getting away from it. If you're not willing to put up with it, stay home.

15. None of these rules apply when you're in Vegas. Just kidding...or am I? Hey, toilet hugging and wheelchairing make fine stories, and pictures. HAH.

This list is by no means exhaustive; if you have a golden rule you'd like to contribute, please do so! Thank you, and I hope this will turn you all into "responsible" partiers. lol.

ATL Record Pool June 26, 27 and 28, 2008 - Atlanta, Georgia

http://www.myspace.com/theatlrecordpool

The ATL Record Pool seems to have sprouted out of no where but with the 2008 first Qtr, which boasted over 1,500 attendees and some of the biggest producers and djs in the business it has quickly become one of the most anticipated industry events in Atlanta. Creating a venue that djs of all affiliations; radio, mix tape, club, different dj cliques, and more; can come together to hear and review the new music of hot new independents as well as seasoned major artist. Hosted by such powerful industry individuals in the past like Dj Drama, the Aphilliates, Oomp Camp’s Southern Style Djs, V103’s Greg Street and more, the Atl Record Pool has become a mecca of sort, for on the rise promoters, marketing companies, independent labels and artist, to attend and begin to establish the key relationships and networking that is so crucial to success in this ever changing industry. Occurring 3 times a year ( winter ,summer , fall) , with the summer session, being a 3 day music conference in June, we have succeeded in bringing the djs of Atlanta, surrounding areas, states, and beyond together for one common goal…. to see the who’s who of the “Who’s up Next” crew. Because of the relationships built by co-ceo PBrown, owner and operator of the wide spread Atlanta publication Streettalk Newspaper and Streettalk Marketing and now paired with the major up and coming grind of co- owner Dj Holiday, the Atl Record Pool is quickly becoming the absolutely no miss event for not only independent grinders, but also well known industry tastemakers , such as Mr. ColliPark, hit record breaker dj Greg Street, The Aphilliates, Rap Coalition’s Wendy Day, Ray Hamilton, President of Legion of Doom, Dj Jelly of OOMP CAMP, Kaspa- President of Hittmenn Djs, DJ Toomp along with many major labels including ColliPark Music, Grand Hustle, CTE, Shonuff, Atlantic, BME, Universal, Capital, and more!

THE STREETTALK ATL RECORD POOL CONSISTS OF SOME OF THE HOTTEST STREET, RADIO, MIXTAPE DJS IN ATLANTA AND THE SOUTH EAST. EVERY QTR WE COME TOGETHER TO CRITIQUE AS MANY INDEPENDENT SINGLES , GIVE U VITAL FEEDBACK AND NETWORK. NO OTHER RECORD POOL LISTENS TO OVER 40 INDEPENDENT SONGS ON THE SPOT!!!!

YOUR SONG IS HEARD BY THE WHOLE CLUB. THATS BY PROMOTERS, LABELS, MANAGERS, STREETTEAMS AND OVER 80 DJS!!!! LABELS THAT HAVE ATTENDED THE STREETTALK RECORD POOLS INCLUDE-- GRAND HUSTLE, OOMP CAMP, SHO NUFF, COLLI PARK, DTP, ATLANTIC, TVT, CTE, UNIVERSAL, AND MORE!!!!

Skook-A-Palooza started out as a day of celebration remembering the life of our friend and brother. The original event was to last one day and have about 8 bands playing, well, it ballooned into a 3 day event with over 30 bands now participating. There will be live entertainment, camping, good food, games, beer, prizes, and contests for everyone to enjoy. There will be over 150 vendors as well as local artisans so there will be something for everyone.

The 2008 event is scheduled to be held June 27, 28, & 29 at the Schuylkill County Fairgrounds.

The types of bands that you will hear will range from rock, pop, classic rock, folk, country, to Christian. We are open to any and all kinds of music as long as it is family oriented and appropriate for all ages!

The National Black Arts Festival - Atlanta, GA - July 18-27, 2008

The National Black Arts Festival is pleased to announce our upcoming twentieth year as the leading presenting arts and cultural organization in the United States celebrating the art and artists of Africa and the African Diaspora. We are many things to many people - an inspiration, a transforming force, a legacy, a depository of intellectual property, a creative clearinghouse, a center for creative exchange and collaboration, an artistic resource and a celebration of the creative spirit. Twenty years is a significant milestone and it is with pride that we declare, “We’re still here.”

The 2008 Festival dates are July 18-July 27. Mark your calendar!
Visit www.nbaf.org for schedules and more information about
The 2008 National Black Arts Festival!

---------------------------------------
The National Black Arts Festival is proud to partner with the Woodruff Arts Center to provide compelling forums for expression. The living legacy of the Civil Rights Movement has brought our groups together with a vision for collaboration. Through our programs we will explore the past struggle towards the dream, as well as the future of a civil, cultural, democratic and human rights legacy.

This unprecedented year-long collaboration centered on the language and living legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. The Atlanta Dialogue: Artists and the Civil Rights Continuum is comprised of performances and community discussions throughout 2008 that will explore the artists, civil rights and Atlanta’s role in the movement. The Atlanta Dialogue will include families that will become immersed into the process of this year-long collaboration.

The Woodruff Arts Center and its divisions—Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, High Museum of Art, and Young Audiences—and the National Black Arts Festival, will hold events and dialogues throughout 2008.

A full schedule of the dialogues and events can be found online at www.theatlantadialogue.org. New programming will also be added throughout the year.
