I need to vent right now. First let me say this. THIS WAS NOT MY PARTY! This party was my partner and his girl friends idea. I won't mention the place as to not give the place a bad name. It's a very nice small place in Union, NJ. Now they talked them into having this party there last night and they agreed to let them have this party. They let them get the place for free.
They asked for me to help them with this party. Reluctantly I agreed to help. Now his girl friend had been trying to be this promoter. She's tried to promote parties around at different places and none of them have been a success. Only a few people have showed up to these parties.
I asked her what was the place doing to get people to come to the party. She said that it was her job as the promoter to get people to come. She did say the lady that works there was to put something in a paper. I don't know what that was. That's all I was told. So I let that go.
The planning of the party was a mess to begin with. It was to be free to get into the party. The music was to be from the days of Club Zanzibar and the Paradise Garage. I had to find out the day of that someone was to celebrate their birthday party at this party and they were looking for them to bring people to this party. They should have never depended on them to bring people to this party. That should have been in addition to the people she got to come to the party.
She said she got a text message that they were involved in an accident while on the way to the party. So they were a no show. That was a mess right there. I was just glad to hear they were alright. If that is the truth about what happened.
Anyway it was some people that were already there when we got there. They stayed for a while but after a while when they didn't see to many people come to the party they left. A couple of people I know showed up because of a text message I sent them. The thing was that people were texting her to find out what the dress code was for this party. They should have been known that long before the day of the party.
It was roughly around 11:30 and the spot was empty. So the bartender said for us to pack it up. They said the bartender panicked when he didn't see anybody in the place. She was upset because the party was to last till 2am. While I was driving she said a few people sent her a text message that they were on their way to the party. Now for me that wasn't enough people to justify staying there when the party was a bust.
The only promoting she did I understand was through FB and Twitter. They didn't have any postcards made up to tell people about the party. Even if it was a free party still if they were looking to build on something they should have had some postcards made up to pass out to their friends and family and to put in the place where the party was to be. They miss it big time. To make money you've got to spend money.
There's more I could say. I'll just leave my rant with these last 2 things. I knew that people weren't coming to this party because she doesn't know what the hell she is doing and hates to listen. I told them they need to find a place to play at regularly so people will get to know who they are and what they are about. Then if they want to venture out to do other things fine. Their way of doing things hasn't worked yet. Lastly like I said. THIS WAS NOT MY PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So please don't beat me up saying this was my party. I was just showing up to help out and that was it. No more no less. Have a nice day.
