This is a repost from my Myspace blog. It is quite long, so for those of you who like to complain about long posts, I've put it behind a cut. I'd suggest you read it though. This post is more for the Houston scene than about me.

I dunno if I want to come out. The last several times I've been out the scene was so changed and the people just weren't fun anymore. I want to go out and have fun but the drama that is the Houston scene isn't worth it.

What do you mean the drama? Please remember I've basically been gone for 2 years. Is this all that's keeping you from going out? What do you think is the reasons behind the decline over the years? Is it simply the drama or is it something more?

I left the scene 3 years ago. When I started seeing the backbiting between the DJ's. The continuous drama that festered within the scene and from what I hear hasn't changed since I left. Not to mention, I'm a bit straight edge, I don't like drugs. Alchy is fine, drugs put everyone at risk. So when I started seeing more and more use when I was out and in public it made me uncomfortable. Add in the rumors and the trash talking that continued to be part of my experience and it made me not really want to come back.

I've been out once since then and that was to see Debbi.

I appreciate your honesty about this. You're right, the bickering and drama is still around. It seems that my even thinking about maybe starting something new has unlocked Pandora's Box and there has been opposition to me since I made this post on Mysapce.

I feel you on the drug abuse. Personally, I'm clean these days, I've got to much to lose, and it bugs me when I see people doing it, though having had the fortune, whether it be good or bad, of being in a powerful position running a club, I know it's going to be there.

To be honest, this has really shown me that while Houston deserves something new and different, it's not ready for it. Maybe 1 day. But thankyou so much for being honest about this.

i think your desire is great, but i don't think you're going to be able to pull it off here. i think it's just too small here. you just can't get enough support to keep something going here and "the scene" is so damn drama filled it runs everyone off.

i think the places that are really making it are because everyone there doesn't know every other person in the room. it's diverse and huge. there is room for plenty of cliques and social circles.

Yeah, I think you're on to something there. It's sad really. 1 of the largest cities and a scene small enough that everyone knows everyone.

And you're right about the drama. I've received private messages from people on myspace and they all say they don't go out for this and that, but the one reason I see the most is the drama.

The problem is we all really do know everyone and we're all independent it's herding cats.

[ferelwing]

Absolutely agreed.
