If there was a rules and regulation book...

[richierich]

on how to party... over the last 22+ years of my partying on the House scene... I musta missed it!
First it was the DJ critics.. play this play that, don't play this don't play that. Yesterday it was the dance floor critics.. you can't be feeling this, you don't dance with soul, people questioning the sincerity of someone elses dancing or not dancing yadda, yadda...now it's the House party fashion police.. dress up , don't dress up..TUX or CHUCKS .. what is Really going on??? I don't need anyone trying to suggest to me how I should party, dance, drink, dress, play. Way too much energy spent on telling or suggesting how someone else should getdown.... What next the House instruction manual??? THIS CAN'T BE HOUSE..!!!!!

They passed those handbooks out at the Halloween set back in 78 at the Warehouse.

I am REALLY HAPPY someone said this! graemlins/grinyes.gif You DO NOT have to be a slave to something to respect and LOVE it!!!

And yes, that includes house.

Is it possible that people just want to talk about things without it being that they're trying to dictate to others how to do their thing. Doesn't it all come down to we're going to do what we want to do anyway? I'm all for being sensitive and considerate but sometimes yeah, I'll get a good chuckle at a thread about House and fashion. Doesn't mean I'm taking everything written as a direct mandate on how to be.

Then again, I woke up in a good mood today so I'm just going with it. :D

But then again, I was 10 and living in PGH, so I KNOW I don't have a copy.

If I did get one I would have probably scribbled on the pages with crayon. ;)

[Linedog]

I thought that house was a feeling????

And you totally misrepresented yesterdays thread. It wasn't what is required for you to be house or whatever it was about ... Feeling. I think we established that people feel in different ways.. End thread..

So to this thread. People talk about things it just natural. If I drop a Throwing copper track by live, is that house??? So the dj critic will say what? If I someone is copying a move even though he is not listening to music and is clunky with his moves? so the dance critic will say? if someone wears a three piece Brooks Brothers suit, or dayglo pants and bib? the fashion critic will say? WHAT???? I guess what they observe. It's a way of sharing... Just talking!

So then if we apply your rule then this forum should just shut down because what's deep soulful house and classic talk anyway?????

So tell us what is ok to talk about???

This is not a flame.. I just don't get the degree of sensitivity about what people say? I am not sensitive about the replies or comments. If I am wrong some constructive critiques would be kewl. I am a person searching for growth.

So in the spirit of this I can see the point but it's barbed and clearly one sided.

Peace... smile.gif

I'm wit'cha Rich! My thang is, do what you wanna do.

Then again, I woke up in a good mood today so I'm just going with it. :D Over the past I don't know year maybe I've noticed an attitude that suggests that House is a certain way and any derivative of things that were are blasphemous. I could be wrong but I thought House was about freedom period ie; dance the way you wanna, dress the way you wanna, be the way you wanna, listen to what you wanna. Now all I read on the board are criticisms of everything. Why can't we just do our own thing without someone always saying that this is not the way true heads do this or this is not progressive enough . We get shot down by non house heads and then we turn around and put our own down so to speak with all these rules and regulations type things. So what If I want to pay to get into a party and not dance.. that's my choice, so what if I want to wear ripped up 501s,or a Brooks Bros. suit that's my choice... having choices is what is House.. I thought.

Clinging on to what they think makes their version of house special? This is an observation that should be explored. I do agree with you on that.

[richierich]

If I ever come off as sounding pissed off or makin' it personal I apologize.. I take what I say serious and assume that most people take their statements serious. I Live House. This is still just convo but I tend to get a little intense at times but do not intend on attacking anyone but Damn you can tell when people start getting older they(not all)tend to think that it's their way or it's wack. I just want to party in an uninhibited way. If I wanted structure I would have chose something else besides House.
Peace

[MYOR]

Hey do what you wanna do...Just don't smell so funky that people have to leave.. icon_rofl.gif

[And]

RichieRich & Linedog, I read you both loud and clear and certainly don't mean to come off as an authority on how to or what to. I know certain days depending on my mood I'll be more playful in my responses. Other days I'll take something said in a way not intended by the poster. I annoy, people annoy me, I also get many, many laughs and really good information on various subjects. I enjoy message boards for all those reasons and hope in the end what I'm left with is a better understanding of the people I've interacted with. :D

Although, I never got to experience house like this back in the day...I have experienced house...this is totally what I miss....just getting down to the rhythm....getting lost in the music...smiling, happy, getting high off the sounds I'm hearing, vibing and building my very own personal relationship with the dj....and unfortunately it's not happening where I'm at and where I've been lately....
