It seems like Eric is the only person who addressed the real problem here. Sure, it was a fun weekend and many of the problems were not the fault of the minimoo crew. However, they were nowhere to be found when things started to go wrong and instead of being around to make sure everything was taken care of, they disappeared, leaving the ONE full time employee they hired to deal with the entire mess. Furthermore, many of the minitek employees have not been paid and from what I’ve heard neither have many of the artists/performers.

Just had to throw this info out there…

the “fuck vocals” approach its just so teenager though
…i can bet 100 percent of all the artists at minitek played some sort of vocal sample at his -her set
“fuck vocals”
a joke really.

The Minimoo crew attempted to do something both bold and ambitious, lets thank them for the effort they put forth in getting together some serious talent in electronic music. NYC and the U.S.for that matter are not legally conducive to underground techno parties and the culture(s) they house so when the money is coming in they don;t mind, but when the freak (that’s us) follows then these problems come to light as far a police putting ceilings on occupancy, and shutting down at 4am despite a late nite permit and so on and so forth. These people have been putting together some wicked underground and seriously fun parties for awhile now giving many of us many awesome evening listening to the music we love, this was their only goal so let’s thank them for that. Hope they acknowledge and learn from their mistakes and if they try again next year support them and do what you can do to help make the event even better and more memorable!

I dont know jenny or anyone of the minitek team but as an ex new yorker its pretty obvious that after you lived in this city for more than 3 years or even less one realizes how hard could be to make events , even small events ..
For my eyes and from what other people have said to me who knows her , she is someone with a little bit too much ego and got carried away , she probably always got what she wanted in her life , rich ,pretty and spoiled and she wanted to get it once again but didnt realize she is a grown up now and you just basically CANT get everything you want , specially in New york city..
The event must have been planed at least a year in advance , with half of the artists and half of the parties plus with all the security to protect the events , permits back up venues , good bars,the police should have been informed and the event protected as acultural act …this takes time and effortt but if u are smart enough its posible in new yrk..
this was in many peoples eyes juts a naive , egotistic and selfish move…and maybe it will help her to get her feet on the ground for the rest of her life…

the love parade started with 20 people ,audience and djs included and look what a monster is now…
you cant contruct a building from top to bottom..
good luck next time , if any.
