I was at The Guvernment in Toronto Canada last night and couldn't help but notice the amount of drunk university students climbing the DJ booth. Now I'll be honest they were probably only a couple years younger then me, but in all honesty I've never had an experience as annoying as this. Sure Wolfgang Gartner is my favorite electro/house DJ of all time (sure judge me now) and i would love to shake hands with Mr Youngman, but I have the composure to not climb up and try to fist bump the guy.
I'm not going to blame the security for letting the kids get away with these interruptions (yes I'm saying kids because it's childish to goof off like that). The one thing that stinks is that there's these saturday nights where a huge megastar DJ isn't charging a 80 dollar gate to get in, so the usual college rabble of club goers comes in who couldn't care less about the show, but rather which girl they will go home with at the end of the night. Sure you could raise ticket prices to filter out the kiddies, and keep the dedicated music lovers who will pay an arm and a leg to see talented people like Wolfgang Gartner, or his supporting DJ Pierce Fulton, take the stage. Raising ticket prices would sadly burry a deeper hole in my pocket, and the last thing anyone wants to do is spend more money, because we will if the artist is worth it. After that i'm just disappointed, I brought my crappy point and shoot camera, because anything larger would get pummeled on the dance floor, and nearly half of the photos are filled with yet another drunk goof with his glow in the dark sunglasses and his white button up shirt that he spilled a broken glow stick all over.
