Sorry to be the naysayer, but big deal. We were pulling 30-40K a weekend throwing raves back in the 90's. Ostensibly, they were drug and alcohol-free. cough

I am curious how he is getting liability insurance for these events though at his age. I remember it being a bitch to get when I was 20. And what of security? We had to hire off-duty cops until it was found out that it was against the rules for the cops to do that.
- anonymous246 16y agoSo it's not a big deal that he's making money doing the opposite of what conventional wisdom (and media) says sells, namely parties with the opportunity for underage drinking and drugs? Kudos to this kid+father for finding a way to make money doing the right thing.
- jawngee 16y agoYou're being naive if you don't think any of that is going on at his parties. Even at our parties, in a drug steeped culture, we'd give you the boot if you were openly doing drugs, selling pills, etc. As would most "above board" promoters at that time.
- leniholiday 16y agoDo ppl still make that kind of money today?
- jawngee 16y agoMaybe, I mean that whole culture sort of died out and moved onto parties at clubs which has a very real profit ceiling. The biggest party I threw drew close to ~6K people at $30 a head. After expenses we cleared about 75K. All in cash, mind you. There are probably still parties that big in Europe and/or Asia, but in the states, it's all in clubs these days. That particular party was in the basement of a civic center and was relatively legit.
- sedachv 16y agoThat must have been one huge basement, dude.
- roberte3 16y agoO yeah. I just organized one that netted (after expenses) three times my annual salary as an IBM consultant.
