So long.

Well, I think its time for a full statement about the weekend. We paid 1000 dollars to use the venue for Not-So-Superfriends, to a gentleman who claimed to be the property manager, who was making sure the land was safe while the actual land owner was laid up from an accident. Turns out this is not the case, as early yesterday morning we were visited by the REAL venue owner, who told us this guy had scammed us. Between that, and the poor turn out, its safe to say that I'm done. I just can't put my heart and soul into something with no return anymore. So, it is with a heavy heart that I announce my total retirement from the rave scene, it has been a fun 6 years, but all in all, it's just not worth it anymore. Thank you all for the memories, and the experiences, but in the end, this is what needs to be done. I will still be working with D-Blok Studios, but in a smaller role, and without doing parties. Thank you everyone.

Regrets...


Well folks, here's the deal. Under much consideration, planning and regret, we have decided the best thing for the event itself is too postpone to the Labor Day Long Weekend. I apologize from the bottom of my heart for doing this, we take full responsibility for the complete lack of professionalism on this subject and I really, really did not want to do this, but it's what has to be done. The reason for the postponement though, is a happy one. We have secured a legal venue for the festival itself, but the land is not quite usable. I know this should have been done much earlier, but as we ran into far too many snags along the way. The decision to postpone should have come much earlier as well, but I wanted to follow every lead to try and make this work before resorting to this. We wanted to go ahead with it, but after much deliberation, we realized that we wanted to do it right, full security team, license, legal venue, and everything that goes along with it, and we could not give the advertized legal festival that you bought the ticket for, so instead of being deceitful and trying to pass it off, we came forward and postponed.

I realize that this screws up travel plans, vacation time, and the like. I am so sorry, I can't even believe that I have to do this, this makes me almost sick to think about to be honest. I never wanted to inconvenience anyone with this, we here at D-Blok tried everything to try to make it go as planned.

Please hold on to your tickets, as we are firstly doing a one night engagement, at a secure venue in the Nanaimo area, on the Saturday(May 18th), the deposit is being paid on Saturday the 12th, and the contracts signed at the same time, at which time the location will be released on the page and the blog(http://superfriendsmusicfest.blogspot.com), and secondly, THE EVENT IS NOT CANCELLED, not by a long shot, this just gives us the time to have a fully secure venue, top knotch security, amazing sound, crazy lazers, delicious vendors, and three days of amazing fun, once again on a long weekend!!
Again, I apologize for the complete lack of professionality on our part here, we never meant to let all of you down like this.
If you have any questions at all, please direct them to Jamie Gib by messaging him on Facebook or emailing us at dblokstudios@gmail.com
Peace, love, and happy thoughts.
