Plastic Passion @ Oz CANCELED TONIGHT

[PlasticPassion_a2]

I know this is starting to get confusing and all, but...

THERE WILL BE NO PLASTIC PASSION TONIGHT

I'm really sorry about this, but it has been canceled due to Oz.... well, Oz being Oz.

THE FINAL PLASTIC PASSION

Still Happens

Next Wednesday, April 26th

So, I hope to see you all the 26th: the last Plastic Passion will be the best!150 of the best New Wave tracks will be crammed and mixed together in only a 4 1/2 hour DJ set!

...AND IT'LL BE FREE!

AND NOW FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT

There will be only two more Plastic Passion Wednesdays:

Wednesday, April 19th  (Ed. Note 4/18:  No!  This is now canceled),

and Wednesday, April 26th  (Ed Note 4/18: Yes!  This final night will happen)

This is not a gimmick to try and get more people out. This is pretty much a done deal. There a many reasons for this, but essentially comes down to this:

1) Lack of consistent attendance. We've had some great crowds a few nights as well as a some nights where the crowd was thin, but we had loads of fun anyway with a full dancefloor until the wee hours of the morning. Doing it every Wednesday, however, demands to have at least a fairly sizable crowd that consistently shows, and this just hasn't happened.

The biggest obstacle was not only trying to get crowds on a Wednesday night (which is itself a difficult task), but to get a certain type of audience to come to Oz that previously had never been to Oz. In the end, it turned out to be not just having to sell the night and the music, but to have to sell Oz, too.

2) Lack of funds to print more flyers, buy ads, increase promotion and awareness, etc. Doing it free for the first six weeks = no $. No regrets about doing it free, however.

3) Finally, the biggest reason has not to do with Oz, but a personal matter. Josh, Plastic Passion's DJ, was just finishing his last year of enlistment in the National Guard...when whammo... he's being deployed to Iraq this summer. So, some time is needed to prepare for such a big change in life including several weeks army training in May as well as taking many days off to visit friends and family before he is sent off.

So, I, Josh, hope you all can come out for the last two. I assure you that they will be my best DJ sets ever.

Wednesday the 19th: (Ed. Note 4/18:  No!  This is now canceled)

Diane's (PP's extraordinary bartender ) last night -she's leaving A2.  =(  Come say goodbye to the best bartender in Ann Arbor!

Only songs that I've never played before will be played - but it's gonna be great!

Requests will be taken, as long as the above applies.

Wednesday the 26th:(Ed note 4/18: Yes!  This final night will happen)

THE FINAL PLASTIC PASSION!

A "best of" Plastic Passion 4 1/2 hour DJ set! The best songs! The best mixes of those songs ever! As many great songs and bands as we can pack into 4 1/2 hrs!

BOTH NIGHTS: FREE! (voluntary $3-$5 donation can be made, if you wish, which will be used to recoup previous PP's expenses and investments)

Thanks to all and there will some personal thank yous to persons acknowledged released soon.

Until then...you can leave comments/thoughts about this here or on our myspace blog and I hope to see you all the next two Wednesdays!

- Josh, your humble new wave DJ
