Derrick carter & dayhota: this was a semester long bidding game and it went over 3g's all together. bottom line, no one at orchid will profit or enjoy themselves with a $10 cover to try and break even. i hope you all understand. when he was at 1.5g's it would have been possible like paul johnson, but it just didn't work out.

Jes One - rockford, il - groove shop records - raverworld.com - this thursday upstairs.
Jes One is a rave DJ from rockford that is fun as hell to listen and dance to. he plays progressive edged house and techno music with a mix of some great hip hop records, enough just to get your head bobbin in the middle of his set, before going back. he plays partys all around the midwest and is part of deception krew. It is his first time appearance out here, and your in for a treat.

downstairs...hopefully China Wite...he is a great aggressive techno and trance DJ that has a good rep in the Midwest and plays a lot of partys in the area.

...finally, last liquid thursday of the spring semester. i want to see everybody out. this year has had it's ups and downs and there will always be room for improvement, just remember that there is no other place in this town and 100 mile radius like Orchid. Enjoy it goddamit.

-Paul Anthony tonight, he is bringing out Translucent who will be accompanying him with a trumpet and drums.
-Mixin' Marc pimping it out this Friday.
-Sayon thumping it this Saturday.
-Dayhota next week, Curt the week after, Studio 54 Party coming up, Markski on May 3, and Derrick Carter and Dayhota has been moved to May 10 for Orchid's grand finale to the semester. Sorry about the inconvenience.
-As for Christopher Lawrence, there was nothing we could do, this is the first time that a DJ has not shown up at Orchid ever. Everything was smooth until 9pm when we found out all flights were cancelled out of Chicago due to lightning. I thought we had a ride but he couldn't drive all the way to Champaign. Myself along with all of Orchid's staff are really upset that things turned out the way they did. We are really trying to book another date this semester, but it looks like there can't be make-up date until next semester. Christopher is having surgery right now and is taking some time off, and he's pretty booked until late May early June, and well it just wouldn't be right if we brought him in the summer during Early session, there is hardly anybody here. The Rainchecks will still be valid, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, however we still had to pay Christopher the full amount despite the flight cancellation. Furthermore, this will allow us to bring him out for a very minimal fee which will in turn reflect back to all of you who are dying to see him play as much me. Thank you all for being understanding about this.
-See you all out.
