I apologize for the delay, but everything has been a train wreck since the beginning of the year. I’ve got a 2010 reset button sitting here on my desk, but I just don’t want to hit it until I know the time is right. While I was working up the stamina to put out this final podcast for 2009, I went ahead and put together a really kick-ass blog for our good friend Ian over at TSO Presents. He has been putting out these awesome sets that range from electro, progressive, and trance to funky and soulful house. If you haven’t checked him out yet, now would be a good time. I was so pleased with the end-results from his blog design and having already designed one for another Party Favorz friend Toni (a.k.a. DJ Freeze) I decided to go ahead and offer my services to anyone interested in sprucing up their site. Granted, I’m going to have to start charging for my work, but I think you’ll find my prices very reasonable. If anyone is interested, feel free to contact me via email located in the “about me” section of this site or in my Facebook profile.
As promised, I made the donation to Equality Across America on Wednesday last week, but I was waiting for it to clear my bank. I figured they would send me some sort of confirmation for tax purposes or at the very least “thanks.” When that didn’t happen, I contacted Mark Reed (one of the organizers) who said he would look into it and I have yet to receive a response. So, for the time being, I grabbed this off of my Bank of America statement so you guys can see that the money was in fact donated as promised. I assured everyone that I would be as transparent as possible, so I am presenting this to you as a sign of good faith on my part. Don’t forget, the Gay Anthem sets are still available via the sidelink on my main site http://www.partyfavorz.net or on the top tab of my Podbean site http://partyfavorz.podbean.com.
I also wanted to discuss the future of Party Favorz. After going through my finances for last year and the year before, I realized I’m not coming remotely close to recouping the money I put into this site versus the donations I receive. That is NOT to say that I don’t appreciate your generous gifts, because I do. However, between hosting, music, artwork (that is not my own making) and several other miscellaneous items, this site costs me quite a chunk of change to run. When I really started to add these numbers up, I couldn’t quite believe it; then again, I’m no accountant. So, going forward, I am going to be asking for a $2.50 donation per mix. Granted, I will give away the first mix in each set for free and the donation will only be for each remaining set in a series. For instance, if I put out BPM Edition 2010 v1 and it has three sets in it, you’ll receive the first one at no cost, however a donation of $2.50 will be required for each of the last two in order to download them. This is something I have tried to avoid, but my expenses outside of this blog have increased substantially, and I can no longer justify the cost to maintain it. I realize I could strip out the hosting, the artwork, direct downloads, the streaming and some of the other goodies you guys may not even think about and enjoy nevertheless; but if there is one thing my mom always taught me, it’s that if you aren’t going to do something right, then there is no point in doing at all. So, if you guys are willing to help out in that manner, that’d be great. If not, I’ll have no choice but to shut things down. For now, we can consider this a trial, which I’m willing to run through March. If it doesn’t pan out, then it doesn’t. I just want everyone to realize this is NOT meant as some form of punishment, it’s just what I have to do in order to keep this site up and running in its current state. I have weighed all available options including a flat fee monthly donation, but that would prevent new people from discovering this site. The per download option provided at a low (I think reasonable) rate allows me to occasionally give things away at no cost, which in turn would provide opportunities for would be followers to experience my work. This was not an easy decision to make, but it is one that is necessary for the survival of Party Favorz. I hope everyone can appreciate my need to invoke these changes and if you stick with me, I won’t let you down.
Finally, I want to thank each and every one of you that have supported my efforts to bring high quality dance music for your workouts, parties or personal listening pleasure during 2009. Just over two years and counting, this site has been a blessing for me and from some of the messages I’ve received, it’s like an addiction to others; just call me Doctor House, but I don’t make house calls <grin>. I hope everyone’s year is off to a good start and I should be back in a couple of weeks with the first BPM edition of 2010, followed by the Winter Edition. For now, check out the Gagalicious video by our good friend The Herminio Experience. If you like this, you really need to check out the rest of his work. From Madonna to Britney and everyone in between, his videos ROCK!
Until the next time . . . ENJOY!
