The Players Ball was one of the best ones ever, from a performance perspective.

However, my main concern is for the sponsors and I have to give an apology for the disorganization of the management at the venue. We had meetings and we went over simple things like seating charts and they got a few tables fucked up and some weren't even on the list. I promise you I gave them the right details, they're gonna hear from me today about that. I tried my hardest last night to over come the line problems and many other fires I was busy putting out all night. Last year we didn't have any issues with this venue, but this year it is under a new management team, they were overwhelmed. Just know that I tried my hardest, and at times when I was on stage during performances, it was to manage the stage and get fools out of the way of the artists. If KB and I weren't up there, we wouldn't of had a performance by the artists, there were too many people jamming on stage. I kind of felt like my hands were tied with making sure the performances went off.

The show was awesome, but for me, if the venue isn't on top of their game, things can look ugly at times.

I'd also like to thank NATS for their continued support, I know they had some issues with the venue as well and I'm going to try my best to make sure I understand exactly what happened. I'll be in touch in the next day or 2 with NATS to compare notes and see what was going on upstairs.

Other bad things included the sound company cutting off the mic as I was trying to plug the hell out of our sponsors, I waited on stage with a dead mic in my hand, fortunately I did get all sponsors plugs throughout the night.

The door was jammed, we probably lost 100 to 200 people that gave up, the venue controls the doors and I tried my best to fish as many people in and get those lines moving.

The Players Cards helped a ton of people get through the line much faster, but it was hard to penetrate through that mob of people.

We had some damage, someone fucked up an antique bench that will cost me thousands of dollars, so I'm pretty pissed off at whoever fucked that bench up, not cool. It was demolished.

The show was tight and the crowd was hyped all night, can't wait to see the video. Our sponsors will receive some great post production video support to help off set the issues during the night, this footage will blow people away so I have a feeling the branding of these clips will get some eye balls for my pimps.

MTV loved the party and shot great footage. AlternativeCash.com sported a little private party in their suite, MTV shot great pre-party content.

Did I mention DMC from RunDMC was in the house? I spoke with him for a while and loved every second of it. He's a legend, very cool he showed.

Now webmasters, don't feel so bad if you couldn't get through the mess, celebs could get through either. Coolio, Chingy and Gorilla Black came and left when they couldn't get in.

The Woody Awards got rushed because Cypress needed to get on stage, but I still got to read off all of the winners and a few winners got to speak and say their thanks.

This party was probably the best Ball over all, maybe tied with the Snoop Dogg Players Ball.

was Merchant Solutions there? :1orglaugh

Daniel was there all night, I saw them having a blast.

I was bummed I had to fly home a day early and missed the event.

great to meet you and thanks for feeding my head http://bettylove.com/graphx/bong.gif

Sorry i could not make it..i bet it was a blast..i had to leave early for WORK work...lol :pimp :pimp :pimp

Bump for thee man

as a fan.. it was the best one ever...
DMC of Run DMC .. DJ Premier ... and FLAVA FLAV
and the collection of REAL Pimps in the house.

the bouncers were cool they didnt say shit about the weed smoke it was great.

oh did any one see the pimp fall off the stage


PIMP in DISTRESS...
.PIMP DOWN
...PIMP DOWN

fucking soo funny I cried

I think you covered some of the issues I had ;-)

my biggest issue is with a fat fucking piece of shit "webmaster" who trampled his way through the crowd bellowing "SPONSOR!" while stepping on two SMALL women. You know who you are you piece of shit and how about eating a couple slimfast bars??
Tarpy and Pattyecake can also vouch for this fucking piece of shit...

sorry to rant in your thread, D-Money. Luckily, I recognized one of the doormen from when he used to work at the Hard Rock and he helped get us through the crowd (we had sponsor suite passes thanks to the kickass folks at NATS). Uh, then we got in and found the complications they had. But, it was still a great show once people were able to get inside (after security did this crazy thing called "forming people into a line" ;-)).

Next time, I'd suggest have a bullhorn though for outside so people standing out in the line in the freezing cold at least have an idea of what was going on...

I can't even remember what happened last night, I was walking in a special cloud all night long. Cypress Hill was so fucking hot. I was so impressed. And Digital Underground did one of their best Players Ball performances ever.

I've gotta give a shout to a few peeps.
D$ ... love you man. You are truly one of the flyest white pimps I know.
KB - Stop wearing that suit.
Sean CCBill - thanks for the shots and drink. It brought me well needed relief.
Chronic Avenger - You know you my dog. The Purple Nurple and Herowana make good friends.
Peter Kusner - one of my favorite peeps from back home in Cleveland. I like you more than KB and D$:) Plus you roll with some cool guys and smokin' hot chicks. Tell Rebecca I love her:)
DJ Evan - sorry for breaking your pimp cups cherry. You spun mad tunes bro.

There are plenty of others that made the night awesome.

Preach

Good show Dmoney... lets make the Rosen-Blatt connection again when you come to Phoenix.

We had to leave early in the afternnoon :(

Heard today that the party was totally sick.

See ya at the next one

it sounds like it was an awesome party ;]

As many people may think that its easy to throw something like that, if they only knew. Throwing a party that size and organizing it is about a years work all for one day. Trust me, i know.

Good job D.

And to all the sponsors, you guys rock.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :helpme

Pimpin' ain't easy.

Thanks Dave, I know you know how tough it really is.

:pimp

I am one of the people that had to turn away and make an exit.... I couldn't get through the line and it was sooo cold outside. I heard the party was a blast though. Maybe I can make it next year, D!

we missed our flight!!!!!!!!!

:1orglaugh

Are you still in Vegas?

I'm leaving tomorrow.

If I were you, I'd see if Sleazydream was there.

I thought I saw you in the crowd, but you disappeared before I could say anything...

Nevermind...Sleazydream WAS there....I'd check it out...

Just wanted to give a quick thanks to John from NATS for the tickets to the show. Was quite the evening. :)

I got my hookup from Charlie....I missed John at the booth each time I went over to talk to him...the company's a total class act all around

Thanks D$....... :bowdown Mobbucks had an awesome time.......Good job..

Oh yea, we had a great time handing out cash money for free at the bathrooms..... Hope everyone got some......

Only complaint I had is they would not let us go back upstairs to the bathroooms to put some banners in the bathrooms and hand out cash and goodies..... But thats all good, we hit the downstairs bathrooms hard.... :bowdown :bowdown :bowdown

that sounds like one hell of an awesome show

best players ball yet for me I was not tired from the show and had an awesome time.. and my crazy frind mad eout with some super slut on stage she had a fucking blast


Thanks D$ and crew

Paid for the tickets and ppl were giving them away for free at Internext + I couldn't get in...:(

Congrats on the great Show D$ i'll be there for sure next year

yeah no doubt!! Im hittn you as soon as we get home

great players ball! :)

cant wait til next time

well i hope the good out weighed the bad

hey, another souvenir from the show...
my wife ended up with a fractured foot and didn't bother telling me about the pain until we got home because she didn't want to ruin my night...

actually this isn't so much a souvenir from the show as much as her brush with "eliteness"

so, no slam meant against D-Money or the Player's Ball with regards to this incident

The Players ball was a good time. What was with the guy that was running out the front door with his head bleading. I was walking down the stairs from the vip section up stairs and saw some guy dripping with blood. Guess he didn't have fun. That was the best players ball that I have ever attended. thanks

stop being afraid to say the dickheads name

was a great night, wish i had have picked up my players card though, would have helped getting in quicker.

thanks to all the sponsors and D-money for putting it together. Cheers to my mates over at Merchant Solutions, cya back in oz.

here are just a few pics

cheers, matt

hahah, I named him in the other thread
none other than SleazyDream
I'd like to be able to find the other woman to see what her damages were...I know patteycake will chime in when she gets home as well as maybe a few others who were trampled....
you would have thought it was last call at an all you can eat buffet...a one man stampede...

I had a great time and the show was excellent. Yep, one of the best player?s balls ever. :2 cents:

Huge thanks to KittenCash.com too, left them out in the first post. My bad, much love, I appreciate the support Josh.

What did Sleazydream do? He broke your wifes foot? I small lawsuit. :2 cents:

he stampeded several people, including women (my wife isn't very big and the other gal beside her was even smaller) and didn't even so much as apologize, just barged on through...
I could give a fuck about lawsuit...a simple REAL apology would suffice...
the injury is covered by our insurance, but maybe a donation to a charity the size of the medical bill had we had to pay it...
it was just a really classless thing to do...
