At the end of each event, I sit back in complete awe at what just happened. There are so many people
that work together to make each event a success. In the case of Kinetic 3, the list is longer than ever. We
started this event series when three people had the idea of unifying the electronic music culture of Seattle at the Pacific Science Center, and we have succeeded. The diversity of people coming together for each night is amazing and I am humbled to think that I
have a part in making it happen. Thank you to everyone from Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, B.C., and all the
other cities and countries around the world that make the pilgrimage to Seattle twice a year.
A few special shout outs:
Brian - I am in awe at your dedication to this event and all of Infinite Connections. Thank you for being here
when I could not. Working with the talent, promoting, playing, supporting... you are invaluable.
Jesiah and all of LUCID Audio (TProphet, Tony...) - Jesiah you are my go-to guy for all my sound and power needs. It is so wonderful to have you back. Each room was at its peak because your dedication to high fidelity shines.
Jen Parraz - I value you so much, you have to know that. Coat check, vendors, concessions... so much for one person to handle and you did it beautifully. Thank you for being a part of the team.
Nicole Williams - The newest kid on the block. You picked up the art curator role with grace and beauty. I am so excited to see what you do with your next set of tasks. Your continued knowledge acquisition through school and work is going to make you a force in this industry.
Betsy and Jenny at PSC - You give and you give and you give... that should be the motto of your staff. Thank you for your continued support in making these events happen. We look forward to working with you every time.
Osiris - We can never underestimate the importance of the visual elements. You provide this series with an identity that shapes the decisions we make. Thank you for using color to bring Magnetic/Kinetic to life... and for cleaning up the smoking section at the end of the night.
Ramiro and Uniting Souls - I never have enough good things to say about the lineup in the house room or your volunteers. Every time, I am blown away by your choice in talent and the way you weave them together to create a room that is bumpin' all night long!
Sean and Broken Disco (Recess, Patrick, Matt) - One of the best decisions we ever made was bringing you on board. Your room provided us with a much needed element. I look forward to the next time.
Kimberly and Chickenhed (yes, you too A'damn) - I'm always a little hesitant, but I am never disappointed. As always, I am blown away by the creativity and music. I am so excited that you are a part of this experience, I can't wait to see what you come up with next time. And a special W00t to Kimberly for herding this motley crew together; that is a HUGE task.
Jon and Space Virgins - Efficiency, competency and most of all, FUN! So many good things to say about the bars. The drinks are always stiff, the bartenders always sexy and the overall experience makes me want to spend many hours there. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Kristina (Gnome) - My right-hand woman. There is no task too big or too small for you. You filled some very big shoes and I am eternally grateful. You blow me away with your skills and gracious attitude. I have much to learn.
Emily and Andrew - I have so many levels of thank you that it is hard to know where to begin. Thank you for coming to our rescue with a truck, multiple times, thank you for the food, thank you for staying late and making sure we had everything... basically, thank you for being there. Every time I eat a dark chocolate egg, I will think of you.
Obsidian Moon (Kiymbah and Chris) - Stunning performances in the IOSIS Art Party room. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Seizure Labs (Etienne, Kevin and Manuel) - Innovation is the best word I can use to describe you. You are never content with the status quo and for that I am truly thankful. It is a joy to walk into the IOSIS Art Party room and not know what I am going to expect from the visuals. Keep it coming.
Yuba Foxfire - You saved us from the number one complaint we got last time, too much light in the IOSIS Art Party room. Thank you for getting up on that scissor lift and saving us from the emergency lights that have to stay on all night. And as if that wasn't enough, you turn around and do some great visuals for the Broken Disco room... WOW!
Jodi from Sodo Pop and all the Box Office staff - No one was in line for more than a short while and that was because of you and your staff. It is so good to know that I never have to worry about what is going on at the door because you have it all taken care of.
Tabasco and all the Security team - Just reading through all the reviews proves to me that you are the best man for the job. You and the security team you assemble are fantastic! I can't imagine what I would be going through without you.
All the musical performers - It would be hard to call you each out by name, but rest assured that we know who you are. You provided the true spirit of this event with your music. Don't ever stop!
Extra thanks to all the volunteers that came early to help setup - you are the elite few that make the last minute magic happen; Kati and Sean for volunteering to wristband early in the evening; Shapey and Lynne for the use of their tent; Joe and Rhonda for taking care of Eitan and getting us our badly needed sand; BrownPaperTickets for making the whole ticketing process so smooth; our amazing vendors (Cleo, Tami, Angel, Gary) that brought you snacks, toys and costumes...
It takes many people to run this event and each one deserves to be appreciated for what they bring. If I missed anyone, it is not because you are not important, but because my brain can only hold so much information at one time. Know that you are valued and then next time you see me, I give you permission to give me a small shove (I said SMALL!).
I would love to be able to guarantee that there will be a Magnetic IV, but to be honest at this time we are not sure. There was a bit of damage to the Pacific Science Center and both sides are evaluating if we can continue. The extra expense of the cleanup adding to the raised PSC cost we experienced this year may tip the scales and make this an unsustainable event. From the PSC, they are not sure if they can handle the amount of cleanup and broken exhibits they experienced this time nor do they know if the animals can continue to handle the noise. If you would like to see Magnetic/Kinetic continue, ask yourself if you could go there without your string toys (thing attached to strings swing around and break exhibits), would you be willing to pay just a little more for your presale tickets and do you know of any businesses that would like to be a part of this through sponsorship or vending? These are the questions we have to ask not just ourselves, but you, our patrons. It is the answers to these questions that will determine whether or not Magnetic IV happens in November as planned.
Thank you again for all your support. Seattle is truly a magickal city and I am proud to be a part of its history.
