every now and then i'll get the question and insta-retort "why do you guys do something like once a month instead of every week? people would be more likely to come once a month" it's a question that grows wearying, but i must admit is fair seeing as it has been demonstrably true. the easy answer has always been to simply say that "our only real option where we aren't under the sway of the schedules of sororities and fraternities" which we are very truly subject to in a once a month schedule. given that there is the very real possibility that we can be pre-empted by the awkward and white, we might as well go for boogie bytes 4 out of 5 thursdays a month instead of maybe once.
but the reason deep down why boogie bytes exists and why lazy pixel existed before it is not to necessarily give people a party or a reason to go nuts, its to give them a regular option to do so. that may seem to be two of the same thing contradicting each other, but if you want to really reach out to people, you have to meet them halfway and this can in fact mean on their schedule. plus if you want to give people who will support the music and the scene already, why not give them a reliable, regular alternative instead of a rare party then having us all go back into our holes? this gives us a unique opportunity because this simply does not exist other places in starkville (and if you say dave's i will politely beg to differ.) and we're just glad to have been given the chance.
that being said, we've received a really fantastic response from people, who have come out and invited their friends to create a perpetually growing group of people and excitement. i'm continually surprised at how we add members and really excited to see where we can go over the next few months.
