I would just like to say thank you to everyone involved in my first party @ the State Palace. I have been going to parties for about 3 years now and I have always been dying to get the State Palace and this past weekend I finally made it. I am from Cincinnati, and I came all the way to New Orleans to see what all the hype was about. All tolled I have probably been to about 150 parties in the past three years all over the midwest and Southeast and a couple in the North. I would have to say that The State Palace is the DOPEST party venue I have ever seen, the sound was top notch, the talent was top notch, and I don't even know what to say about the lighting. I came to this party by myself and spent my last $35 to get in and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I was very impressed with the scene in New Orleans because I had heard mixed things about it and now I know that New Orleans has a great scene and you guys should feel lucky because you have what you have. I met so many people that actually came to the party to see the dope ass talent, and the vibe was awsome the whole night. I really liked the fact that the Dj's spin their best sets at The State palace, because it shows. I had seen most of the Dj's who spun the party, but when I had seen them at other the venues they were no where near as good. All in all I had an awsome time and I hope to be in the area again for Freakfest, regardless thanks to all the kids who still know what it means to be a party kid.
