TL;DR: Grossly overcrowded with a subpar DJ
I've been to at least 5 Gimme Gimme Events-- overall, they have been great! However, I wanted to leave feedback on the most recent one I attended to hopefully give organizers a heads-up, because the 4/20 dance in Denver fell really flat and made me feel cheated out of my money and time.
1. The dance floor was SO CRAMPED to the point where you could barely bring your arms out from the sides or move safely on and off the dance floor. It was basically impossible to find/get to your friends, naturally circulate in/out to get another drink or go to the bathroom, etc. without being jostled, spilled on, or having to press your body on other people's bodies in mutually uncomfortable ways.
2. This particular DJ felt really out of touch (it was 4/20; you can read between that euphemism) and was mixing music in confusing, anticlimactic ways that made it a struggle to keep good energy going. He insisted people open up a circle under the disco ball out of nowhere when there was already barely any space to move. There were maybe 10 minutes I genuinely enjoyed myself in the hour and a half I was able to last before not believing it was worth it to stick it out until the end.
In general, I feel like this event has always been slightly overpriced (it's literally just a themed music set where sometimes they drop balloons), but I've been willing to pay over and over again because I love having a place and time to dance with my friends to disco music. This time I felt cheated out of my money and my experience; whatever changes were made from organizing it in the past resulted in a huge disappointment! I was not able to enjoy dancing and being with my friends because the crowd had everyone fighting for their lives, and the disco music and vibes were being grossly mishandled by someone who didn't even seem present enough to operate a Lime scooter, let alone be aware of how his MCing and music choices were being received.
PLEASE PRESERVE ADEQUATE SPACE WITH TICKET CAPS (don't only go off of fire department capacity) AND BETTER VET DJ BOOKINGS IN THE FUTURE <3
