REGARDING THE INCIDENT AT DECOS 08:14:09

ALRIGHT THIS IS ALL THAT I'M GOING TO SAY ABOUT THE CRAP THAT WENT ON LAST NIGHT AT DECOS.....



LAST NIGHT I WAS REQUESTED TO SHOOT A CONCERT FEATURING THE lax boys AND OTHER LOCAL ARTISTS (rob grimes AND sidewayz ent). AFTER ACCEPTING THE EVENT I WAS INFORMED OF A "GUEST VIP APPEARANCE" THAT WAS TO BE MADE BY chris brown. I CONFIRMED THAT THIS INFORMATION WAS CORRECT DESPITE RUMOR THAT IT WAS FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.


UPON APPEARING AT THE VENUE AND WATCHING THE ARTIST ENTER I DID OBSERVE THAT THE PERSON THERE WAS NOT chris brown AND IN FACT APPEARED TO BE A LOOK ALIKE. MY SUSPICION WAS CONFIRMED LATER THAT NIGHT.


DUE TO COMPLICATIONS IN VIP CROWD CONTROL WHICH HINDERED MY ABILITY TO GET THE BEST IMAGES DURING THE PERFORMANCES AND MY OVERALL IRRITATION WITH THE EVENT I CHOSE TO LEAVE THE VENUE.


WHILE I DO KNOW THE IDENTITY OF THE PERSON WHO APPEARED LAST NIGHT I WANT TO MAKE IT ADAMANTLY CLEAR THAT:


I WAS BOOKED TO SHOOT THE EVENT, I DID NOT BOOK OR HAVE ANY PART IN PROMOTING THE EVENT.


I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF HOW THE CONTRACT WAS MADE, CAME ABOUT, AGREED UPON, AND/OR SATISFIED BY EITHER PARTY.


OUT OF THE SENSITIVITY OF THE SITUATION NO PHOTOS WILL BE RELEASED ON anjliksol, shawtz, myspace, OR TO ANY PROMOTERS OR PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE.



WHETHER THIS WAS DONE IN GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND UNETHICAL ADVERTISING PRACTICE, OR IT WAS A TRUE MISUNDERSTANDING AND A CASE OF SOMEONE BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF IT IS A SAD INCIDENT... AND JUST THAT.


IT IS NOT THE HABIT OR TREND OF PROMOTERS/VENUES/ IN SAN DIEGO TO UTILIZE FALSE ADVERTISING OR FAKE CELEBRITIES TO CREATE HYPE AND/OR GENERATE INCOME. I ENCOURAGE THE NIGHTLIFE PATRONS TO NOT HOLD IT AGAINST THE MAJORITY OF PROMOTERS AND EVENTS AND TO PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT NIGHTLIFE IN SAN DIEGO.


LAST NIGHT WAS JUST A SAD AND DARK INCIDENT... MY PRAYERS AND GOOD WISHES GO OUT TO ALL THOSE WHO WERE RUBBED THE WRONG WAY OR WHO ARE UNDER SCRUTINY AS A RESULT.


THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND CONTINUED SUPPORT OF ME, shawtz by anjl, AND anjliksol.
