Please Read - Re: Claude Young

[dan the acid man]

thats terrible, we are all guilty of not backing up our data, but when something like this happens, it make's you think.
I would be pretty certain whoever stole it, did so for the hardware, and it will have been formatted by now :cry:

[scienceofuse]

Yup, I guess that laptop is as good as gone... Isn't it naive to think that you're gonna get your stolen laptop back if you ask really really nicely? The person who took it obviously lacks some fundamental moral values and it's stupid to think that he's gonna return what he stole just 'cos it means the world to someone he doesn't care about. I feel sorry for Claude though, he's a nice guy and a true legend - he doesn't deserve this kind of shite happening to him right before he's about to retire... Not many chances of getting it back though... :roll:

[zaalmoetlos]

this is f***ed up don't understand that people can sink so low


hope it will be returned

yeah, but this thread was as much a plee for information (someone may have spotted it being taken for example) as it was a plee to the crooks

[Adverse]

if anyone knows who took my laptop, my wide screen TV, my DVD player, my sofa and my even my new carpet in my place. Oh, also they did not pay for the food they took from my fridge.

Please contact me.

The point is that it's probably somewhere far far away by now.

[jonnyspeed]

Harsh but not something that you can't see coming - what happens if it just fried anyway?

Computer basics:
- Use an Anti-Virus
- Back-up valuable data
- Use secure passwords

Henry! please tell me you have a back-up of your laptop? Disaster recovery as all that!

peace.

It's always good to post this type of information on the net. I'm not sure how many of you have heard of this story but, not so long ago, a DJ in california stole a private dubplate belonging to DB while he was spinning at a party in California. Due to discussion of the loss on the net, it turns out they were able to find the kid who did it because someone just happened to post a picture with the thief holding the record. You just never know. Plus, on the really sad side of things, if the thief becomes aware of what they took and the value of the data on it, thereis the chance that they will try and sell it back tot he person they stole it from. It's a not so uncommon game in NYC from a number of lowlifes apparently.

Hello friends,

This is Andre, promoter of the Circuito techno parties in Brasil.

Just thought I could drop a quick message to tell something about Claude Young.

We had him booked for our third anniversary party, which will happen on October 23rd here in Brasil.

The contracts were signed three months ago, and the airplane ticket was sent in August.

Two weeks ago, Claude cancelled, with no explanation. I spoke to him, and he demanded to fly on another airline. I cancelled the first ticket, which was on Air France, and reserved him a British Airways flight (that cancellation cost me over 400 dollars).

Last Friday, Claude e-mailed me personally, and said he would be coming to Brasil.

Since then, he told his agent he changed his mind and was not coming anymore. But he never wrote me. He didn´t collect his ticket and didn´t apply for his visa. He simply dissapeared.

We have been promoting this gig for over two months. It would have been Claude´s first visit to Brasil, and we were all very anxious to see this legendary performer.

Now, unfortunately, things have changed. We really have no desire to have him playing for us. His contempt and disrespect for our audience has left us dumbfounded. This has caused us a reasonable financial loss, not to count personal stress.

We were lucky enough to book James Ruskin for this gig to replace Mr. Young. I´m sure it will be a great gig.

Best,
Andre

i feel sad as well!!!!!
i just got mine brand new laptop if any body will be any close to it i will shoot the asshole with mine home made AK-47 the most powerfull machine gun in the world!!!!

[CY2]

FIRST:
Let me send my kindest regards to everyone here and show my appreciation for your concern for my stolen computer.
All the data was protected so im fine with the info.

It's just a bit of a let down to have your stuff stolen in a club your playing for.

And by the way the club owner and my German agent have not come up with any plan to replace the machine.

NOW on to this clown in Brazil who wrote this message:

I am not going to go into to many details because if I do it would be unprofessional because there are companies involved and I (unlike this promoter who I have never met in my life by the way) don't like spreading shit about people even if they are in the wrong.

All I can say is I applied for the Visa for Brazil as requested. Was given some sob story by the embassy of Brazil for losing my application. This was no fault of mine and the Visa could not be issued on time.

There is more but I dont want to go any further but please be assured I would not have cancelled the event if it was not for good reason.

This guys is typical of most shady promoters, if he does not get his way, he attacks. Support these clowns at your own risk.....

Peace

One more story about promoters / DJs.

Weve herd similar stories many times. They happen most of the times when many people are involved and that the information is not transmitted in the right way ...
Very few DJs having Claude Young's fame would have enetred personnally in contact with the promoter. So yeah something wrong happend and made the gig cancelled, but I dont thnik its very useful to make a personnal attack against Claude Yong.

That makes me sad techno world has become a money money world. There's a financial risk in everything. Thats part of your job if your job is making money with everyhting you can so please dont complain mr circuito.

Just my two cents.

Your absolutely right.
In my opinion there are to many middle people in this business. I understand this is a business and I like to do things respectfully and try my best to accommodate if i can in certain situations. But this is like kid's games, u wont do what I want so im going to bad mouth you.... it's pathetic.

It's also sad to see the scene has deteriorated this far.
After consulting with some of you on line and some close friends of mine in the business I have decided not to e run out of town by a bunch of greedy manipulators.

We will be dealing with all our affairs in house from now on.
This is electronic music and the whole point of this was to be independent and thats what's coming from from us here in Glasgow for 2005.

Again thanks for all your support folks and kindest regards:
claude

Dear Claude

Sorry, but this story is very hard to believe.

To apply for a Brazilian visa, you need your plane ticket. And you never picked up the ticket I sent you in AUGUST.

Furthermore, this is the e-mail you sent me on Friday, October 8:

"Hi Andre,

I have informed xxxx i will be coming to your event so
next week i hope to arrange the visa.

Regards
Claude"

Well, it´s clear from your message that you never applied for the visa, right?

I don't want to start any shouting matches here. But I have a responsability towards my audience, which had been expecting you here for a long time.

Peace,
Andre
