I think people misinterpret what Rumors really is or maybe i just see it differently. The whole Rumors idea is sort of a social gathering with some music being played. Guy for the most part brings in his friends to play the party and its a free event. So while i can see why some people might be turned off from it, I wouldn't go in expecting to hear the same kind of set you would at like an open to close in Nyc, Miami, or London from Guy Gerbs. I've never had a bad time at a Rumors party anywhere and have always thought the music was decent enough but do certainly agree yes the crowd can be a little pretentious which can hurt the vibe at times (but never enough to ruin it at least for me).
