-- Anyone here from NYC?

Posted by Redeye on Mar-15-2001 01:38:

Just checking to see how many NYC Heads there are here, because im sure we could put together a pretty crazy party if we all met up. Just to let you know me and a few of my friends work at Float Thursdays and Saturdays. I have a guestlist and my 2 roommates work the door, so if anyone is interested in coming by to say hello, let me know

NYC

Me live in NYC

Cool about the Float guest list..i've never been there. Do they spin trance there?? I am beginning to tire of twilo

Posted by Redeye on Mar-15-2001 03:56:

yes, Float does play trance. The resident is DJ Serge, resident at Ministry of Sound for 4 years, and it gets packed on saturdays and we just strted thursday nights, but with the same format as saturdays.

Its a very upscale club with a strict dresscode, not that large, holds about 2000 people, but definately is a good time.

I totally Agree redeye

First off i'm glad to see someone who likes the upscale club scene...I have been to float and i can tell u that its a very nice club with quality people, I went to satchi club the other day and although its not huge I liked the music and the crowd was good as well, i live in Mt. Vernon which is 15 minutes away from NYC, I go to the city all the time, I mostly like the lounge/upscale club scene because i used to go to all the other major NYC clubs when i was younger, anyways good to meet u guys/girls/ hopefully we could meet up one day...

Saci

I've been to Saci several times. I went on a sat in the end of Jan & had a SICK TIME! Muzik was really good...I was Drinking Cristal in VIP. Then I went 3 wks ago, the muzik was horrible. Castles in the sky, spente le stelle, I turn to U. Over played commerical Cheese! Crowd is very cliquey there...u only talk to ppl u know or introduced to by friends. & The guys there do not know how to behave. I got wet 3x from ppl's drinks. It's fun if the muzik is good, u get a table w/ ur friends otherwise its not sux & worth $25. I won't go there again even comped.

Posted by Redeye on Mar-15-2001 17:38:

My opinion of Saci is very biased, 1) because we ran NYE there this year and i thought the staff and the club as a whole were terrible. Very unprofessional and didnt deliver on any of the promises on the flyer, which usually happens, but they didnt deliver on any. It was open bar all night but the waitresses never came to get our orders in our section, so the service was terrible. 2) the music was commercial cheese, laced with euro-pop, not my thing, so we left at 4 and i havent been back since, even though they are trying to get back into things by taking over cheetah's thursday night, which isnt helping i assume. On the other hand, Float is completely professional. The crowd is better, the service is much better, and the crowd is there for a good time till at least 5 or 6 on the third floor. We just started doing thursdays and saturdays in january, with saturday nights being completely packed by 12:30 - 1. So we are trying to get thursdays going like saturdays. Its the same format as saturdays with the same dj and same trnace/house sounds, so if any of you are interested in coming down let me know

Oh by the way Im down for anything in NYC, but since i only have fridays out of Float, i just thought it would be easier to meet there.

I haven't been to Float yet. But I heard if ur not VIP it sux. Is there really 3 vip rooms? Fridays I'm usually at fridays, depends whose spinning.

Posted by Redeye on Mar-15-2001 18:07:

If you are not vip at Float you can still have a good time because most people dance on the first floor anyway which isnt vip. It is true that there are 3 vip rooms. The second floor balcony with tables overlooking the dancefloor, the back hiphop lounge on the second floor, and the 'third floor' are the 3 vip areas. Its very easy usually to get to the second floor if you are a girl and you get there early. The third floor is a different issue, it doesnt open until 2 and its only for the vip of the vip, but its really not that good anyway. Its really hot and crowded up there, with little tv's so you can watch the people on the 1st floor dancing, besides that i stay on the second floor.

Well all i can say is...Saci was fun because i was chillin up at the top bar on the couches, i can say one thing it got crowded and was hot and my martinis were horrible, when i went to float i was hanging on the first floor but back at the end on the couches, its was pretty nice and the people were quality...I was about to do China club on thurdays but i'm not sure where my financial backers stand..

Posted by Redeye on Mar-15-2001 19:13:

I used to promote for China Club back in the day but the appeal of China has kind of died as a result of all the new upscale clubs popping up monthly like light, spa, float, and loads more. I actually switched over for a year or 2 and was doign guestlists at exit, world, and ohm but i cant stand those clubs or the crowds that they bring anymore. So now ive moved on to float and maybe thursdays or fridays at Spa, but im not sure yet since Float thursdays are still relatively new.

Posted by Twilogoddess on Mar-15-2001 19:18:

China club is good on mondays. Older crowd.

I've been to light on a thursday, pretty chill. Didn't really like Spa on thursday, Tuesdays are good. Ohm used to be good like 2 yrs ago. Haven't been to World. I heard its mad young & its the Cheesy Sound Factory crowd.

I could be drinkin free liquor in VIP w/ Brad Pitt & not have a good time if the muzix blows. The only place I know I'm guaranteed to have a SICK time is Twilo. The phazon system *drool*.

Posted by Redeye on Mar-15-2001 19:23:

Yeah, i still hit twilo when i like the dj thats coming but im not big into sweating and dancing my ass off for hours. I was a twilo head when i was like 14-18, but have backed off since moving back to NYC in May and I have basically just lounged it up especially in the summers around union sq. and lemon bar

Posted by mizzuno on Mar-15-2001 19:34:

Ok well, i'm not a promoter but i have held some cool trance parties in the city, a good friend of mince used to have an apartment on 50th bet 2nd and 3rd,(1 block from 151) it was on the first floor and it had a backyard! it was a split level duplex and last year we held two awesome parties with great music and i used projectors to do graphics to the music and play the matrix, it was great we had like 150 people show and we had 4 kegs,not crappy budweiser....(magik hat, sieraa nevada) a bar downstairs with liquor and a couple cases of wine. A friend and i did all the sound and lighting and it last till like 4 in the morning( god the diplomats must have loved that!). Now my friend who has some spare cash wants to start a night at china club, i'm his music consultant and we're not too sure if we want the china club crowd...we're looking for more of an A list type of crowd to start, anyway..if u would like to get involved or have suggestions....feel free..

Posted by Redeye on Mar-15-2001 19:46:

There are so many clubs that are in desperate need of a thursday night thats its actually one of the worst nights around. Cheetah had a good thursday night but they moved it to saci and it has been dead ever since. If you are looking for an a-list crowd and you can bring alot of people yourself you shouldnt have a problem and you wouldnt even need a financial interest. It doesnt cost us anything to do float and we only do the door till 12:30 and all our friends are comped or reduced and they give us a free table upstairs as well. The other places i have worked with have never done that, plus they give a percentage of the door, so if you are interested in thursdays we can talk about it and maybe try to coordinate something

Posted by mizzuno on Mar-15-2001 19:57:

Redeye the reason for a financial backer is simple, if we're starting from scratch...esp at china we need quality dj's, i'm not trying to start with some played out HH BS. I'm an IT manager not a promoter so i'm not interested in the recruitment scene, i am good at setup and music selection and i know how to do shit right, thats why i'm taking my time, as far as my partner is concerned, he asked me to help him so I am...

Oh and i'm a lounge head to0...i used to hit lemon all the time in fact we were very good friends with the owner, veruka used to be good, but i heard halo is supposed to be really good although i've never been there, but i totally agree NY is all about lounging it!

Mizzz

Posted by Redeye on Mar-15-2001 20:11:

I completely agree on your situation. I work full time commuting between New Jersey, NYC, and philly weekly, but my roommates asked me to help out in getting the places going since i used to do it a long time ago. I also go because my friends all go there, but i know your situation. I have started nights from scratch in Boston and it is really difficult getting through all the political red tape if you are an unknown. The club owners are there for the bottom line and if you dont bring it, not only will you be out on the street but you wont see a cent. So if i can help answer any questions about starting your own night let me know and maybe we can get the lounge thing going. I have been hitting Venue recently, especially the back bed room, really relaxing, so let me know whats up

Posted by mizzuno on Mar-15-2001 20:19:

Might have to take u up on your offer, actually i was thinking of going to float soon so maybe we can get in touch...btw venue sound so familiar where is it? Lastly, what's ur day job, u obviously have acces to a comp.

Posted by Redeye on Mar-15-2001 20:27:

Im a financial Advisor by day, i work on 51st but spend most of my time on amtrak or the JFK Shuttle Venue is a phat lounge on columbus between 84th and 85th. Im not big on any places above the 50's but venue is an exception. (Potion turned me off) I try to hit lounges as frequently as possible and there are too many good ones to list, but right now venue is one of my fav's as well as light, twirl, halo is ok, lot 61, hudson bar, wet bar, whiskey blue, sway, and of course lemon in the summer. There are several others that i have been to, but so many along the way that i cant keep up with the names anymore.

Redeye

Posted by mizzuno on Mar-15-2001 20:34:

Ah yes whiskey blue... as i said my good friend had a duplex on 50th a couple blocks from there, been to a couple that u have mentioned, and i didn't like potion lounge either, lemon is definitely cool and the food ain't bad either, if u go out to eat a lot I highly recommend blue ribbon on thomson....

Posted by Redeye on Mar-15-2001 22:51:

Oh, see now you've done it, you've brought up food Thats what really does it for me in the city. There are so many restaurants that it makes my head hurt. ONe that i went to last week that a friend of mine just opened is number 9. I dont have an exact address because it just opened and he drove so i dont know the exact location except that its down near 9th and 10th. Its really good food. Of course if you want that restaurant/lounge combo, i agree lemon is good, but so is Lot 61 and Metronome. Lot 61 is a little overpriced, but very nice, and Metronome is pretty average but has some decent food.
