Review: Kaskade @ Footwork

I ended up getting there at about 11:45, line was way longer than expected, especially given the weather. waited maybe 30-40mins and still didn't seem like i'd get in any time soon, since the line was held. (was it at full capacity inside? ) so a bit unfortunate not to get in, since i knew i probably blew the roof off. How was it for the people who got in?

apparently was at cap by around 12, and was one of the busiest nights at FW... ever.

wow

damn Well i'm happy for Kaskade at the popularity he's receiving, becuase he has so much producing talent, and definitely deserves the attention.

Not to rip on Kaskade at all, but I'm sure at least a good portion of the crowd were people that originally planned on attended TIL for Starkillers/Austin Leeds

Hope it was a good show

Kaskade has a very large following & it always shows when he comes to the city. He is the total opposite of Starkillers & Austin Leeds so I highly doubt people only went to see him because the show at TIL was cancelled.

you must have been near me in line...we got there just after that and the line only moved because people left or bought there way in through the bouncers. When we were near the front, the SAME guy I saw near the front when we arrived was STILL in line. I'm disappointed to see this same bullshit there as at other clubs...but I guess that's to be expected.

I hoped the weather would keep people away, but no such luck, and we should have planned to be there sooner. We were close door, but at about 12:45 I heard a bouncer say to hold the line altogether and that's when I bailed.

no...why would you say that? Anyone I talked to in line or overheard was there for Kaskade. Anyone already inside wouldn't have had time to go to TIL, leave, and already be inside Footwork.

One guy in line called his friend to see how TIL was, cause he was going to bail, but his friend said it was weak, lol (obv. that's just one guy's opinion).

I don't understand what FW is supposed to do? Start kicking people out? If it's cap it's cap.

Posted by Flec on Feb-02-2008 23:04:

heheh

on a sidenote, when we left footwork we went to the pizza pizza right besidde it after. Jordan Farmar Ronny Turiaf of the lakers walk in and get into line behind us lol.

Posted by Flec on Feb-02-2008 23:06:

once i got in, it really didnt look like it was at cap

and if it was at cap, how did i get in without anyone coming out?

haha awesome

Was the coatcheck line big when you got it? That can cause serious congestion (and danger lol) when it's busy like that. They might have been waiting for that to die down? Pure speculation but it happened at Rene Amesz too...

I say that because it's true. I'm not saying it's a large percentage or anything, but it was at least part of the crowd. The group of people that I was supposed to go to TIL with went to footwork instead because we all found out beforehand that the Starkillers/Austin Leeds show was cancelled at around 4 or 5pm. My plan was to go to Footwork as well until I eventually heard about The Gallery switching formats and decided I'd rather spent my money of one of the last decent saturdays @ Guv

true, but they were still letting people in...if you paid them.

I don't blame 'Footwork'. If they're full, they're full. But when the door staff allow what few spots are left, or do become available, to people who just walk up and pay them off, leaving others in line for more than an hour in cold weather, that's not cool.

that's just my vent...I'm sure management knows it goes on and doesn't at all care.

haha. but yes, it has been tarnished. I had nothing but good to say about the place from previous visits...but the door staff changed that opinion in a hurry.

sure, i'll go tonight...if I get in free, with line bypass, and 1-2 drink tickets to make up for last night's bullshit

i dont get this?

Posted by teufel-man on Feb-03-2008 00:13:

Footworks 'capacity' is questionable....

I remember one time for Eric Entrena I was inside, and everytime i went outside for a smoke I saw this huge line that they wasnt moving because the venue was supposedly at 'capacity'.... even until like 3am, a bunch of my friends didnt even end up getting in.... and honestly inside there was still a good amount of room especially towards the back

I didnt understand why they were being so strict about it
