What's Exchange LA like?

Hi all,

What's Exchange LA like compared to say Circus or Avalon?

Since it's insomniac, I assume they don't allow light shows. Do you see anyone sneaking in gloves or anything?

I moved to nor cal for a year, moved back, but haven't been to Exchange LA yet. I'm reallllllly excited to see Myon & Shane 54 in November.

I've seen occasional light sticks, don't remember gloves. They often give out those flashing sticks. Check out their picture gallery

Not really a glow stick light show type of place. Its a little more upscale IMO.

Exchange isn't a glove type of place, it's more of a typical club when compared to Circus and Avalon which feel more like music venues.

Ill let you know after tonight. Expecting Victorias secret models like the social network movie, not expecting washers or trannies like Avalon

its a nice club that definitely attracts a wide range of people. they and target a bottle service crowd. that crowd however, has not really discovered downtown yet. i personally think its one of the nicest clubs in the city. the dance music vibe is not quite there yet.

oh... and drinks can get expensive.

It does. Many Circus regulars have become Exchange regulars. I doubt 72hrpartyanimal has gone to many trance nights at the Exchange.

actually i did. I went to Andy Moore w/ G&D. I didn't last long though. They were still serving booze by the time I left. The music was killen me.

Maybe the next Sean Tyas party I'll make a reappearance

Many...so of the 75 that attend circus every week, only a portion of them go to exchange? hopefully not too packed in there, i've heard it gets hot, which leads to sweaty mofo's which leads to smelly people!

i've seen people bring in glowing hula hoops and those light sticks on strings and such at exchange.

and you see glovse.

they dont search you or anything at exchange like avalon so i'm figuring they really dont care. just doesnt seem like that vibe is there yet.
