should be a good night! Is EDM with a couple of heavy hitting DJ's on wednesday something they are gonna try to get going regularly?

Slide on a wednesday night was my first time clubbing in SF Aug 07. They gotta keep that slide open for the patrons, was a fun way to start my SF clubbing experiences. my gf at the time wanted to go down the slide but she was wearing a dress and that was against the sliding rules.

Guess they want to avoid direct competition on Thursday with Vessel. They've done it a few times with big DJs on Thursday with disappointing results, even with Vessel's regular Thursday promoters.

Vessel has already taken the time and energy to work out a formula that works for them, so that they can fill the club even with a local headliner.

Ruby Skye and Slide have all the experience and connections they need to run a successful EDM week night. I mean if Vessel can do it, I am sure they can do it. They just need a little patience to figure out what works for them, like they've found out that promoters are not the key.

If there's one thing I think Slide has that may hurt it for a regular weeknight party, it's that it can be darrrrk inside. Vessel, 111 Minna, other places that have done well on weekday nights on a regular basis tend to be brighter.

Slide kicks the crap out of those other places overall, IMO. But I like it dark!

The lighting guy often makes it dark in Vessel when the club is filled with people, so I don't think it matters that much. Vessel somehow is able to get the party vibe going, get people dancing by 11:30pm, and the party takes off from there. I think this is the key. But others might have different perspectives.

I've only been to Vessel a couple times, but Slide was pretty much pitch dark with like a light on the DJ and a flashing light over the floor and the lights that were INSIDE the bar itself. Ahh, so dark. It was nice. It was like 1015 on a dark night. Orrrr, Ruby Skye when Digweed plays and has the lights turned down as much as possible (sometimes even asking for the projector to be turned off...Diggers is awesome). THen again, I've only been to slide for special events there....so maybe the lighting there isn't usually as dark as it was the few times I've been.

When Vessel was dark (though I only showed up there three times ever...not big on the crowd and sound was bleh), there was still an ambience to the place. Slide kinda has none. It's kinda meant so people can be private in their groups. Like a place for the mob to hang out or something :P

Slide has sucked the past few times... actually every time! Either too packed and/or sound sucks. ugh sound for Nine and Umek was just horrible (Umek's set was garbage too). There has been a few good nights at Vessel including Paul Ritch live or Hernan Cattaneo (best SF set yet!). Either way I dislike both venues... although Vessel tends to bring a nice techno/house crowd (and vibe) that rarely steps into that venue. I've missed out on the Burridge nights there too, can't imagine how sick those were Oh Digweed was meh last time too. Seriously, Ruby why did you let a bongo player in? Diggers last hour was the worst I've heard from him too. He used to play crazy epic last hours too What a waste of good mushrooms...
