Im not really sure where to begin on this night. All i can really say was that this night definately ranks up there, mebbe top 5 all time greatest glow night for me. Seriously, just about every little kink I saw with the club was fixed, and things I saw wrong last night, was fixed shortly after. It really gave you a sense that someone was payin attention to detail and never stopped adjusting things to make it right.
When we first got in, I quickly saw a lot of the glow crew and some new recuits i told to come out. I knew right then and there it was gonna be a blast. In total, it was at least 30 of us altogether like old times, all of us anxious to go downstairs.
Drinks: I highly recommend getting ALL of your drinks upstairs. Its way cheaper. Also, I'm not sure if I have the liberty to say who it is, but my bartender was GREAT! Even though I could tell that she was overwhelmed at the time (forgot what beer they served), I told her to slow down and take her time. She took a deep breath and everything was straight. Even then, she was very polite, courteous and of course she made business from me all night as well as from a lot of my friends. Big props to Gerald for the recommendation.
Club: Everything was pretty much the same, though I still wish they would have some sorta lighting at the stairway so you can see the steps.
Sound: Sound was great when Pete came on, but near the end of Pete's set getting ready for Marco, the bass was turned up and distorted. Several songs later, it was fixed and holy shit it was nice. The bass was clearer than last week and the highs were very crisp. Absolutely no distortion whatsoever. Some ppl said the sound system sounds a lot better than Crobar's in NYC and not far behind from Arc's system. . . . which is no easy task.
Air conditioning: I dunno about everyone else, but I barely broke a sweat and I was stomping around all night long. Man that was nice!
Pete's set: was. . . .BANGING! Two thumbs up to Pete cuz his set was driving, chill and epic all in one. Brought back a lot of what old Glow used to be like.
Marco V: Ppl in DC got educated tonight. This man brought the heat to us and rocked the club non stop with songs that had me at a loss for words and could only say WTF with every sick high hat or tribal beat banging. Very very sick and I am glad that I stopped trying to keep up with all the latest tunes cuz last night, 90% of the tunes he played I've never heard before. Im such a n00b.
Minor details: Yes, they chilled back on the fog machine.
Overall, this was such a great night. Even though a lot of familiar faces were there, the other ppl there kept the vibe real and intimate. It was very nice to see a lot more ppl appreciate Marco V in the area so the scene is getting much better in DC and you can see that with the number of ppl staying to close out the night.
I WANNA SEE THE PICS DAMMIT!!!
