Dirk,
The reason we have these types of events on Wed night is b/c the later in the week and weekend you book a DJ, the more expensive it gets for the club/promoter. That expense is passed down to you and everyone who buys a ticket. So what would cost you $15-$25 on a Wednesday night, would cost you $50-$75 on a Friday/Saturday night. Alot has to do with the capasity of the venue. Sky, for instance can hold about 850 in the main room. The top DJs in the world fetch 10s of THOUSANDS of dollars. This does not include hotel (5 star), transportation (limo), contract rider specifications (liquor, etc), and dinner... As you can see, a small market like Austin and a club like Sky can't handle that. That is why the big boys play in NY, LA, SF, Chi-town, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, etc on the weekends and mid-weeks in smaller markets. This is precisly the reason Tiesto played SA on a Tues (that and venue availability). If the Austin Music Hall allowed parties like they used to, you would see big talent in Austin on the weekends. The place holds nearly 3K ppl.
With this being said, Sky is looking at moving these events to Thursday nights... Which will be great, so I can call in sick on Friday! lol. Dirk, you can be sure that there will be solid progressive/trance talent coming thru on Fridays... Hybrid, Sandra, JZ.... Sander K soon.
Your support means everything to us. Without people supporting clubs like Sky and local and regional talent the scene dies. Then everyone is up shit creek...
I hope that my explanation sheds some light on your concerns. Thanks for your support man, and if you are ever at Sky, find me.

Lance, thanks for the explanation. And yes, it does make sense. It is just frustrating to hear about these events and not be able to go. I would rather pay the higher prices, but I understand you have a place to fill and a DJ to pay. But I really do appreciate the time you invested in your answer and I hope to make it out to one of your events soon.
On a side note, that is awesome that you dropped Infusion into one of your sets. I love that song and have been trying to hunt it down on vinyl for quite some time.
