not surprising that there's no review thread about this show-cause there was no one there! poor fleming had a handful of people on the floor although he played a set that rocked, if you're in the mood for some good psy-trance
haven't been to avalon in a couple of years but I remember 2 things about the place that I hated immensely:
1. there's always a long line outside moving at a snail's pace (which gives the impression that the club is packed inside) but when you go in the main floor is actually empty
2. regardless of how much you're supposed to pay on whatever guestlist, they always charge you more.

well..nothing's changed with this crappy club. at midnight on a sat night there wasn't even a single person ordering a drink, and the floor had about 5 people although the line was the longest wait I've had all year at a club.

BT completetly rocked the place, although he only played for a measly hour. that one hour, however, was so full of energy that you couldn't ask for more. I'd go see Bt anytime, he's worth the bill even if he plays for an hour. dinaire was good, and fleming was great too. felt bad for fleming though, he had no audience to play to although the man's a great dj
avalon, however, still sux ass

^^it really sucks that this party was announced later than the 500000 other parties going on that weekend. I would have been there 1000% if I had not already made plans for the evening. I love all three DJ's, and even more so would love to show JooF some love so that he keeps coming back....he was amazing the last time I saw him......

....hope this party wasnt discouraging to all three of them because I know a lot of people were dissapointed in not being able to make it.

Sucks to hear about it. But in all honesty, it was a good idea to stay home it seems. Especially since I was out the night before.

yeah for realz. There were soo many events going on (plus personal parties) weekend it was overwhelming. Probably the hardest decisions for parties since I moved here.

we drove by Avalon at about 1 am on on Saturday night and there was a very big line outside, but it was obviously for a hip hop party. Is there a seperate line for the EDM party?

I wonder if the hip hop crowd keep the edm crowd at home...Thats how it was at TNY so I'm led to believe....

^^ i dont think so...

Avalon has always been primarily an EDM club with acts regularly on the main floor, the hiphop area was always off in a side area (which is always overcrowded and unfortunately RIGHT next to the bathrooms -- which i hate )

July 5, 2013, my heart

Was going to wait until I got home to post a review but heres a quick one since I'm at work

Got to Avalon pretty much at 11PM and the line was just forming but the club wouldn't be open until for another 15-20 minutes. Just waiting in line gave me the impression that the crowd was not here for VD, BT or J00F My friend and I were very undressed too compared to everyone else (shirt w/ a sweater and jeans) so we got worried about getting in plus we had our backpack (we were leaving after J00F directly to JFK and back to SF). Line finally started moving and got in about 5 minutes later. Friend couldn't bring in her prescription medicine even though it was hers! It got worked out later in the night thanks to Mike (massivenyc) and Matt or was it Mark? (promoter for Avalon (and Sonar?) and I never asked you for your TA name). THANKS AGAIN!

Overall I liked the club, massive multi-room and sound was good. Crowd and lighting is another issue

Second time checking out VD and first time getting the chance to see him open. It was really a good opening! Awesome track selection and brought it down a bit right before BT got on. I hope it got recorded like last time at Rebel BT got on and the crowd just went nuts! Never seen BT before and thought he would play a bit more mellow but played a lot of great tracks I didn't expect him too, at least for the first half. Even played deadmau5 Didn't feel the second part of his set that much and the way he ended was rude in my opinion as JF barley arrived and didn't even know he was going on right away Maybe BT thought he was closing Anyway after 1 minute of zero music and crowd leaving, BT dropped one of his productions and did the same ending effects on the mixer, not very creative IMO

JF got on and played progressive psy rather than bangers (I know Rich (lex400sc) wanted John to play like this at Love Fest as he had an early time slot and was on before G&D) which was a nice change from the previous times I've seen him but the crowd did not appreciate it and kept leaving Maybe if he started with something more banging a bit more of the crowd would of stayed. I told my friend maybe J00F should of started with his and Wizzy Noise remix of Cydonia as thats a poppy track that would kept the crowds attention. At the end of the night there were only about a dozen of us dancing so it felt a bit more personal.

During John's set, he spots me and was surprised to see me So after his set he came down to greet me and my friend. He felt a bit bad about us making it out and the crowd not being so great as we've seen him before in SF and LA but let him know that it was fine as it was SONARs second gig? plus it was a free flight anyway Chatted with him for a bit while he took photos with fans said good bye. Then while trying to get my friends medicine outside the club, John shows up again waiting for his ride and we start chatting again

My friend and I w/ John. I like John's name for my shirt JF design that my friend is wearing - SAN FRAN J00F shirt rather than TA J00F shirt


Was good seeing Molly too! I forgot your TA name


rest of my pictures are at http://www.nextlevel.ws/rizo/071020/

Also has New York ran out with street names that they had to use this in front of City Hall


ok back to work

again, I really hope the DJ's come back, its dissapointing to hear about the turnout, but if you think about it, they got the gig promoted later than the other 500000 parties going on..... so people were very sparce trying to attend all the parties. It was such a weird weekend with so much going on......

sorry you came all the way out rizo, hope you enjoyed yourself anyways!!

As nutty as it was I enjoyed every minute of it! Caught Above & Beyond the night before here SF, caught a 7AM flight (got enough sleep on the flight), got into NYC itself at 5PM, walked around, saw ground zero, had dinner with friends, caught 3 awesome DJs, 7AM flight back to SF (got enough sleep on the flight again) I told John, I now know how he feels when traveling from gig to gig Hope I can make it for MANDY, maybe Armin too but not sure if I want to take Friday off from work.
