I would love to see this in Cali, but i doubt SF

i'm not too familiar with SF venues - but i'm wondering where could they host it in SF? Is there somewhere big enough?

Sure they could. Bill Graham, Warfield, The Fillmore, one of the piers (I'd recommend Pier 27 if possible), whatev. They could find something. I've brought it up for sure...but whether something happens, really think Armin will decide where he wants it and then work with the organizers wherever.

That said, I really think he's gonna try to line it up with WMC next year and do it from there (imagine, he could do like a 18 hour broadcast between a daytime party and nighttime party, and get just about any DJ he wants!). WMC week might end up falling right in line with where ASOT500 needs to be. ASOT450 was only a week or two after this years WMC, and 50 weeks from ASOT450 might be right when WMC is. And if it's not lined up perfectly (it'd be off one week max), I bet he'll do a WMC one + other cities.

And yes, I think LA & SF and maybe something like Vegas be perfect if he did something on the west coast.

Outside of NYC, those are prob the three cities he fancies the most in the US.

Would work best in LA imo.

LA might be the most obvious because it's LA (publicity), but I imagine he'll do multiple cities again.

I personally think the west coast doesn't have much of a shot based on the time difference from Europe. I think that is why a East Coast/Europe combo was chosen.

I really want to go to ASOT 500...it's going to be huge. I wonder if Armin will go back to a 3-day one-weekend format like last year. Somehow that made a bigger impression on me. I was locked in for 3 days....this time not so much.

But I can also see trying to make it ~50 episodes a year this way to keep the event in April.

My friend who was with us at TE 2010, continued to Bratislava for the 4th ASOT 450 show, and then to Poland -- doh!

It made me think how many times I have traveled for trance and how much that would suck if I traveled far and some freak thing would happen like that. Those sorts of trips are expensive!

So...I would really like to see it happen here, that would guarantee I could make it...I am just doubting it. I think South America could be in the running based on time zone! And..the Miami WMC thing could make sense.

I liked the star island free event. But the free wont happen anymore - got out of hand.

idk, i just feel like there has been such a legendary trance scene in SF for so long that if Armin were doing a globe spanning number of shows for 500 that included a west coast stop, theres no way SF should be overlooked...

la has more money than sf. armin is a business man too, you know and why he caters to cheese nowadays

to bad im not dr who! would def set my tardis to pre-ASOT 200'ish days esp the first 100.

edit: too bad theres not real daleks that seek out cheese hahaha jk jk

I dont think it'll be in SF. Armin said back during ASOT400 that he would like to do episode 500 on the moon.

I doubt it would be here as welll even though i pray it will be, i think he will try to hit another country and continue building the list of new places he has held them

Cow Palace wouldnt be a bad idea, GUARANTEE that will even sell out
Warfeild seems much too small
