i started to hear better music around the time we left at like 4 for sure... but by that time i had gone through too much bullshit and just wanted to go home... but you know when sometimes the vibe just gets totally killed for you and its past the point of saving? that happened to me

WOOT! I just found out my friend has my jacket! lol he picked it up for me at the end of the night....but couldn't find me. *sigh*

Originally posted by PurpleHaze The crowd overall wasn't TOO bad. Actually, probably one of the hottest crowds I've seen out in a long time. Everyone was dressed well and lookin' smoking!

i was not feeling the crowd at all... but then again i dont judge the crowd based on appearances

Originally posted by randallpink i'd see him if he came again. all the videos i can find of him seem a lot better than what we had last night. i'm pretty sure he would make up for it.

100% agree... every DJ has their one off nights right?

I know that point, and I was reaching it in the lineup. I think if it wasn't for the fact that my BF was inside, I would of gone to Footwork or something instead. I was very close to bailing anyways.

Being the /next/ person in line, watching 15+ people leave the club (and some bitching 'Don't go in, it sucks), then 5 people get in right-away who weren't even in line at all (and everyone else yelling Booo at them), and waiting another 30 min's before you get in was a pain. All the while, watching some guy that was kicked out of the club nearly getting into the fight with a bouncer, a group of people from Montreal chanting for refunds, a girl that flew in from LA nearly having a breakdown at the bouncer, and some E'd up girl putting her hands down my sisters pants, all the while the push of the line was so much on me I'd need to plant my feet firmly and push back on them just so I wouldn't fall over.

I could probably write a 3 page review on the antics I saw in line actually :P Trying to not be /too/ bitter about it, and when talking about it now, some of it just makes me laugh.

Originally posted by jad Does anybody know what the track at the 5 min mark is? He also dropped this at Maison.

I see 10,000 standing around..LOL!

actually none of those videos were too impressive...just him getting Whacked in the booth. Some of the tunes were decent...some were not.

The only good video is that cocoon closing party and that is based soley on the crowd response.

After speaking with more people from that night...i don't think I'd go see Ricardo if he came again...what a waste.

i've found that there are plenty of times i'm at a club when people are barely moving, including myself, but i'm loving it. sometimes dancing for 5 hours takes a bit out of you. sometimes the crowd response isn't what it's about

I just remembered the asian girl running through the dancefloor with her hand over her mouth, gagging. Awesome. I've never seen people clear so fast.

You are absolutely right. I've been there many times myself which is strange cuz I like to give er' on the dance floor. Sometimes you're just too tired but you can definitely still have a good time.

However...I don't think this was the case at Maison.

The night was up and down for me....

Got there at 1:30, and, after seeing a bunch of people bypass the giant line after asking me who was spinning, I decided that waiting would be useless even though we had tickets...we then went next door for drinks at Ame before last call and 30 minutes later came out to see that the line hadn't moved at all. Ended up getting in at about 2:20 with lots of pleading with the bouncer and had to use the back booths for our coats since coat check was full. Despite the drama of entering, we were ready to party. The music was alright--for the first 10 minutes we were there, then it went downhill. I had to laugh at how bad the set was, but, being surrounded by a lot of familiar faces made up for it. The transformed Schmooze was impressive, and the crowd looked great (except for a few randoms like the guy with Situation glasses on...). I stayed till 5:30 hoping he'd play something decent but I just wasn't feeling it. Anyways, I think because Maison is so new, a lot of the top 40 crowd came to check it out even though it wasn't a Saturday night and that's what largely contributed to the chaos. When the hype dies down I think this club has a good set up and a lot of potential...it would be a great place to see other djs perform...
