So what other clubs or events do people like in SF, in terms of the crowd? What about venues like Mezzanine, Mighty, Paradise Lounge, etc? Or does it really depend on who's throwing the event that night?

Yeah, depends. Mezzanine is usually always solid. Mighty can be. Don't like Paradise Lounge as it has no airflow and smells like horrid BO the times I've been there.

yeah, that's one thing that i found lacking at Ruby Skye, the friendly community atmosphere. back in New York, no matter how big the club or event, Ferry @ Avalon, PVD @ Crobar, everybody comes together, you can just feel the vibe. so is it Ruby Skye? the SF crowd? or did i just happen to go on a bad night?

btw, where's spundae @ circus? sf or la?

and see everyone at Second Sun!

my first time back to 1015 was for B&J since june of 2003. I thought it was pretty nice...plenty of room to dance and people were cool. not like it used to be, but nice...

I havent seen second sun live yet, so hopefully I can convince friends to come out to see them.

See you all there. Look out for a guy that's bouncing around in a black visor and McNabb jersey. That'll be me.

Just got back from 1015. This may have been the 2nd best set I've seen this year (the first being Above and Beyond a couple months ago at Spundae). Too bad they were only on for about an hour and a half. The 1015 crowd was better than usual. All in all, pretty damn good night.

I don't bout that, at least for me this has to be my 2nd worst event for this year (1st was Ferry @ RubySkye). Kinda disappointed at Second Sun, hmm maybe the crowd instead, or maybe is San Francisco, there ain't much vibe at the clubbin scene. Maybe its better off going to parties here instead. Plus everywhere else I've seen Ferry he was off the hook.

I must say I have a fucking AWESOME time last night...crowd aside.

Second Sun...well, they started off disappointing. Really slow and pretty boring, IMO...but interestingly enough, they started out saying they'd start of slow to the whole crowd, so wasn't amazed. Throughout their 90 minute act they slowly bumped up the speed with every track....and I'll say the last half of the act was $&*H@#**@# incredible. Loooooooooveedd it.

The reaction from peeps when they sung Crush was funnnnyyy....everyone was like, "that's a dude who says that?" ("I know you waannt meee...) -- everyone thought it was a girl.

Anyhow, the crowd, the vibe, etc was pretty bland until about the half way point of the set, too....but it was funny seeing how the main room was filling up as the their music got faster and faster. When all was said and done, the place was jumping, IMO.

They finished at about 2:30am and Gianni took over and tore the f'in place up. No one would leave! I was sooooooooo tired at this point as I went to bed Friday night at like 3:30am and woke up at 7:00am but Taj was making fun of me for yawning and forced some Red Bull down my throat and it actually did the job...was totally back into everything and frickin' looooooovvvvvvvveddd Gianni's set. Taj took over the decks a bit after 4:00am and was frickin' awesome as well...but by 4:30, 4:45, the Red Bull had worn off, could tell it was messing up my stomach so decided to leave before t hings got bad.

Interesting part of the night: When Second Sun was first coming on, my girlfriend and I started walking through the middle of the room up near the stage to take some pics...on the way, some dude grabbed my girls booty with force and I happened to see it and just about twisted the dude's arm off...he was all apologetic so I just got back into the music...about 10-15 minutes later, he did it to a girl next to us and she actually went and got security....two security guys came and I pointed out (repeat, pointed) that the guy did it to my girl, too....whelp, wrong thing to point at the dude because the security guy immediately locked my arm up in his...didn't hurt, but effective and never got mad over it -- he was just doing his job and protecting everyone. But after talking to him for a about 15 secs, was let go and about 10 more security dudes came up and kicked that ****** out with force, lol. All of his friends wanted to jump me, I could tell, so we retreated back up to the booth where we enjoy the rest of the night. In the end, I must say that the Ten15 security did an excellent job over this and must thank them!
