I'm so jealous! I went a couple years ago and loved it! Yes, it will be 100x better than Crobar next weekend. Don't neglect to check out non-trance DJs too. Sven Vath still played evil techno then and tore his shirt off early in his set haha.
Re: Crobar Yeah, the summer format sucks, but it makes sense from a business perspective. Friday nights usually don't fill up until after 1am, and Ryan and I didn't expect any line when we arrived at 12:15 but it was the longest we've seen it in months. We couldn't believe it went all the way back to the bridge. In any case, we would've left if our friend didn't get us in w/o waiting. It definitely also helped to have mezz bracelets where we spent 3/4 of the night (Sorry Shamez.) The crowd was 'different.' They were pretty harmelss, but not very fun. |
I don't really think it's a good idea from a business perspective, as no one gets what they want all night. The bartender told Shamez, barosoap and I that this would be the format for the rest of the summer and that they'd be playing hip-hop until 2. The only thing was that they didn't. At 1, I think the DJ switched and the music went from hip-hop to commercial house. I think, he played Mylo - In My Arms -> Mad 8 - Work This Pussy -> Roman Flugel - Geht's Noch, but I may have forgotten a track in there. It was like I was like I travelled back to Spring 2005 when all those tunes came out. Don't get me wrong, I still listen to a lot of older sets, and I like when DJ's sprinkle in older tracks to help a set flow better. I just don't think a live set should consist only of those tracks in July 2006.
The crowd was different. I still thought the FOB population was standard in size, even though we saw a group of 8 of them getting kicked off line when we were going in. They were all old (guys 50s, girls in late 30s) and not very well dressed at all. One guy had some of the highest waisted pants I've ever seen on a man. Like barosoap said, they were harmless, but they weren't exciting and fun, either. We left around 4 because some one was getting a little on the excessively drunk side.
