Just make sure you dress nicely if you don't wanna feel out of place. Place gets really hot too so I wouldn't overdress (though I've only gone in the peak of summer, so I don't know how it is at other times). Drinks are also really expensive. I'd say go if you wanna see a specific DJ whose spinning there, otherwise I'd avoid it for the most part. Honestly, I think that Velvet is the kind of place where local promoters can bring certain DJs they're really fond of without having to take a major financial risk. i.e. The place is usually hopping, so they make their money, even if they don't have the ideal crowd attending.

Thanks for the feedback. So in other words, a fancy meat market?

I've been to Velvet but it was a private party so I didn't get to see the regular crowd.. all I can say is that it definitely has a great atmosphere and ambiance. It feels like a cave, I was super fucking drunk but I remember the sound system being pretty mediocre. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Velvet is the flavor of the month. Lots of fashonistas, models, artists, euros....it's hard to get in, NYC style. But the nasty St-Laurent crowd (i.e. Douches with daddy's credit card harrassing girls and buying magnums of Grey goose) is slowly taking over .... hype won't last.

Too bad cause the booker is doing an awesome job. Great music every night!

my place.

adolf is coming over for kimchi.

good, I'll be sure to show up with a shot gun in that case

couldn't have said it better myself. i started going there when it first re-opened...i liked it, i had fun with my friends and maher. then i showed up in flat shoes (decently dressed, mind you)...my girlfriends were all pretty decked out but i still fit in (or so i thought)...and the doorman tells me that "i don't fit the club's recommended attire"...couldn't believe it. guess i was too ugly that night, ha.

i took my money elsewhere. haven't been back since. and it's too bad...i rly like some of their bookings (soulclap is coming up, etc...) oh well, i hope that crowd ure talking about pascal, does die out. soon. i stay home, away from 10-3 clubs these days, just because i can't stand them.

Afterhours is a state of mind, but significantly, it's more a state of 'I don't mind'. A determined continuation, contentment and relief that 'it ain't over yet!' An injection of music into attitude and occasion which creates an emotional wave forth that isolates globally, a ringing harmonic, a signal to a like-minded collective that 'we are only us'.
