Cranberry and Vodkas are a mere $7 at avalon and there is more alcohol in that that three drinks in most other venues. if drinks at avalon are too expensive for you, than i truly don't know what to say other than drink in excess before you go in or bring in some drugs. To each his own!

Vic, im proud of you for making a statement here too---I think it's fun to get a bit dressed up to go out...im ont saying guys should be in patent leather shoes and all girls should be in Stilettos with Fendi bags---but there are creative, cool, ecclectic outfits that we can all wear and afford that complement the aura of nyc nightlife that has existed and evolved throughout the years. NYC is the definition of fabulous, and appearance is part of the act. If we all went out in sleeveless shirts and our running shoes that would be a bit trashy...it is NOT pretentious to reflect the nature of the environment you are in!! (Im speaking in my personal opinion here, even though my tone suggests otherwise )

I will always be a bit partial in this type of topic. I love to get dressed up when I go out...---this is just my style...but everyone on here who knows me, knows im far from a stuck up pretentious boy who thinks he is hot shit because of the clothes on his back. IM a wacky indivudual who loves to get dressed up, go out, act like an idiot, dance all night, and be surrounded by my amazing friends. I dont get dressed up to " or to impress the boys and girls....it just feels good for me

I know! when the bartender asked me for $7 I said, "you must be shitting me, that is amazing!" When I took a sip i felt the nasty vodka attack my throat and I was really pleased that a club was being so generous. how refreshing is that??


and yes, i was thinking while looking around that the entire place was over the top wasted. I think that is fun and I like it. Drunk people dont bother me, even when they bumpo into me on the dance floor.


PS, did anyone see the VICIOUS girl fight near the limo outside around 5am? my god it was amazing! The girls were pulling eachother out of the limos, punching, pulling, scratching----total CAT fight fiesta it was pretty ridiculous to watch but entertaining nonetheless. The guy puking alongside was the best part.

ANd also, how have none of you spoken about the fact that Ferry Spun a Gouryella track?? I believe it wa Walhalla. I lvoe that trackj and I thought many others did too.
Tek, didnt you spin Walhalla or tenshi at Centro this summer? I remember when vic spun take my breath away---I used to love that song too.

ok this post is getting erratic im stopping now. xom

Wish I had seen that I saw the limo about 15 minutes before 5 oh well. The best places there , I think are 2nd fl by DJ booth, or main floor by the speakers in the front...he heh my hearing took a while to come back...not a DJ so I dont know about "soundtweaks", but its nice n loud...

yes the sound system is truly exceptional there...but someone on here made a very good point earlier...it isnt tweaked for trance. Progressive sounds like those Nick Warren are ideal for the Avalon system. I cant express in words how incredible Nick Warren's show sounded at avalon...a clear difference. anyone else notice this?

very true.. the arc sound system isnt designed for trance either.. trance has lots of synths so mid range is critical and arc's phazons arent tweaked with much mids... also the arc booth uses the phazon rotary mixer which has only highs n low eqs.. when john fleming plays melodic stuff @ arc, it sounds kinda awful.. ie. when he played carte blache, it sounded like he was playing a poor quality rip of the track.. u can barely hear any mid-range of the track...

And on another note...
OK I liked the Ferry set, but hated the crowd. If you are not well wasted (I wasnt) this ends up being really hard to deal with my feet have just stopped hurting from getting stepped on...

Alcohol&small venue= take off those shoes, trainers, or whatever or dont step on ppls feet!
What happened to "excuse me miss..." thats all they need to say sometimes....

Regardless, I would go again (to Avalon), as the sound is nice and loud and they are bringing in alot of top acts these days...But can't drink there too expensive.

I'm lucky this week, blessed by the trance gods am going to see Ferry again Saturday...

NEC IN uk...hope I can recover lol any ideas from this fashion thread what to wear there?


No, that pic was taken in the booth. I was in there most of the night doing the pictures for Ferry's website of the night.

As for the NEC pretty much you can wear anything and get away with it. I haven't decided if I'm going to go yet. I have a plane ticket, but things here will be pretty hectic. If you really like Ferry, he will be playing friday and saturday in the UK

As far as the avalon drink prices, the booth above the dj booth they charged us $5 for 2 grey goose and cranberries, but Wally was drunk so he tipped the guy $15 lol

hahahahahaha, Its was all down hill after Ferry got the bottle of Champagne.

I was just trying to be nice, and I was confused when he told me the drinks were that cheap.

you are staying in London to go to the NEC??? The NEC is right outside Birmingham, so the train eacy way is about 3 hours from London and back. For trendy placed like Noho/Soho try Soho in London (The original Soho) also Bond St. Oxford Street, The Knightsbridge Area, Harrod's department store, and pretty much the area around Piccadilly. Thats were you will find most of the stuff you are looking for. For hotels it all really depends on how much you want to spend considering London is not cheap when it comes to hotel rooms. I usually stay with friends so I can't really give you hotel names, but I would try and stay towards piccadilly and leicester square mainly becuase thats where all the action is and the rail stations are right there to get you to B'rum for the NEC

okie will suck
sasha will be amazing
my fav neighbourhood is Earls Court. (equivalent of the East Village i think) Very cool and off the beaten path a bit === lots of locals, aussies, awwwwesome bars, and it is stil in the center. Get a "Let's Go England" book before you goi....its essential and better than lonely planet and the others. It's tailored specifically to our age demographic and youth travelers. it has been my travel bible for years and years. nightlife, food, accomodations, all of it is in ther.e

anyone else want to add their 2 cents?

is Wally Ferry's nickname? is he always drunk at shows?
