I agree with the reviews already posted. GhB and I got the EZ pass, which allowed us to skip line, but we still had to push our way through the mob gathered in front. The top shelf open bar was definitely worth it though it would've been nice had they specified exactly which bars we could use. They wouldn't honor the bracelet in the main room, but luckily the bartender didn't make us pay since we explained no one told us it wouldn't work there.
Three did a great job opening with a nice consistent build up. Sasha was amazing. It was probably one of the best sets I've heard in years. He wasn't very experimental, and it reminded me of older sets with a dark progressive journey that was smooth as silk. I was dancing and smiling like an e-tard (though I wasn't one). The set was definitely too short though. I think he was done by 4 or 4:30. Spooky came out banging with decent tracks, but it didn't seem like most people were feeling it. The place cleared out pretty fast, and honestly Sasha that night was an impossible act to follow. As Chris said, they didn't have much flow just 'bang bang bang,' which after Sasha's set wasn't impressive.
As a venue, Webster Hall was OK. Definitely better than Pacha, especially if you stick to the main room and upstairs. I thought the sound was decent too. My ears weren't ringing but we also took lots of breaks on upstairs.
Re: the glowsticking Yeah, there were too many people who thought they could do it but couldn't. Years ago there used to be some actual talent to it. Now, it's mostly messed up posers trying to impress an equally messed up girl.
