Seems like Avalon Saturdays is the new Exit Fridays, with all the kiddies and the crowdedness.
Funny that the guestlist lady told me I was dressed too casually.
This seemed to be TA night, whereas the previous night seemed more like Arc/NB night

Interesting contrast in the afterhours crowd from the previous night. On Friday, the average age of the crowd went down as the night went along, whereas on Saturday, it went up. I saw hardly any familiar faces in the last hours.

Astro & Glyde did an excellent closing set. The place closed at 6:30 am, but there were enough people left at the end that the party could've easily gone longer.

If you can get in by 1 am, you shouldn't have to pay the full $25. GBH and CP have guestlists, and probably many other promoters do as well.

Anyone driving in should look for parking between 7th and 10th Aves, and between 15th and 22nd Sts. There's many possibilities for free spaces there, but read the signs carefully.

huh? I thought it was the total opposite. The crowd was a LOT older. I'm 22, and I felt like the youngest kid in the place.

kiddies
avalon is 21+

if kiddies were getting in there, then i better figure out how!

My review....
Got in pretty nicely..except,,fuck the Bitch at the door who tells the guy behind me he's a little too casual??? WTF??
Is this fashion week at Bryant Park or BT live at Avalon????
Crowd was scary...have to be honest...had to recheck my eyes to make sure I wasn't in Exit....
Place was packed!!
Sound system slamming!!!
I think I damaged a vocal cord or two from all the screaming I did....
BT ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!
Wow...I am Stunned!!! This man is phenomenal!!! Most of the night I was on the balcony face to face with this brilliance of an entity..let him be an inspiration to all...
Brilliant with the effects machine he was using..talk about wave of the future...all he did was put his hand over it...Incredible!
Flaming June ended it..I think...I'm pretty sold on his new album...
I give MUCH and MAD respect to this man..he is a true mastermind at his art..and very talented..He does everything himself!!!
It's about time he started getting some true,well-deserved recognition!!
I left after BT left..what was really the point of staying..didn't want to chance my night being ruined...
All in all...great night..great sounds..great vibes....
I'll Be Back!!!!!!!

BT definitely rocked it, what time did he finally stop playin? I left just after his second set started (~3am?), one of my friends was really bothered by the volume of the speakers, we were down in the middle of the main floor. I thought it was loud, but would've stayed. how great was Flaming June!?!

I was there w/ my roommate, his gf and another friend of ours. lady at the door told us to "maybe show up with two girls and two guys, or three girls and two guys next time". I was gonna ask her who she blew to get the job, but didn't think it would've been appropriate.

damn, you read right through that

then again, she's not even worth the few seconds I spent thinkin' that one up

I second everyone's opinion about the place, Avalon seemed very... Exit. I'd been to Limelight a few years ago when Tiesto played, I think it was early-mid 2001. much different vibe there now, almost reminded me of Sound Factory, gah. just b/c you can bench press 9827345983247 pounds doesn't mean everyone in the club wants to see you walk around shirtless.

music was great tho, BT is the man!

BT was amazing. The whole show kicked ass!! OMG

I couldn't believe it! What BT produces and what he creates in front of an audience are two completely different things. He started the night off with some banging breakbeat/prog tunes and as the night progressed he just kept harder and harder. It was almost impossible to loose interest. He would take songs and add about 4 or 5 extra instruments, which created an amazing effect. Avalon now has the best sound system in the city, and they crank it to maximum volume. You will not hear the person next to you.

BT played for like 2 hours, went off, and the encored with another amazing 30 minutes. The last 30 minutes was even harder that the first 2 hours! Lots of trancy elements with Godspeed, Flaming June and even Third Earth!

One of the best parties I've been to this year

I believe it's 19+, hence the wristbands that were put on people (who are presumably over 21)

Afterhours (though not by Factory standards) is lots of fun!
Different crowd from what's there earlier in the night. Very diverse too. A good amount of space for dancing. Try it some time.
