| Nope, they all close pretty much b/c of the liqour license laws that stop sales at 2. Unfortunately, about the longest set we ever see is usually 2 and a half hours:( |

wow, that surely is horrible news. so theoretically, they could stay open until whenever, but they'd have to stop selling liquor at 2? /me smells a business venture
At glow the opening dj usually goes on at 11pm, with the headliner going from 1-4:30 or so, but if it's a real big name like armin or tiesto they let them go until whenever they want. Then there's a 24 hour cafe that is pretty much a club all day sunday. Not trying to knock your scene, cause I'm definitely glad to have any scene at all, but that sucks if the crowd at the church is lame and it closes at 2am :( |

Knock it all you want man, it's not great. The Church is the best we have and it's not that good...and if any of our clubs could consistently pull anything but a ing house dj it would be a miracle. Everywhere you go in this damn town...
I'd also want to venture into a decent record shop, although one nice one finally opened up they still have a pretty small selection. This towns scene sucks. I'm amazed we're getting as many big name djs that we are in the next few months. |

Yep, The Church's crowd usually sucks big time. The vibes of the people are snotty and uptight usually. |
when did you go there?? only time ive been to the church and the crowd was bad was when micro was spinning, bad commercial dj's seem to draw crowds....other than that the shows i've been to the crowd seems normal to me. i've even had wasted people bump into me and then ask if i wanted to dance, no arguing or anything...ive even had complete strangers buy me drinks:) also, i've only been to the fillmore once and that was to see paul oakenfold way back when i was just getting into trance. the crowd there wasn't better than at the church....lotsa people thinking they're cool as , and also lotsa people wasted on pills...i can't even recall how many times i was asked if i was rolling there...but i'm asked that a lot whatever show i'm at for some reason:conf:
but yeah, closing at 2am sucks, but it is all we got:mad: 2am after hour club is fun for after hours though. last time i was there i was wasted outta my mind and all the people i talked to were nice. some girl even gave me her glowsticks on strings...which i hit myself in the face with:haha: :wtf: dont try to spin glowsticks on strings around when wasted :clown: :thepirate
bottom line, i think you kinda gotta make your own fun...at least in my experiences. |

| Ok, next question, for these bigger name DJs what's the story on getting in, are there tickets and if so is there anywhere to get them online? or is it just a cover at the door? also what's the story with guestlist, vip, etc.?:cool: |
|

| btw, sorry for all the questions, but i was under the impression that there wasn't much of a scene out here until a friend of mine linked me to this post so now i'm all fired up to go out. |

Groovetickets is where you would get the tickets for the big name djs, usually its pretty cheap Sasha was $10, PvD was more expensive, it varies. . .
Lesser known djs its a cover at the door, $5 before 10 if you are 21+ and $10 after 10 if you are 21+ I can't remember the the prices for 18-20 cuz, they don't apply to me. I've never seen any type of guest list, other than if you had your ticket ahead of time, and as far as vip is concerned, I have only seen that once and that was on NYE, and I don't know what it entailed but I do know that it cost $75 more than the normal ticket, so I'd assume its a lot of alcohol on the house. |

Ok i picked up a flyer for the PVD show on november 7th, and it looks like there will be 5 djs opening for him. My question is, do any of you have any idea how long Paul might play? I think the tickets, before ticketmasters raping fees, will be about 40 bucks. I'm only going for him so I really hope he plays a long set.
Went to the church last night for a special event and finally had a good time there. No bull from anyone. I still don't really like the local djs. All of the fricken songs sound exactly the same with no variety. Half the time you can't even tell when one songs changes to another. |

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
You are joking right? The hallmark of a good dj is seamless/flawless mixing!!! Along w/ good track selection, and flow. |

I wouldn't count on Paul playing anymore than 3 hours if we're lucky, and it will most likely be right around 2 hours. ing promoters around here feel the need to have a ton of openers, unlike gigs in decent cities.
But seriously, you really shouldn't be able to tell when the track changes, that's a characteristic of good mixing. And if they all sound the same to you, that probably means that they are similar sounding tracks, which is another sign of a good dj, keeping a flow and a good track selection. |
