hrm lets see - ok my review, the door was something that i expected which would pose as a problem...as always along with my group of usual suspects we had gotten on the line around 11pm. i was taken off the line for my sneakers first thing, so i went back to the car to change to shoes (which wasnt a problem) so my friends went in first and i went back to the car with my friend so we get back in line and nothing better than hearing ALL YOU GUYS RIGHT HERE GET OFF only guys with girls allowed in, funny cuz my group of friends including the girl that im seeing had gone in already, so i explained and was still told to get the hell off the line...great 12:30am and im still in line but at the END around the corner... the night is turning bad...however to my rescue my friends from boston were on their way down so they arrive at the club around 1:45am. yea i was in line for another hour (from the end to the front) thats when they arrived...so the same bouncer saw me in line and said "home boy i thought i told u to get off the line" my response yea u said only single guys without girls and to my side were my friends from boston...and he gives me this sorta smirk and im like so u sayin i can get off line and go right to the front like you was doing earlier right...his reponse was "ur right at the front u'll get in" geez man wat dicks but thats nothing new, i mean the establishment isnt all that big and i understand that they want more females in there than males...no problem.
so i get in and ferry is already spinning...from the 2nd floor u have a GREAT VIEW into the booth and from behind the booth there is a huge glass where u can see EVERYTHING!
my thoughts are that limelight definitely improved clubwise and sound wise....although the sound is significantly better than it was, it could use alil tweak.
as per ferry's set, hrm too short, i'd like to hear him play out the night like until 6am. he finished somewhere between 4:30-5am.
all in all a good night
but just for future reference - dress code is enforced to some degree
and i'd suggest going there with girls, all u groups of guys might have a hard time getting in, its either that or get there around 10pm. |

A friend of mine went and he said that Ferry played a horrible set :conf: Supposedly he didn't really mix at times, he was just playing the track and started playing a new one out of nowhere.
I see you guys liked it, are these guys full of ? |

oh please tek! :cool: if that makes you feel better, than keep tellin yourself that! The night was amazing and ya know you regret it! besides, you are a DJ and im sure you know some people in the biz or would at least be able to finagle yourself into the front of the line.
:D
Dark---ferry's set was far from horrible. Your friend is clearly mistaken-= not a single person left avalon saturday night unhappy
kid nyce---i saw you there! you were standing right in the entrandce to the dance floor (when you enter the club, you walk in a bit and then you make a right to get into the dance floor...I feel like I saw you right when one gets in.
And yes, the vantage point from upstairs is fantastic to see the DJ spin. The video screen below the DJ booth was a projection of ferry spinning too----so hot! his behavior behind the decks makes the show even better. |

Quick chime in w/ my $0.02. I had a BLAST at Ferry, as always, and fortunately we were guestlisted and didn't have to deal with the line. The bouncers were still complete dickwads, and it really pisses me off that they're anti-sneaker. I dunno how you're supposed to dance comfortably all nite in nice shoes. And as others have said, the sound system needs tweaking for trance... it seemed to be lacking in mids to me. Didn't sound as lacking during DJ Rap's set, which would be expected given the style she was playing.
Does anybody know what remix of "Rock Your Body, Rock" he played?? The vocal sample sounded different from either the Extended, F. Massif, or Original Edits -- a lot longer and more drawn out. I really loved how it teased and then slammed in.
I dunno a full tracklist, but here's what I can pull from memory (not really in order, unfortunately)..
Boss@nova - Stone Cold (can somebody make a dub of this? ugh)
LNG - Inter City
Ferry - Punk
Ferry - Right Of Way
Ferry - Rock Your Body, Rock
Veracocha - Carte Blanche
BBE - Seven Days and One Week (was that his remix? re-released Positiva)
I'm racking my brain, but that's all I can remember right now, didn't get much sleep last nite. Hopefully others can add to it. :) |

I missed punk damnit.
I think the bouncers are fantastic at Avalon----for a nightclub they are muchy more patient than most places. Avalon is a world renowned venue and i personally think it is understandable that they dont want people in sneakers there---it isnt appropriate....it isnt a rave in a skatepark in upstate New York---ya know? Im not attacking you here at all, just trying to make my logic clear-- |

| Understood.. :) I can see the logic, but at the same time, I don't think people in sneakers is more diminishing to the vibe of the club than a bunch of drunk, drugged up people wearing expensive AX clothing. Not to generalize, basically, there are good and bad people in both types of clothing. The clothes do not make the man... or woman... or whatever... ;) |

lol.. i dont believe in 'dressing up' to go clubbing.. are you serious ? you need to be in comfortable wear to be able to dance.. i think mike bindra knows what he's doing in terms of nyc nightlife.. all the made events are organized well without all the bull . |

| I don't get this whole bull about bouncers not letting you in unless you're with some girls. 99% of all the girls I know don't give a about trance music and thus wouldn't even be interested in going to see someone like Ferry. I heard that if you bought a ticket for Avalon in advance, you'd get in, no matter what (even if you're only with a group of guys)... And Arc, another "world renowned club" doesn't have a dresscode (at least to my knowledge), why does Avalon have one? Dresscodes at clubs are stupid, people should go dressed however they want (within taste). |
