hell....its only thoguth to be more popular there because of the fact that N. America doesnt produce too much electronica


When I was in Amsterdam it was amazing...every store was playing house, trance, I heard Traffic commming out of several places, in bars you hear EDM...it's everywhere...hardly any hip hop. On TV they've got EDM channels that play videos of dance music all day and night...to me it was so amazing it's like being where i should be ;) I absolutely loved the fact that most people were so into it there...On the tram (streetcar) to Innercity i remember everyone was so hyped up the driver was totally into it too...he was playing with the lights in the car yelling stuff in the mic...then someone pulls out a boombox and plays Traffic all through the streetcar and people go crazy...it was quite magical ;)...no hiphoppers which is just so NA culture...

That's very odd...I know hip hop is slowly growing there, and it's growing even faster in the UK...and pop...well yes of course pop is huge everywhere in Europe, but EDM was everywhere when I was there :). They have these little shopping streets in Amsterdam and most stores and bars on these streets had some cool music playing :)

If my main objective of going to the Guv was to take pictures, then id be in heaven Shaya. I mean look at all the scary faces you can take close ups of, quite entertaining if you ask me. And this isnt about "going to Boa". This is about NOT going to The Guvernment. Ive stated my reasons, and there are many here (that im glad) are feeling the same way i am. One of the true problems concerning this club is the amount of true party people they've lost from acting in this greedy way. And the more TA's and Tribers that this club loses, the quality of the vibe will diminish.

Scary faces...hmm, I actually try my best to stay away from faces/people in any club environment...So yeah get your point..Guv is Evil...BOA is Heaven!

The GUV complex =Guv main room + KH

KH =bigger capacity,much better ventilation, etc etc =suitable for a headliner/ big name dj

main room does not have the capacity to hold that many ppl, (not a probem on regular saturday nights but) at a big event like last Saturday.

who's decision is it to put Sasha in guv main room and dj dan, etc in KH?

doesn't it make sense to put sasha (who's more popular) in the bigger venue?
if the guv complex didn't have KH (aka wharehouse , god knows how much they spent renovating that) then it would be justified to say: "well, like it or not that's at good at it gets, stay home, blah blah blah" but they CAN and they DON'T.:whip: :whip: :whip: :whip:

why on earth they don't use KH anymore for big names like Sasha, etc?

can anyone answer that question? :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip:


^^^^
I'm still looking for an answer for this simple but IMO very important question

edit: i even remember seeing underworld on a wednesday in KH ,compare that to PVD/Tiestio this yeah @ the main room.

something has definitely changed with their policies :conf:

And perhaps the reason that they dont hold events in Koolhaus as much anymore could have to do with the new smoking law? There are no patios off the koolhaus and no smoking room either. Im not saying this is the case or that its official, this is just a layman's educated guess. So for all those in support of the lame smoking law, it could have just affected your night out in ways you couldnt have even imagined.

Nice try to tie in your favourite issue, but I'm sorry, Charles has been putting headliners in the Guvernment long before the smoking by-law was in effect. :rolleyes:

And even if this was the case, you're telling me, that with all the money the Guvernment makes packing us in like a heard of animals, that they don't have enough money to put a smoking area adjascent to the Kool Haus? Unlikely.

that's it!!! 200 posts of bitterness!

TRANCEEEE
stop crying ppl. by the end of each event u come n say : best night ever!! ... whats going on. stop complaining :eyes: :tongue3

You know alot of you are saying this should be in the KH and that should be in the KH...but the last few events that I've attended in the KH - last of which was Global Gathering, the KH was fairly empty, most definitely not up to it's full capacity - not even close I think...so maybe they just don't know and don't want to take the risk of losing $$ so they make the event in the main room...:conf:
