Have you been to Avalon lately?
I would actually like to see Christopher Lawrence and Marco V coming up but I've been having second thoughts because lately the crowd has really put a damper on my festivities. I've gone to clubs hundreds of times and was one of the only white guys and I'm comfortable with that, but couldn't the crowd be a little more on the younger side? Couldn't they take 2 less E? Couldn't they bogart a little less of the space so I can move?
Most of all my girlfriends have been Asian and I lived in Asia, but 55 year old Asian Fob's who are completely banged up on 3X and Ketamine isn't that cool!
The setup is so packed with those huge blocks in the middle of the dance floor and that empty stage on the side...it's simply ruining my vibe.
Sorry, I've only lived in New York for 6 months so I'm not used to this as much. Can't the crowd just be a little younger and slightly more toned down? Take examples from Zouk in Singapore or some clubs in Hong Kong, Tokyo, etc. that add a little more class, still have some side entertainment, and still have wild (but still in control) trance nights.
It's New York...the standard should be higher.
I know you native New Yorkers out there know more of what's going on than me.... so why has all this mess happened just recently?

haha....i feel that same. That was one of the reason I didn't want to go to old EXIT. Baiscally, all the old FOB's @Avalon came from EXIT.
And also, from what I know the main promoter for this venue is an Asain (Eddie Lee resident@Avalon?), so figure out y now? |

i'm sure the owners would love to expand avalon, but since the former church is a registered historic landmark, they can't tear it down. |

I actually think Eddie Lee is good too.
Some drugs? My point was that it doesn't seem like (some). Try more like heaps of drugs all at one time. |

Avalon still sucks. I havent went there for years and went to Ferry recently. It still sucks. Ferry is awesome but the location is just not right. If I cant feel completely comfortable with my surroundings I cant have a good time. I didnt stay very long for that and other reasons. I brought my bf out who hasnt gone out since forever to try to get him to have some fun. He is one of those people that says "things arent the same since 1999-2002" so for him there is no more reason to go out and party. I thought seeing Ferry would make him change his mind a bit since he likes Ferry as a producer and DJ. It was the exact opposite. He left before Ferry even came on and told me never to ask him to go out to a party again.
When we got there, there was another event going on called Hunk O Mania and he was disgusted at the oily steroid pumpers dancing on tables. Then after that security kept buggin him because all he wanted to do was take a nap before Ferry came on. There were other people there vomiting all over the place or acting out of control and of all people they wanted to bother him and shine lights in his face each time he managed to dose off. That didnt make him very happy either. So far this year the only events I actually felt comfortable at were Crobar and Central Park events. Its a shame but I dont think it gets much better than that in NY. Sorry about the rant, but I think if its gonna be like this, might as well go to raves, at least the people are friendly and the vibe is different, and even if someone is all drugged up they keep to themselves, mind theyre own bussiness and leave other people alone. |
