You guys aren't misreading the thread title and the icon. It says "DJ Relik @ Area 51," wheras it SHOULD have read, "Suzy Solar, DJ Relik & Groove Eric @ Area 51 review + pics" etc etc. Let the record also show the thumbs down is not intended for Relik but for how the night was handled.
It was handled like .
Tonight we were supposed to have three DJs play in the room formerly known as Amazonia, now called the Adrenaline room.
Rank 1 @ Metro...Deja Vu, anyone?
I don't know who or what happened but tonight's event was a catastrophe. The ONLY good thing about tonight: DJ Relik got to play for a few hours...Bad things....holy , where do I even start?
Little to no promotion for tonight's event.
The DJ equipment in the Adrenaline room was subpar. Denon CDJs, with at least one ed up CUE button.
An outdated, weak ass mixer.
As Relik continued on with his set, Brian and Suzy arrived from Tampa, only to have some unknown OLD FAT white lady shut the room down for reasons unknown. Talk about a mind. Having a great talent like Suzy and Brian come ALL the way from central Florida only to be told they wouldn't be playing in the room WE had. Moments later, she was told she could play in the room called Allure, where um....there was an OMGWTFBBQ fiesta going on in there.
Reggaeton, 80's, 90's and everything in between. The FLTAs were going ape. I was LITERALLY laughing my in' ass off. Suzy and Brian went to check the DJ booth. And what do ya know? NO CD decks.
:wtf:
NO CD DECKS. What the kinda is that? In THIS day and age, what club DOESN'T have CD decks!?
Suzy ONLY had CDs this time around. The last I heard before departing with Relik was that Suzy would get to play in an hour, but nearly all of the FLTAs agreed that they couldn't handle an hour of the hilarious but annoying music in the Allure room/club.
Shelley (Never Say Die!) was royally pissed off, as well she should have been. Sweets, I know I told you like 3 times, but I know exactly how you felt. I felt the same way when my Rank 1 show went to hell. I'll tell you about that another time though hon, and I hope you feel better soon. We appreciate you and Jay's efforts for tonight but it just wasn't meant to be.
So of course, not only didn't Suzy get to play, but neither did Groove Eric. Suzy & Eric got screwed.
Total OMGWTFBBQ + FUBAR.
Relik played a banging opening set as always. Thanks for the ride and letting me practice before we left for the catastrophe zone.
The night was just ed, plain and simple. I only took a handful of pics which I'll post later. I just don't feel like doing it with how aggravated I am.
TA turnout was good. Nice seeing Mel, Lis, Anthony, Richie, Manny, Nelson (Happy bday to you again, bro) Vic, Leon, Damon....if I missed anyone, my apologies but I am tired...and hungry.
Review ends....and now it's quesadilla time.

As much as I hate to agree with you on that statement, I do.
Nearly all of the replies so far in the thread are the same: "I had a bad feeling." I also had that feeling in the beginning of the night. Something just didn't feel right.
