Ten15:
The good:
+ Have remodelled the front room and downstairs room over the past couple of years. Very nice.
+ Taj.
+ On the right night, can be the best vibe around
+ The lighting
+ The kryo
+ good bartenders
+ Best DJ booth/setup ANYWHERE. Almost makes it feel like an intimate setting.
+ The security. I personally think the security at Ten15 is unappreciated. A club that has known to bring in rough crowds in the past (think basement) think they have done a great job. A lot of other clubs I know of that can have rough crowds have security that just falls apart. Yeah, Ten15 has to give you the big patdown, metal detect you, etc...but hey, they just makes me feel safe. I've been to tons of _NICE_ clubs where security doesn't do any searching and have seen some seriously messed up go on inside because it's so easy to bring anything in. I have no complaints about Dave Helm, Sam or the rest of the security staff there. If there is one complain I might have, it's that they could dress a little classier, at least the people working the door. All goes with the "attractiveness" that I personally think Ten15 should strive for (see front entrance issue below). :p
The bad:
- Upstairs (Red Room) still is BLEH
- Main room looks old compared to the newly remodelled rooms. It needs a lot of cleaning up and a couple other things.
- With the new VIP area upstairs, the acoustics in the mainroom out way out of whack. It wasn't terribly bad before, but with the newly expanded area of the VIP that's on the right side of the main room (when looking toward the DJ booth), there's a ton of echo when you are out on the main floor. Even when the room is full. Still lots of echo.
- - The front entrance. There has been a lot of work done on the inside (besides the main room, which still needs a lot of work!), but the front (the building's face) gives the big impression to some people that the place is a dump. This front entrance really effects the walk-by crowd! This is something I've said to peeps at Ten15 since like....2003? :p Back in the day, the plain building was the cool thing to do...but it doesn't work so much anymore. Something a lot of bigger clubs are having to rely on and the front entrance gives a big impression. This actually might be the biggest negative the place has right now as far as making it an appealing venue! Wouldn't it be nice to have people driving by or walking by going "Ohhhh, what's this place? It looks nice!" -- the only bad thing about a nice front entrance is that it can sometimes bring in some lame people, but hey...long as the crowd is generally good, that's all that matters!
- No outside smoking area!!!!!!!! IE. No place to just go and cool off for a second.
- Doesn't use its laser nearly enough. Great laser not being taken advantage of.
- No soap in the bathrooms!
- No Spundae :(
- The table/step in the booth. Can't step up and overlook the crowd easily. Miss going nuts up there when I'm inside the booth. :p
Ruby Skye
The good
+ The security. Overall, best security staff around. Even more so than Circus'. Circus' has a couple kick ass staff members, but Ruby Skye's is so professional all around it's scary.
+ The sound system. When the place is full the sound can be so crisp. Digweed on the soundsystem was scary.
+ Spundae has most of its events at RS.
+ Crowd has def changed over the past couple of years, for the better. I used to hate Ruby with a passion, almsot as much as Avalon. I can now say that I really enjoy the place most of the time I go there. Great vibes, especially when Spundae has Sunday night parties there.
+ When Ruby Skye dresses the place up, holy cow!
+ Simply a beautiful, elegant venue.
+ Variety of EDM that comes through. Trance, Prog, regular ole House, tribal, etc...it all rolls through Ruby Skye.
The bad
- Can seem to take forever to get a drink sometimes at the main bars. Usually faster to go upstairs to the bar tables.
- Lighting is def prog/house oriented. Don't have the crazy strobes, permanent laser, etc, that really does add to trace nights. When a laser is brought in, though, with props it's insane!! The lighting on NYE weekend was crazy though...they added a kagillion more lights. They were overwhere, on every corner, on top and below speakers...just everywhere!!
- A good chunk of the crowd is still the type that just leaves when they sober up....not nearly as bad as it used to be, but still happens. And it sucks sometimes. :)
- The look of Ruby Skye makes it hard to imagine it as a proper EDM club sometimes. You have to work on getting past that and then it's all good.
- I personally like proper DJ booths....so of course will have to complain that it's a stage setup with a DJ Table rolled out to it. The raised stage causes a bit of seperation betweenthe DJ and the crowd but it's not that bad. |

Clovis wears the pants?! Huh, you learn something new every day. :D
I also forgot the thing I hate the most about the Vanguard is that there's always a line for the men's room... But there are almost always 2 or 3 open pissers once you get in there.... Can't people do blow somewhere else and leave the bathroom for those that hafta piss?! :whip: |

| Vanguard's bouncers are VERY nice (at least the regular ones). You just have to get to know them. Realize they are VERY nice people, but they HAVE to put up a front because if they didn't, people would walk all over them...but for the most part, they ARE nice unlike most of Avalon's security. |

yeah I really like the Vanguard and am very happy Giant moved there, but the bathroom lines are a bit of a bitch. And the whole bathroom attendant, I could really do without those. It made matters even worse when I was there for Lawler that he was UCLA fan and rooting for Michigan at the Rose Bowl. He didn't get no tip from me :p
Seriously though, my favorite venue is MNS at National for all the same reasons Jeffree said. And yeah the LA drink prices are my only thing I don't like about it. Its so weird having moved back to St. Louis and going to a bar, ordering a Bombay Sapphire and Tonic and paying 4.50 at the most for it! Its pretty nice.
Also though, I have really come to appreciate the no smoking in bars thing though. Even as a smoker I much prefer no smoking inside. After going to bars here in St. Louis, whether you smoke or not you completly reak of cigs afterwards. Its in your clothes and your hair. Its so disgusting. I need to get my jacket dry cleaned for the second time in the past 3 weeks because it just permeates of cigarettes.
ok that was completely off topic end rant. |

Yeah, and he told me I had a nice piece... Kinda freaked me out. :D
No he didn't actually but seriously having a super-hyper-active guy standing there while you're trying to pee is really irritating! :rolleyes: |
