I remember going there all the time by myself and meeting random people through out the nite. Its almost as if it didnt matter if I knew ppl, it was almost as if they knew me more given we had the same interests in the music and thats what counted really. An analogy would be to say clubs nowadays is more of a chore than it is a hobby. In both cases u end up doing it, yet in one, u wanted to do it because it interested you as opposed to doing it because u felt it was expected of you and u had to get it out of the way somehow. Thats what I meant by when I said DJ Eco is a noobie and says regardless of everything else, we will come out because its the DJ we wanna see. Sometimes, its about ure surrounding and comfort level that gives u that sense of wanting to go out, and imo, lacks a lot nowadays. |

+1 I agree COMPLETELY about it being a chore rather than a hobby. Especially for those of us who can't afford more than 2 drinks in a club and don't do any other :p |

no hard feelings haha just stating the obvious fact that if it's a DJ one wants to see, one should go see him.... think about the environment we are in when someone like Armin Van Buuren or PVD is here... crammed like sardines, getting drinks spilled on us, smelly FOBs in the corner and smellier juicers in the center trying to start a circle to no avail, overpriced drinks, more squishing and squeezing about... are there any trance parties that are eenjoyable anymore? aside from the smaller and sparse parties going on at Shelter and Sullivan Room, if the whole CHORE aspect was such a big factor in what parties we go to or not, i see no big-room as enjoyable anymore then |

| if WH revonated the main room and if they got rid of that strict 'no-sneakers' rule for which many ppl were turned away for (:wtf: :whip: :whip: :rolleyes: ) then maybe i would consider it. that dress code policy is just retarded. |

i haven't been there in about 3 - 4 years but they need to do more than renovate the main room. The staircases to the other rooms are too narrow and they smelled like piss, and from what i can remember the downstairs was absolutely wack. They also need to disassociate themselves with z100 or ktu or whatever radio station they let spin on the weekends.
I am tempted to go on april 21 to see lawrence and halliwell.
and for everyone who keeps bringing up arc, let us not forget Tenaglia spinning pre-arc at Vinyl on fri night/sat morning. Those were the days. |

To be honest, I've known guys who are really close with the Webster Hall management. Let me tell you something about them. They are laughing at those other venues you mentioned allllll the way to the bank. If there is one club in New York that consistently makes money, it is WH. Sure we hate on it, but every few years someone reinvents the space. This seems like the first REALLY serious attempt though. I know the guys behind all of this and will personally make sure these parties are a step up for the venue and the crowd, with as many suggestions and ideas as I can put in :) . |
u're right on point with that one.
hey do u know if they've beefed up the sound system? last time i was there was for röyksopp, sept 05. |

Every person that I know that's been to WH has nothing but horrible things to say about the place.....so not even this line-up is enough to convince me to go. We will see how the new management's ideas reflect on peoples opinions in the near future......maybe if they are positive I will give the venue a chance. |
bri, it's a totally different story when u're there for a concert.. only people who wanna see those artists playing are there..the sound system from what i know aint nothin to write home about but let's hope that changed since it's been a while... but hey if you're deciding on boycotting the place based on principals regarding bad management and overall shadiness, then i totally agree with you there. |

| So the ratio of Girls to Guys is ridiculous. Superb, I’m coming to the states. ;) When some of my mates went out to NY they went to Webster Hall one night and they said it as superb. Pretty expensive though. You guys must miss Twilo & Exit. |
