They should've made it a whole different room, if anything. But more importantly, Circus just needs a full makeover. But this has been known for years and years now and we've given up begging for it. :) |
Wow. What was the thought process behind this? |

Circus is a gay night club on the other nights of the week. Probably one of the biggest gay night clubs in the country. The owner expanded the venue in order to allow more people to purchase tickets. The crowd that normally goes to Circus on firdays doesn't really care about acoustics, lighting or who is djing. they just go there b/c it's the spot. The owner decided, "if i make more room, i can make more money", which he pretty much is doing.
Circus is still one of my favorite clubs but mostly for the memories (non-gay nights of course). |

Agreed.
Good to get the history. I used to go to Circus back in the old days before that wall was knocked down and haven't been back since. I always wondered why they did that because it seemed like that was the beginning of the fall of Circus as a trance party venue. I've heard of it making a comeback a few times but with LMD leaving, it's not looking good for non-gay parties. |

| Maybe you guys know more but my impression was that Circus died because Spundae left, not because Circus doubled in size. Spundae could have easily filled the bigger space with the DJs it was bringing; if anything it wouldn't be so packed and have 45 minute + wait times to get in. |

agreed. The bookings became more difficult to handle. Trying to complete with Avalon and the newly renovated Vanguard after Giant had just moved there made it tough.
I do hope that some day, Spundae moves back to Circus AFTER some tweaks to the venue (sound, lighting, etc...)
edit* what also helped to pack the venue was all the support from local DJ's/Crews.
Some good mutha ing times yo!! I was younger and much skinnier :) |

The Palladium and Circus
...and after the Palladium is demolished to build yet more luxury condos, we'll have:
Circus |

i really like avalon, perfect big room venue and can easily turn into a gritty after hours scene.
palladium is a cool venue too but the sound for armin was horrendous, so it loses it's top spot. |
