You guys in SoCal have it made with the events going on there all year. NorCal has sucked ass for a while now. Appreciate what you have LA |

| I agree with most of what is stated here. Compared to NY the scene in LA is terrible - clubs, bookings, crowds, underground, warehouses, everything. Personally a lot of the dullness is just from a lack of surprise anymore. With every weekend and night out you pretty much come to expect the same thing, no more no less. There will be an occasional gig that stands out, but those are becoming fewer and farther between. That being said, decided to make the heavier investment and take a trip out to Europe next month for both travel and partying - will be interesting to experience clubs/partying out there for a change. |

| Wow, I don't know what you guys are talking about. All my favorite DJ's were here within a span of 1 MONTH (Hernan, Sasha, Guy J, Digweed, Zabiela)! Plus Danny Howells is in town tonight. |

It is all about the underground....
NYC and sf crap on la! NYC subway runs 24 hours a day and sf has Bart and muni running large stretches underground. You have a red and purple line that extend maybe 15 miles! :haha: |

Only because of Tim Horton's and late night poutine. |

I have yet to see you play out in 2014 and I do regret it. Hopefully soon.
I will say this, though: my initial comment was sort of a critique on the underground just as much as anything else that's going on here. The underground scene here has felt lacking. I think you guys brought out RRose though? I should've went to that. |

| Although rare, trance still exists in LA with DJs who stick true to their music. For example, Aly & Fila Friday night at EXLA. Although the set was pretty hard at first, he played uplifting trance from 1 to 2:30 when we left. 75% of the fans don't know what to do when trance is being played, but you still find 25% of the fans smiling, dancing and enjoying it. Was nice to see! Hope you all are well! |

| I was at Aly and Fila this past Friday. I was a tad bit bored. But then I'm not in to trance. Very packed crowd though. Saw a couple of die hard trance fans but it seems like the rest of the crowd was there just to be there. |

| The Do Lab has been throwing some amazing events in LA recently. But it's not 4/4 techno/house/trance so i dunno if you guys would like it :p |

| Without question, people are just there to go out and seemingly a poor crowd. Thats why I rarely interact with the people other than people smiling and dancing. Scary incident happened to me exiting the restroom...creeper guys where standing outside the girls restroom, one saw me with my date and purposely bumped me. I went up to him kindly and said "that wasn't necessary." Pathetic! Fun night never the less. |
