I respect your opinion, but your statement does not speak for myself as being an insult. I have no problem with the price or the hours....

Where ever you are for New Year's Clinton, have fun and we all appreciate your reviews rather we agree with them or not.....

You are one of the good guys

We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of the dreams.......

Somebody told me Vasquez was big in the late 90s.

If you are trying to be a smart ass you should have said 90s, not 'late 90s'.
Junior's time at Sound Factory (early 90s) defined a lot of the sound played today, as well as the DJ who play today (directly or indirectly), but that's maybe something that goes above the head of most clubbers.

I don't care much for Jr these days, but I don't get the bad vibes people are spending energy to create everytime his names comes out.

my wife and i haven't been to see jr since twilo, but we brought people there who said they didn't like his music, but ended up leaving blown away.

You got to give props to JV regardless how he is DJing now. He been in this game for a long time. He has produced and remixed many tracks..........

well like you said, it's "trying" to be a jr. fan and b/c of that his dancefloor can be sparse to crowded, so club owners are not going to want to deal with that drama, when they know they can put more drama-free and consistent djs behind the decks. Jr. takes his drama out on his fans by spinning like sh*t if he is having a bad day, the other djs don't. For example, DT had drama with a turntable at Crobar recently...had his moments of frustration about it, but still turned out hours of great mixing and enjoyment for everyone there. Jr. would have walked out...

JV was great 20 yrs ago. so what. today he became his own joke.
he is the michael jackson of deejays.
there are way more talented deejays out there than he ever was.

like JP right (sarcasm)

The problem with that is i dont feel that dt comes even close to giving what jr does when he is on. I could also go to victor like i did this nye instead of jr and i heard the same song played for 10 hours. Nothing creative at all! It just doesn't cut it for me and i like that Jr has a personality behind the decks. I will admit that not all the jr gigs are great but as a whole over all the years its been pretty damm good musically. He has 2 gigs comming to pacha next month...which i am sure will be good. I would at the same time like to see jr retire soon..which i am sure he will after this year.

Great night indeed, the day parties are the best thing for jr and his crowd. I hope it all works out.
