now that i have had time to think about the night.. i must say i give it an "ehhh" rating.. i didnt walk in expecting twilo..but they sure as hell didnt come close. i got in fairly quick cause i had arrived early...but to those that waited long..what did you expect?? it is like that every year for any special event on thanksgiving,...you cant complain there. sound system - sound system was horrid...but it was what i expected..big hall hard to setup for. but it can be done..they just didnt do it. that ringing in your ears is damage done by the sound....definitely not a positive thing. lighting - was ok...but they could have done a hell of a lot more with all that space.. staff - all cool...had conversations with a bunch of them...i thought it was organized fairly well..i didnt have one hitch in the 6 hours that i was there. drinks - yes you had to get tokens...but the bartender got to work faster..never had to wait...and the house vodka was Grey Goose..and served in a plastic pint cup...nobody can complain there..you were lucky to pay only 10$ a drink...in some bars..you get half the amount..and pay more... music - barely heard anything..but..jimmy van m was nice..and the first 2 hours were nice...it was more chunky stuff that had a pop to it....later on when it got melodic..is when they lost me. crowd - no complaints...nothing really bothered me... it wasnt a musically enhanced night for me...but many friends of old and new were there entertaining me enough to not let the night get to me. the group that threw the party needs to plan things out better...for 60$ there should have been a hell of a lot more going on then a simple stage setup and a few lasers. they are lucky that the venue itself was amazing...specially to ny-ers who are used to dark dingy boxes fulled to capacity. oh..one last thing...the lack of herbs in the place was rather disturbing..i could not find any anywhere.
