    Knowing that centro has had 3+ hour lines for superstar djs (deep dish) we decided to show up at 8:30 to make the most of the open bar. they didn't start letting people in until around 9:30. We were only able to make it in by 10 because of thorin aiello, who gets major props for going above and beyond the call of duty. Its good to know that there are good people in clubland.

    also major props to the centrofly bouncer who remembered us from limelight, and let us bypass the coatcheck so we could hit up the bar. again, good people in clubland.

    the open bar was a major disaster for me, as open bars tend to be. centro managed to avoid a riot by extending the open bar until 10:30, but that cunt bartender didn't tell me that vodka-imitation redbulls were not part of the open bar and charged me $20 anyway. Major FUCK YOU goes out to that grubby bitch. Did manage to weasel two drinks out of the open bar though, using the most foul tasting vodka i've ever had in my life. But enough about that.

    Coatcheck was fine, considering it was PACKED so no complaints there. Though i hear they stopped collecting because they ran out of hangers. Oops.

    As expected it was impossible to move on either dancefloor, but that's ok - its digweed. Nobody had any doubts that it was going to be PACKED. I thought that the star was a nice touch - reminded me of the flux capacitor (its what makes time travel possible), though i did miss the swirl. Thank GOD they got rid of the podium in the center. Also, they disposed of the table-service only rules in all of the sitting areas, which made it a lot easier to chill as the night went on. I'm glad centro wised up to that one. And the closing time ? was never really a question mark at all.

    Jimmy van M was good, but the repetitiveness got really tedious at around 2pm, when we were aching to get some digweed on. This one girl we had met on the line kept on saying that she heard from a "reliable source" that diggers wasn't going to show up because he was sick.

    digweed was on point as usual - that sick distorted hi-hat, the tribal filtered clickey-sound, the layered beats that made his sound so unique before progressive got huge was in full effect. And me, who usually despises anything resembling a breakbeat, relished in the smatterings of broken 4-3-4 that showed up every once in a while... especially the penultimate encore.

    Moving around was a little problematic during most of the night - there was really no room to dance until around 4, but after that it was the perfect combination of packed energy.

    As mentioned before, they shut down the bar promptly at 6, followed by a mass exodus, and those of us that remained on the dancefloor were begging for one more choon.

    (mad props to one of the busboys, who gave us a glass of water even after the entire bar was cellophaned up)

    This was definitely one of the most fun nights i've had at centrofly in a long time, though i still think that the club's very overt greed premeates everything they do, and it will only be when that changes that the club returns to its former glory. i, for one, am happy to have been fortunate to have attended an event like this, and i hope that in the future centro continues to throw these "massives", and continue to strike a better balance between courtesy and the bottom line... because the music is already there.

    peaz,

    rob

    ps have you ever noticed that no centrofly employee ever smiles? they are surrounded by all of this great music but they just look so miserable. what's up with that????

    Just some comments about your review:

    1) This was definitely one of the most fun nights i've had at centrofly in a long time, though i still think that the club's very overt greed premeates everything they do, and it will only be when that changes that the club returns to its former glory.

    Just wondering, how is it that the club's "overt greed permeates everything they do"? The owners of Centro-Fly are the anything but greedy. You got to see Digweed for a $25 ticket, open bar until 10:30, and you consider that to be greedy? Funny because Sasha played at Roxy for $40, Deep Dish at Exit for $45, hell even Danny Tenaglia and Howells played at Arc last night for $35 (and they play in NYC REGULARLY and you have NO LIQUOR). Do you consider these clubs to be greedy? For all you know, Centro could have charged the patrons $50 and people would have still came out in droves to see Digweed, but that wasnt the case.

    The club even went as far as to buy an Allen & Heath mixer (the first one in North America) which Digweed requested, added two huge bass cabinets to upgrade the sound and installed an entirely new lighting booth and system to make that night fabulous for all its patrons. Now of course you are entitled to your opinion man and I respect that, but by you calling the owners greedy then that just shows how that you dont understand what kind of hardwork goes into throwing this kind of party.

    2) ps have you ever noticed that no centrofly employee ever smiles? they are surrounded by all of this great music but they just look so miserable. what's up with that????

    Well of course every club employee would love to have a good time when they are working and most nights that is the case, however when you have a night as massive as last Wednesday where they had the greatest night as far as attendance at centro-fly, there is lots of work to be done and people are concentrating on getting their job done. Please keep in mind that there were 3000 people there on Wednesday night, it was very hectic for any bartender/doorperson/coat check/bouncer to work under those conditions. Overall they did a great job making sure everything went along smoothly with no problems so they must be commended for that. The bouncers take their job seriously...Im sure you can catch them smiling from time to time as well :)

    Overall its cool to see that you and so many others had such a great time at Centro on Wednesday (also appreciate your critiscm), we're very happy with the way it turned out :) Digweed and Van M were great and class guys to boot. Hopefully this night will set precedence for future big nights to come at Centro...you guys coming out to support events like this is the only thing that will help NYC bust out of the nightlife slump its currently facing.

I've been sick for the past two weeks (I'm finally better, at like 97% right now!) so I decided it would be best (after venturing out Thursday and Friday nite) to stay in on Saturday and miss Lawler.. two nites of good sleep and nothing but relaxing all day definitely got me better though.. how long did his set go for??

    havent you been sick for like 2 months now lol ;)

    it was a fun night overall...very surprised to see people complaining about the vocals. You cant just play beats the entire night. That Lexicon Avenue remix of Depeche Mode is an amazing piece of work.

    The Thunder was the shit...I used to love that record...I wish I could find it.

    Other than that probably Lift Me Up was my favorite, or Your Love is Taking Me Over. Of course Deep Kemical as well...that had to be like the biggest hyped record of '99 :D
