oh don't even laugh at the 2:30 closing times.....we have to deal with 2am closing times in Boston.....and on weekdays in Providence, RI at clubs such as Metropolis closing time is 1am! we get top notch and international DJ's on a weekly basis (Sasha on Thursday, Icey Friday this week) at Avalon here but the closing times are ridiculous! the only good thing we have going is Fridays Avalon opens up into 4 clubs (soon to be 5) and usually there will be top DJ's in both Avalon and Axis, right next door to each other and you can go back and forth between the two clubs. For instance last Friday was Sandra Collins in Avalon, Doc Martin in Axis. This friday is Jerry Bonham in Avalon, Icey in Axis, after having Sasha on Thursday. everywhere has it's own scene, and ours sucks big time. it's mainly because we don't have enough clubs getting in the big names and our early closing times. this is something we all complain about quite often. if we are lucky we get treated to great DJ's at afterhours. the last time i was at afterhours in Boston we had Porter, Cass and then a guest appearance by Satoshi Tomiie all in one night, from 2am - 7:30am (you are still laughing at the closing time i know) but hey it was quite a treat
