djinnom

then i got the wrong fuckin dealer.

I'm in the same boat as far as dealers go. But don't ask about dealers on this board. They'll call you a cop and ignore you forever.

has the quality gotten better recently? A few months ago, they were just horrible.

APT is fine for a 30 person party if you are doing it on a peak night like Saturday. Dress appropriately though. APT and Centro-Fly are two VERY different places. What exactly are you looking for?

For the guy asking about Marco V, he is a tech/trance DJ. His sound is very "techy" but it is most definitely trance music.

Oh yeah, on the topic, those prices seem a little above average when compared to other venues in NYC. Although I still can't understand where the $120 went, I'm sure it wasn't too far off. 2 $11 cocktails, $80 at the door, $6 at coat check will probably do it. But regarding the predominantly gay party, I think Crobar made a serious mistake. From all indications, it appears as though Saturday nights would be the predominantly gay crowd. Then they end up throwing a gay theme party on a Friday night. What's a straight guy supposed to think now? It makes everyone think this place is targeting the gay population in NYC. Hey, it's no big deal. More power to them, but I doubt a single place can have TWO successful gay parties a week and remain in business. Especially since they'll be chasing all the straight guys/girls away....for good.

He's already done fucking himself. He's just a little angry cuz he forgot to lube himself up beforehand.

I think Dino NYC is trying to impress us with the amount of money he can spend at a club and not think about it. Are we impressed? Whether I CAN or CAN NOT spend $100 a night at a club like Crobar isn't really the point. Do I WANT to spend $100 a night at a club? Most definitely no. Frankly, I don't know many ppl who do. I completely agree with barvybe. If its a special night, money isn't an object. But I don't consider going to a club every week a "special" event.

MissDiva... I understand that you are defending the guy. But you make it sound like he never made a mistake. Maybe on that particular day I went, he made a mistake for telling my friend to shut the fuck up for talking to his friends too loudly, on the STREET. That's almost, and I reiterate the work ALMOST....the same as you walking up to a person standing on the street talking to his friend and telling him to shut the fuck up. There was no reasons for his behavior. My friend didn't know about any noise complaints, I doubt anyone on that line did. If he had come over and say, "we had some noise complaints, can you keep it down", my friend most definitely would have quieted down. I'm a reasonable guy and so are the people I hang out with. So from my standpoint, I'd call that experience to be a little more than rude. But, given that I haven't had much interaction with the guy, I can't argue the good points you make about him. I hope you are right, I really do. I guess we'll just have to see as time passes and the parties become a little more "regular" at Crobar. No hard feelings. I guess we'll both have to remember that there are always two sides to a story.

ahhh, didnt know. But maybe the guy who couldn't get in was the guy living next door and the one who filed the noise complaint on a daily basis.

spend $20 less on drugs and get a new keyboard if your caps lock is broken.

Oh yeah, I remember that guy at Life. He wouldn't let a friend of mine in cuz he was talking too loud while waiting on line. We had 4 girls and 3 guys so i know it wasnt the guy/girl ratio problem. We never went back there again. And guess what...surprise surprise, the club closed down not too long afterwards (not because of me you wise asses. ). But any club with that kinda attitude at the door will eventually shut down.

The door policy needs a little work. But I understand that it was opening weekend. Any new place will have a lot of craziness going on for the first couple of weeks, if not months. I think as time goes on and things start to settle, it'll be a lot easier to judge how it is. The early weekends are just too crazy to have an objective view. I think people should just take a step back, enjoy what we have. For those who were pissed off at first glance, give it a month or two and then check it out again. I'm sure it'll be different at that time. And then you can make final judgement on whether the place is for you or not. As for me, I'll give it a rest until well after new years eve. A club's true spirit shines during the off season, like in the middle of February. I do have one question and some advice though. Given what you stated about your door policy, what would happen if you had a ticketed event? Say....you get Sasha/Digweed to spin and there are advanced tickets. Does that "picky" door policy still apply to ticketholders? Not that I would show up with a pack of 2 dozen grungy dudes or anythin'. Also related to this, selling more tickets that space allowed is just not a good idea. I know it was your opening party but its an easy way to piss off a WHOLE bunch of ticketholders if they can't get in. It happened earlier this year at the Roxy and it pissed off a whole boatload of ppl.

I dunno about you, but I have little patience for greedy door ppl who require extra "tip" to get into a club. I understand how it was back in the day. Yeah, I was one of those ppl who knew how to get around a door policy. Shit gets old. There's a reason why that went away. I don't see a reason for it to come back. After a little while, the hype will die down and the club will miss the people it pissed off early on. Do you know how many restaurants/lounges in the city had this policy only to be found empty 6 months from opening day? C'mon now. I'm not desperate enough to want to get into ANY club THAT badly. Hey, at the end of the day, I don't lose sleep over this stuff. If they have that door policy, it's plain and simple to me. I just won't go. Works for them, works for me.

hipster crowd? Hmmm, not good news. We have enough places in NYC targetting that crowd. It's not good news for a megaclub to be targetting a crowd that'll eventually move on after 2 months. I dunno if the guys at Crobar have done their research but places that target these kinda ppl in NY live very short lifespans before turning into just another "played out" place to them. But I won't have concrete judgement until I check Crobar out at least a couple of times. I'll wait until January to go though. The opening months are always either "great" or "suck hard" and the current reviews seem to support this.

This has got to be one of the most ignorant statements I've read here. I'll put it simply, Stereotyping anyone for any reason is not a good thing. Period. Get it? Got it? Good. Stop trying to justify a certain "type" of stereotyping. That's your definition and everyone will have their own list of acceptable types. The only way to avoid the problem altogether is to not stereotype at all.

The place sounds intriguing. Definitely worth a look for sure. Regarding the DJ, I agree with Bassboy. But maybe they have some other tricks up their sleeves? Who knows. Only time will tell.

Oh yeah, one more thing. I didn't see a rep from Avalon showing up on this board answering our questions. In fact, I only see a handful of club reps here. I think its a good thing.

No matter how you slice it, Crobar is a GREAT addition to the city. Although I have reduced the amount of times I go to clubs these days, I am definitely looking forward to checking Crobar out. And I'm sure a lot of ppl feel the same way. This is EXACTLY the type of place the city needs and has been craving for a loooong time. A lot of ppl will have judgements about a place w/o even checking the place out. And when I say check it out, i mean more than just once. If managed right, this place could become the next great icon to the city's great history. Just give it a try, try it more than once and THEN make your judgement. Who knows, maybe in 3 years time, we'll all think back at Crobar and talk about it like we talk about Twilo now. And with a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work, we won't be talking about the past but actually going to Crobar that very weekend. Good luck to Crobar. It is what we make it to be. We bring the vibe, they provide the great music and if the club listens to feedback, it'll work.

Based on early rumors, he'll probably swing down between Late April and May. He typically starts his US tour on the east coast. But hey...you never know. If he's coming in from Asia, he may start his tour on the west coast, making it more of a June NYC arrival.

Someone here said it best.... If your wife to be invited two "close" friends that you have never met before in your life, I'd question how close they really are. Typically, when a couple gets married, they know each others close friends. Add to this suspicious activity the fact that she was riding both of them in the not to distant past makes it even worse. Like someone else said, its about class and respect.

I've had friends save pills for years. They'll be fine.

a tunnel? bah. stop trying to steal the limelight in this thread.

I dont think he's spun more than a 2-3 hour set in NYC in 3 years. I think the last time was at hammerstein ballroom. I believe that was a 4 hour set. Did he do the "god" pose again?

what if the ex gave you the most mind blowing sex you've ever had and probably will ever have again in your entire lifetime. I mean this person was doing stuff to you that you didn't think you had the imagination for and every single night was like the first night this person ROCKED YOUR WORLD. So much so that you were thinking about it for days after it happened. So much so that you quiver for hours after from the shock of how mind blowing it was. But this person wasn't compatible in any other way. Then after 4-5 ex's who absolutely sucked at sex (no pun intended), you run into this person and that person invited you over.
