  3. what are your feelings on avaland (avalon on saturdays)?

    in Los Angeles

    Posted

    Unfortunately I have to go there for my birthday. James Zabiella and Sasha are spinning the 18th and I turn 25 on the 19th. I was hoping Spundae would get someone to go up against that, but its Tall Paul. I could pass on Zabiella or Sasha playing by themselvesm, but together......my hands are tied.

    if either of these guys were playing in a sewer*, i'd go. together? fuckin ay, CANNOT WAIT.

    *manhattan beach would suffice.

    - the comments about the crowd, some weekends yes, other weekends really no.

    i have to disagree - i've been there 5 times since i moved here, and this happened every time. it's like a changing of the guards. every late night spot has shadiness for sure, but i've been clubbing for a long ass time and the place WEIRDS ME OUT after 4am.

    pros:

    - best DJs in town

    - best soundsystem in town

    cons:

    - nowhere to sit/chill except for the shady stadium seats

    - no real personality to the place, it's just a big room

    - without fail, after 4AM, full of shady ass 40-year old asian dudes fucked on K or G, standing & swaying on the dancefloor, not dancing or talking at all

  11. favorite l.a. area club?

    in Los Angeles

    Posted

    i really like vanguard - it's huge (21,000 square feet), with a great sound system. and then there's the outdoor patio for when you wanna chill/take a break from sweating. it's huge, beautiful and comfortable, and they pipe the music out there at a lower volume. great spot.

  12. how was your new year's? (and did anyone go to giant?)

    here's an update from giant:

    ---------------------------

    Please forgive the delayed follow up… the past few days have been the worst of any of our experiences and it has been impossible to put into words all the issues and difficult decisions that we’ve faced.

    We cannot begin express to you how devastated we are that we were not able to deliver this year’s GIANT Village as planned. We made what we still believe was the right decision based the determination from the Los Angeles Fire Department that the extreme weather conditions caused serious concern for public safety.

    Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Sunday stood by Los Angeles Fire Department officials whose advice the day before helped convince the organizers of a massive New Year's Eve music festival planned for downtown to cancel the event.

    "I think the fire officials made a determination that they believed was in the interest of public safety, and I don't have any information that that wasn't an appropriate decision," Villaraigosa said Sunday.

    - Los Angeles Times, Monday, January 2, 2006

    Further pushing our decision, which we had to make at 4pm on New Year’s Eve, was the news that a stage had collapsed at Paramount Studios in Hollywood at 3pm during the set-up for another outdoor New Year’s Eve Party. The Paramount Studios event subsequently had its permits pulled and was canceled due to the severe weather.

    Although the rain subsided in the early evening, the danger of the flooded streets remained and the potential for more rain later in the evening could never be ruled out. Considering the commotion of the afternoon’s events, we did our best to notify all media outlets regarding the night’s cancellation and posted security to inform everyone who had not received the notices.

    In an emotional announcement on the night of the event, we proposed scheduling a make-up show in hopes of salvaging what we believed to be a memorable line-up. After weighing all options for a make up event, we will now be offering ticket holders the choice of a make up event package consisting of multiple club events of greater value featuring talent from the GIANT Village or a full refund for the face value of your tickets.

    Please understand that there was no benefit to us to cancel our event other than your safety. We did not have “Event Cancellation Insurance†to cover our loss, all of the artists were at the venue and we had sold more advance tickets through December 30 than any of our previous events. We make money by producing shows, not canceling shows. This was a disastrous financial loss for us.

    As difficult a time as it is for us, we’d like to assure you that we always consider the importance of our loyal customers to our business… as well as their safety. Yes, it says “rain or shine†on your ticket, but not “rain or shine, injury or death.â€

    A belated Happy New Year,

    Dave Dean

    Director, GIANT

  15. how was your new year's? (and did anyone go to giant?)

    i heard that giant may have been cancelled from a few friends on my way over to a pre-game party. we checked the giant site for a while, but nothing. the first 'official' info we saw was via the los angeles fire department's blog - wtf. eventually, there was a post on the groovetixx site - at 9 FUCKING PM.

    we made do and still had a good time that night, but i was def disappointed.

    but what about the people that travelled, got a hotel, etc.?

    and it seems that they're making it very difficult to get refunds, all based on a make-up event to be announced later. but what are the odds of getting even 5 of those acts together on the same night?

    fuck that - give me my money back.
