lalate Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 So much for the sticky lol ... people are still posting their queries below asking for advices ....I guess the best way to do this is to respond to each question outside the sticky within this sticky with the nature of the question as the subject so others can scroll for these same answers when they ask in the future.Here we go!

lalate Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 TO: arthurb3yahoo For a mixed crowd (gay and straight), try:a. Abbey. Bar/Lounge. no cover. Great music. Beautiful venue.b. Ultraswede.Nightclub.... careful cuz sometimes they cut the place in 1/2 and turn the backside into a different club with a different entry (sort of confusing). Great music, very cool staff.Ultraswede has a discount guestlist we can get you on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalate Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 TO: chaos33For people who admit they have no clue about where to go when in LA ... think about you are looking for. Here are some picks (not too much thinking into this, just thinking real quick):1. Most Popular Hot SpotsAD, Garden of Eden, still the Highlands2. Largest (Physical) Hot SpotsAD, Garden of Eden, Highlands, Arena3. Most Talkative/Approachable CrowdsHollywood Canteen4. Top BarsRed Rock, Circle Bar, Dublins5. Most BuzzAD, Ivar, Downtown StandardTry la.citysearch.com to see pictures of the venues and learn more about the venues... then, understand, with nonbar venues, the format changes each night often depending on the promoter.... you need to get on the guestlist generally (unless you are a woman and are gorgeous) to get in (you can't just be prepared to shell out money, that's not enough).Venues in LA work on exclusivity.... lines ... lists.If you want to get on any of the above lists, we can help for many of the venues.(ps.... know that clubs are probably missing from this list ... just writing this posting with about 35 seconds of thought).

lalate Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 For the question about Afterhours.... so many places in LA ... depends if you want a different separate venue for afterhours or a venue that is open evening to pass 2 am ....For Afterhours --- top choice, AD. For Venues open late --- try Hacienda, it's new. There a ton of other choices of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scratchapella Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 howyoulivin VIC! where do you get your information?!i've done a little searching and came up w/jack. a weekly at derby's? and that's about it. . . and just straightup breakbeat parties, do those exist in LA?also, i remember hearing a promo from a crew called abstract soul djs a long time ago. . .from socal. . .are they still around?oh! and no one mentions dress code requirements anywhere. . .? (gotta be thorough ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastianxy Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Wax on Saturdays and of course, the best in my opinion, Marques Wyatt @ Deep on Sunday nights @ 1650. I'm there every week I'm not lying around with an I.V. needle cause of what I did the night before...Also, Root Down thursdays, though that blends some hip-hop/ funk as well...

sebastianxy Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Originally posted by scratchapella oh! and no one mentions dress code requirements anywhere. . .? (gotta be thorough ) All these places are about the music, so just dress to make it plain, no posing there. Wax, being on Sat night is a bit dressier than the other two, but still no code. That being said, they'd probably frown upon you showing up looking like one of the Wayan brothers in "Don't be a menace...":laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarman Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 How do I get the Hollywood Canteen guestlist info? It's just about the only place I can't get the info on. ThX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalate Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 We'll keep our eyes open for you. Use to have the list for it on two days a week .... however, in general, Canteen is a small venue so don't expect a lot of people because it can only hold so many people.

deepfunk Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 scratchapella- There's great house in LA. Friday nights, try More, it's got a nice following. On Friday, Feb. 7 Miguel Migs will be in town at King King, not to be missed. Saturday nights at King King have been really strong lately. Wax has a great Saturday night as well, it's twice a month I believe and the venue is the Martini Lounge. For Saturday afterhours try Does Your Mama Know. On Sundays, it's got to be Deep with Marques Wyatt. Stop by the Wax Record store on Melrose. They always have flyers and the guys that work at the store are always in the know about the best house parties.Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepfunk Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 If you are under 18 your best bets are underground events. Stop by a few record stores, they'll have flyers. You can call them before heading out here as well. Here's a few suggestionsHouse:Wax - on Melrose in LAThis Is Music - on Melrose in LAVarious:Beat Non Stop - on Melrose in LAGrooveriders - on Ventura in Sherman OaksDJ Culture - in Costa Mesa, phone # 949.646.3548Enjoy!

lalate Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Topic #5 BirthdaysIn response to the question about where to go for birthdays ..... here are some choices:1) Century Club for dinner and dancing ... if you go for the dinner, no cover ... so you save $15-20 .. there food as of last year was very good. Esp the fish.2) Mayan --There is something sort of cool about going to a "destination" place for your birthday ... it's such a different place, esp for people seeing the first time, that it makes the whole night feel like an excursion.3) Santa Monica Pier--If you like walking on your birthday .... start the evening eating on the pier at one of the great restaurants and then hit any of the bars there or walk up to 3rd street for some fun.Finally, as an idea, if you are all from the LA area, maybe carpool a group of friends to an area you don't usually go to like Redondo Beach ... starting with dinner and then heading over to Chillers ... something like that.Overall, it's very good advice to do something/go somewhere you don't normally go to for your birthday because it makes the night feel so much more different for your guests and you... it makes it exciting, fresh, and more memorable than just another night on the sunset strip.

weyes Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 red (@ arena on fridays) has a really cool b'day deal:* the b'day girl/boy submits a list, those friends get in for $10 (instead of $20), up to 50 people * all get in vip, where there's a yummy free buffet* all get a free glass of champagne (b'day girl/boy gets 2 )* a free yummy cake (vanilla 2 layers, vanilla buttercream frosting, strawberries in the middle - not the gooey jam crap, just strawberries and whipped cream, i think )* and the b'day girl/boy gets in free unbeatable, really .for those wanting a private sort of time, the vip area is great for talking, hanging out, and noshing, before you feel like joing the rest of the party that is red. tables are reserved for you. this does require that reservations be made somewhat in advance, however.my friend did it for his b'day, and we had so much fun (and felt we got such a good deal out of it) that we did it for mine, too .just go to their website at www.nexxez.com and all the info should be under "special announcements" .
