dansampson Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 hey everyone,what does everyone make of the ensuing rivalry between Code and Buzz?As everyone knows Buzz reopens at 2K9 this Friday - do you think that we are seeing the beginning of the end of Code? Or has Code done enough in it's short existence to gain some loyalty from party-goers?Should be an interesting time...CheersDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiegirl Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 I think Code started off on the wrong foot with some of their actions.I think the Buzz heads are being pretty ridiculous with their super-aggressive hatred of Code.I think Code is not that great of a party, their headliners list is not looking too exciting lately, and I haven't seen any amazing reviews or things that would cause "loyalty" from anyone who used to love Buzz.I think a lot of people are really excited about Buzz coming back to DC, and PoTD and the Firecracker party will be stellar nights. I think Code will probably be mostly empty these nights.It will be interesting to see how the next couple months play out. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicman Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 if code brings good talent and doesnt have any problems like the first few weeks, i dont see why it cant continue. depending on who is where, is where i'll be headed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiegirl Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 I agree vic - if Code brings a DJ I want to see, I wouldn't not go just b/c it's Code. And btw - wearing this to Code is just mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadygroovedc Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 I love the Nation venue so much, that if a good DJ comes there, I'll go and have a good time. Venue is underrated. Vibe is overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansampson Posted June 18 Author Report Share Posted June 18 good point, vicman. it's who's booked that will determine the future, and of course, them not making any screw ups like they did at the beginning. i was asking because both parties target largely the same audience, and i wondered if the reappearance of Buzz in DC would bite a big chunk out of Codes door numbers.It used to be impossible to run a large-scale party on a Friday night in DC because of Buzz, if you tried to compete, you'd almost certainly lose because Buzz had such a stranglehold on the market here.But with Buzz shutting it's doors for a while, things were open again and Code sprung up, and now Buzz is reopening it will be interesting to see what happens.CheersDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karisma Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 are you joking? there is no comparisonbuzz back in its time was amazing, and even up until last year despite some closings and despite some changes it was probably one of the better parties in DC. The crowd, vibe, style, and dj's were untouchable.Code def brings in some talented dj's and to a degree they are following in the footsteps of buzz. I would go to a Code party any day if a good dj was spinning there and you can still get a *taste* of the way buzz was back in the day. Code tho attracts much more of a mainstream crowd. when i was there i got the feeling that alot of the people barely even knew what dj was spinning-- they were going just to go to the eminent fri night party at nation-- a bunch of young ones trying to get a taste of what that place was always about.Code's ok, but you seriously can't compare the two.can't wait for firecracker though!!!

cookiegirl Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 I don't think we're debating which is (or was) the better party - the question is, how will Buzz's return to DC affect Code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
