reddog4063 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Tried to kick off my NYE at Filter 14, but when we got there at 11:30 they told us there was a wait of several hours to get in because there were more people on the line then could actually fit inside the club. So we went into a panic because we had NO backup plan that early in the evening since we didnt think every place would be full that early. So after discussing for awhile (and celebrating midnight on the corner of W14th street) we decided we would go to Exit to see Jonathan Peters.Get to the club alittle after 12:15 expecting it to be empty (since JP keeps a very late crowd), but the line was a block and a half long!! Finally got inside after 12:30. Turns out the price was raised to $60 bucks, we heard it was $40. The wait for coatcheck was ridiculous, we spent more time on the coatcheck line than we did on the line to get in. Another thing, no one checked our ID's or searched us when we entered the club. FINALLY checked our coat and already were dripping with sweat. It was an oven inside the club, not to mention the fact that it was definitely over occupancy limits. There were times where my feet were barely on the ground and the crowd was practically carrying me. Also, the bars were undermanned, it took 40 minutes for me to get drinks and when they came it was $59 bucks for 3 shots and 2 beers...WTF! By the time I was able to find a bartender for another drink I would already be sobering up from the last one, it was like fighting a losing battle.JP was good, mostly sticking to older tracks that everyone knew from the factory days. He wasn't taking alot of chances musically. I thought the soundsystem was excellent this night. I've been to Exit a few times over the years and never heard the system so bassy and clear. The crowd was pretty friendly, everyone saying excuse me when we bumped into each other (which was very often considering I heard the club did record numbers).Exit bouncers were another story all together - it was like 1-900-dial a thug in there. I saw bouncers screaming into the faces of girls half their size to "keep moving" even though the club was packed shoulder to shoulder throughout the club. It was ridiculous. I saw them beat the shit out of this kid, I'm not sure what he did or anything but he was saying "just gimmie my coat and ill leave" and they beat him into a stump and threw him out without the coat. Saw two girls get carried passed out by security as well, probably from heat stroke.Left around 6am and headed over to Filter 14, this time no line - got in right away. Bumped into alot of people I knew and also got introduced to alot of new friends as well. Kickin off the new year right! The vibe was simply incredible, danced my arse off, had a few drinks, talked and mingled. I kinda wish I had gotten into Filter the first time around as I sure I could've spent all night there - not that Exit was bad, but they could've let 1400 less people into the club and it would've been more comfortable. oh and another thing....EXIT, please get non-slip padding for the staircases, seriously, I saw more nasty tumbles than anything, and it wasnt drunkeness, the stairs were full of black slippery slush like some ghetto rave.... Stayed at Filter until the crowd thinned out which was around 10AM I think. I had a GREAT time there, the best night out in a few months. Alot of people were either heading to a loft party or going to LOT61 for afterhours but I was pretty banged up by then and decided to stop by my job to rest up since I had to start working in a few hours. All in all it was a great (but very expensive) night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludicalana Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 all I have to say is WOW... you are absolutely out of your mind if you think that JP sucked at EXIT... I couldn't have thought of a better place to be on New Years Eve... Or think of having a better time than I did... Either your smoking some good shit if you thought it was bad, or you need some good shit to kick you back into reality... Exit was OFF THE CHAIN... The vibe was awesome... everyone there was awesome... and the music was fcuking crazy... can't wait to do it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
