vikkii123 Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 Hello all. Welcome to Boston. Where is everyone going to school? What for?I'm a native Bostonian. And yes Boston will never compare to the NY Club scene. It's more of a drinking town. But what can you do. Defiantly check out Avalon and Axis. There is a new club that just opened up to Tilt. Haven't checked it out yet so not sure what that is like. But I'd stay away from the Palace (cheesy!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 First off, Tilt is NOT cheesey - Tilt is by far my favorite club now. It is not even reminicent of the old Palace. The entire Avalon Saturdays crowd has followed Manolo over to his new home. I have been an Avalon regular from 1996-2001, and the vibe and look of the new Tilt blows Avalon out of the water. no joke. Manolo spins much more intesnse sets then you ever heard out of him at Avalon....he has free range at Tilt. The management is great, the place is done over completely and looks unbelieveable. And the sound will shake you to your core! Last week they had Jana performing 'Stairway to Heaven', a trapeeze artist over everyone's heads, flame-throwers, explosions.....it's unreal. Second, if you want to read an active Boston board, check out http://www.soundfactoryboston.comIntroduce yourself in the Meeting Room section. Maw, I work full time AND I am an MBA student at Suffolk University so I know exactly what you mean...i don't want to get any older Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize that Tilt is now the old palace. Please forgive me. I was just saying that the Old palace is cheesy because some one else in the thread had referred to it!Sorry about that!

Avalon Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 I'm sorry if that came off snappy!!! I just want people to know that there is world of difference between the old Palace and the new Tilt. Trust me, I am a club snob...I won't even step foot in the Roxy. I know how cheesey the Palace used to be - and I thought Manny & Phil would have a hard time overcoming that and changing peoples minds....but they did it in only 2 weeks!Tilt has it's own entrance, it's 21+ now, strict dress code on Sat, it has been completely renovated, the sound is unbeleiveable, and Manny is the DJ - how can you beat that!? I have to admit, the first week, there was still some leftover northshore trash. But by last week it was gone, and it's all the old Avalon crew. Yay Tilt!Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maw Posted September 27 Author Report Share Posted September 27 Thanks guys, great to get some advice...someone actually told me to go to the Roxy and I'm happy I had you guys to tell me not to before I wasted my time. Hopefully at some point we can meet up, its hard to find people like me out here.Marissa: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyboston Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 I actually used to work at Avalon. Growing up around here I'd been to the Palace when I was younger and hated it. I left the world of bouncing and became a promotor. When the "Palace" reopened as "Tilt" I was asked to help out. I agreed with hesitation. Then I saw the room, it has the feel of a Miami club, cat walks, and white sheets..... The staff is mostly made up of people who used to work at Avalon. If you have not seen what has been done with the room it's worth a trip to see it. If you need guest list you can email me at rjproductioninc@hotmail.com take carecasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maw Posted September 27 Author Report Share Posted September 27 I joined that Sound factory Boston discussion group and found out that JP will be at Avalon on Friday. I'm definitely going! Will anyone else be there?? I also definitely want to check out Tilt so I'll be in touch! Thanks Casey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 hey marrisa - you'll definetly get a lot more out of the SF board than this one. No one ever shuts up over there anyway, Kara ('sparkem00' over here), FunJen & I (Erin over at SF) will all be at Avalon for JP on Friday. They are 2 pretty big Factory-heads too, they are down there at least once a month or so. They are going through 'in your eyes' withdrawals - lol!Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erin Erin what is the dress code at Tilt? I was talking about it with some friends and I think we are going to check it out.Thanks!Vikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 On Saturdays, for girls - pretty much anything goes. Guys, the usual 'proper dress' nice shirt, no cargos, and they have a very strict NO BOOTS in the building policy. Fridays is more relaxed, just no sneakers, hats or athletic wear.Just make sure you go around back to the Tilt entrance, because you can't get in from anywhere else in the palace.Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
