Wolfgang Gartner @ the Avalon - 8/13

[feather]

You should get tickets asap. Avalon popularity is through the roof now. Small acts don't matter anymore that place gets packed with hipsters! Plus it will always cost more at the door. Have fun guys, I think I have to sit this out.

Oh and Jeremy didn't know it was for your bday! We'll have to celebrate another time

[djandrews25]

they've had some dank shows, but that place blew up too fast and now it's just no fun.

That place blew up in 2001-2. Your first show was in 2010?

[mmblack]

lolwut

No, my point is, I am not doing this again. I am not showing up to the fucking Avalon 3 hours early to hear a bunch of shitty DJs I couldn't care less about and wait, presumably having to get wasted with the rest of the brofist crowd simply to entertain myself and only to not remember Wolfgang's 90 minute set that should have been 2 hours an hour earlier. Not to sound bitter, they've had some dank shows, but that place blew up too fast and now it's just no fun.

a) learn how to handle your alcohol.
b) if wolfgang had wanted two hours, he would have it.
c) harvard bass is at least decent.
d) bring some friends and just ignore the bros.
e) grow a pair. do you have a curfew or something?

[Mr. Dylanja]

Well this thread sure took a turn for the lulz.

Tisk tisk, Develyn.

I've actually decided not to go, i really wanted to but the packed factor made me decide not to attend this. We will have to party another time indeed.

[TheScenestar]

Anyone have any extra tickets? I snoozed and didn't buy presale tickets while they were online. Snoooze. =(

This made me lol extremely well.

JUST PUT UP WITH SHITTY CROWDS. IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT. YOU MUST GO TO SHOWS LIKE THIS OR YOU HAVE NO BALLS.

Excuse me for not wanting to spend $30 on a clusterfuck of brohsephs and hoesephs. I actually feel sad to say that my amazing friends can no longer make up for that place. If I was in L.A., I'd be at Govinda anyway, where I at least know that even if I only care about one artist I'm not going to have to hang with a shady crowd all night waiting for that one act.

You guys are seriously the most unbelievably nitpicky douchebags sometimes.

Oh, and you're so O.G. Andrew. Sorry for not being older than I am? What do you want me to say here?

[suprefan]

Oh Control, how much of a mess you are sometimes, but still fun in the end.

[Devin the Dude]

I WAS SO WRONG NOT TO ATTEND. WHAT A PUSSY!!

[emtgreg]

Hahha, that was actually one of the funnest nights I've had at Control in a while...

[suprefan]

Considering your company, yes..... Did you go down to Bardot like I told you?

[ELECtROjan]

more crowded that the rusko clusterfuck a while back?

[suprefan]

The line for everyone who didnt have tickets was down the block for starters. Will call took only half an hour luckily. And yeah, it had to have been worse. It was a $40 cover. how much was Rusko?

[patsfan5454]

Last night was F*cking Ridiculous!! I don't think that place can ever get that packed again it was just wall to wall people everywhere in that place! Thank God I found a decent spot on the rail in the balcony where their was room to dance and just an epic view of that crowd, Wolfgang threw it down last night fo sho!! the will call wasnt bad for me at all, got there around 11 and made my way through the line in 5 minutes

[ELECtROjan]

no idea.

As for the Avalon argument.... I lived in LA for four years before moving back to SF last September and Avalon was only consistently relevant for the last year and a half or so. Yes, they sporadically had talent but it wasn't even open every weekend and when it was it was hardly crowded. I would say it picked up when they started collaborating with promoters like insomniac and HARD and rallied off the success of EDC

[digitaldragon03]

Wolfgang might have had the most energetic set ever at Control last night. It was one of the best crowds ive seen outside of the Sahara.

[suprefan]

He did better at EDC, and everyone was crazy because they were drunk and rolling.

Clubs that have longevity like Avalon go through cycles. Andrew is right, it was big in 2001-2002. For awhile everyone hit Spundae at Circus in the 2003-2004 period. Then Vanguard came along and took the top spot. Now Avalon is the place to be again. This stuff is all very natural.

[Aurgasm]

why did he chose the name Wolfgang Gartner? I'm curious... is it a joke like Claude von Stroke?

Spundae used to be THE SPOT back in the day. Anyone remember Club Rubber in Orange County? .......yeah

We were busy

I do want to check it out next time...maybe for Annie Mac?

If they do the same thing, sure, it just depends. I have never seen it like that. And duh, obviously you were busy, you and the ladies I tell you. HAHAHA PLUR.....

Riva Starr and Annie Mac is going to be so fucking fly.

this is looks like a amazing time

[guedita]

It looks like a (fun) fire hazard.

[suprefan]

It was. Easily 2000+ people packed into a club that should only hold 1500 at the most. And it went to 5am.
