Bay Area NYE

[jackstraw94086]

OK but Sean's own staff, the BOC staff, and just about everyone else is in the dark about it so it's likely not going be something huge. Probably something just enough to make a few bucks and then close no later than 2AM.

[jackstraw94086]

so it seems they are searching for a potential event but haven't found anything yet. They don't already have something that's just not announced yet.

How is the Factory as a venue and how are the crowds there?

This line-up is a repeat of the NYE '07 that Erika and I spent at Vanguard in LA. It was also the last NYE that we thoroughly enjoyed.

[Sublime]

I think that's where they threw Almost Better Than Sex with Richard Vision. It was a real real dope venue. I ended up on stage with Ron Jeremy and like 100 naked women that were doing a bikini contest.

edit: duh, that was in LA. my bad

[fikus222]

We're going to make our NYE decision this evening. Right now it's between the Colette City Hall party and the Mark/Marques Factory party.

Wow, this is a nice option for those that aren't sold on SoD line-up, like this guy. Especially at the $30 price tag. I'm thinking this will be my NYE destination. Thanks for posting it Fikus!

The Factory is typically 18 + but I don't know about for that show. I'm intrigued though.

[fikus222]

We're leaning toward Mark 'n Marques at Factory.

Have fun! That is, indeed, a good alternative to the pricier options.

oh snap!

Facebook message from mighty:

Subject: Just Announced - NYE 2011 @ Mighty - FREE PARTY!!!!!

Alright everyone, a lot of you have been asking what we're going to do on NYE. Well spread the word - we are doing something unprecedented. For this special date, the infamous 1984 80's party which occurs every Thursday at the Cat Club is taking over the decks! In appreciation for the 12 years of your support enjoyed by 1984, we're throwing a free NYE party complete with 2 rooms of 80's music all night long! New Wave City's Skip will also be rockin' the Mighty sound system along with Dangerous Dan, Raphael Fierro, and Mark Andrus.

Complimentary champagne at midnight, and state of the art visuals and video mixing all night! Don't miss this epic event!

nothing special esp. with 80s music, but free champagne (which is sooo true, i snagged a whole bottle nye 09) and a free party isn't bad.

[GeezrRckr]

sounds like they couldn't book their #1 and had no #2. fail.

[fikus222]

Yup, nothing special. I sure am glad the Mark Farina/Marques Wyatt party at Factory came along.

[jackstraw94086]

sounds like they couldn't book their #1 and had no #2. fail.

lol.

[Devin the Dude]

That sounds like the exact last thing I would want to do on any day of the year, why would I waste New Year's there?

MIGHTYFAIL.

[zimmy1222]

not really a fail, they just have something huge planned for the morning. They're just prioritizing since BoC is more elaborate this year.

[jackstraw94086]

FAIL

[zimmy1222]

fine. totally is.

[GeezrRckr]

well, if they hadn't let everyone on about "no it's not that", then it might not be a fail.
but, quite simply....it's a fail.

i'm over it. at least none of us will have to prey/sacrifice a first born/etc to try to get a cab to come. last year was bloody hell. thank god the 22 finally arrived.

[chiapet]

I've not really felt they were doing anything for NYE, for several weeks. That's why I already made my decision.

... that said, I'd love a 1984 at Mighty with free champagne, any night EXCEPT NYE.

[shakermaker113]

well, if they hadn't let everyone on about "no it's not that", then it might not be a fail.

let everyone on about what?

[Devin the Dude]

not really a fail, they just have something huge planned for the morning. They're just prioritizing since BoC is more elaborate this year.

Wait what does this mean? Is there an event the day after?

[chiapet]

There is every year, Devin: http://www.spacecowboys.org/


BoC always looks like it would be fun. Unfortunately I am not a champion.

[Devin the Dude]

oic. Well if i am there New Year's Day I'll definitely attend.

[Devin the Dude]

Damn that looks tempting..

[chiapet]

Why would you not be here new year's day? It starts at 6AM (more or less right after Sea of Dreams).

[Devin the Dude]

Depends on if I am leaving that morning on a flight back. lol :/

[shakermaker113]

Depends on if I am leaving that morning on a flight back. lol :/

flying early NYD? damn. I flew late NYD once and really, really regretted it.

from talking to BoC peeps here and there I get the sense it is more people who want to skip the crowds and madness of NYE, sleep instead, and get up early the next day to party after the crowds have gone home and passed out. not so much an afterparty from actual NYE celebrations. though I suppose it could work that way.

[Devin the Dude]

I am down for doing it either way. I hope I(we) can stay in SF an extra day or two and do this, but it all depends on finances at this point. But if they book Lee Burridge or Laurent Garnier I'm staying, end of story.

[chiapet]

I know people who go to BoC after going out on NYE. But they never sleep.
