July 23rd 2009

So there was only one event that night (only one in SF that is, there was illusions that night, but i didnt cover it)

TonicLive had their weekly party at NV, this one being called, Wet and Wild. I arrived late but i was still able to see the wet tshirt contest which i found out was rigged! grrrr. its ok tho. Out of 3 pairs of boobs i saw 4 nipples and only 2 of those were worth seeing. The winner had a bra on =( disappointing. But its alright i guess. 400+ ppl. Not a bad turn out for TonicLive. Its the best they have done in a while and they did have the only SF party.

Everybody seems to be waiting for next thursday. I was just updated on this whole july 30th mayhem thats about unfold, and wow, what a story. And from the looks of that side chat, we have a heated battle brewing. If yall dont know what im talking about, im talking about Mission Rock vs. Club 525, Breaking Point vs New Era, 1Year Anniversary Party vs. Launch Party. And oh yeah apparently Underworld too with their "Summer Nights" @ Glaskat, which by the way, is different than Breaking Points "Summer Nights" @ Mission Rock.

Hm...what else to talk about, only having one event makes this too short so lets do some gossiping.

You cant tell me this sidechat wasnt an awesome idea. Its so entertaining! Lol. So lets see. It seems alota people dislike New Era Ent. and theyre not even launched yet! Lol sucks to be them, Alotta pressure to succeed under Tonics shadow.

Hmm what else...
Lets Stir up some drama with an exciting poll!
YOU ONLY HAVE 2 DAYS TO VOTE! SO VOTE NOW!!

Thursday July 16th 2009

There were 3 events that night...BayHype at Glaskat, Underworld at Mission Rock, and of course TonicLive at Club 525(NV)

I'll let Underworld go first since they barely make this blog. Well, maybe they shouldnt go first. There was very little to say about this party. The numbers i'm receiving are putting the event around an average of 100ppl attended. But again i must say this, whens the last time you attended a packed 18+ mission rock party? But you may be asking, "wasnt SuperCrew supposed to be there?" That was my question exactly. My inside source says they cancelled on their appearance for that night and the night after at Illusions. Oh well, maybe Underworld has some more tricks up their sleeve? Eh.
And im not quite sure when the next Underworld party is. Rumor says this thursday, but i see no promotions for it. So can somebody update me on this.

TonicLive had their weekly "Playground" events at Club 525 or Club NV whatever you want to call it. And once again, the dancefloor lacked people. Tonic needs to think of something quick before his reputation is completely tarnished. Im sure something big is coming up for Tonic thats going to rise them back up from the dead and make them top company competitors. Maybe adding NEW ERA will help them. LOL! I only brought that up because of the sidechat over there ---->
I have no opinion on that subject. I'll wait until that date to make my comments.
But yeah anyway, back to business. Official numbers? I dont have it, but sources say, approx.150. So it looks like by comparison they beat out Underworld! Not a big accomplishment but hey, at least we know Tonic isnt on the bottom this week. TonicLives next party is next week of course, Wet & Wild at Club 525.
OMG i almost forgot. Wasn't this party called BEST PARTY EVER. Oh man, I told myself i would rip on this party if it wasn't the Best Party Ever. And, sorry Tonic,as much respect i have for you, it definitely wasn't the Best Party Ever =( Maybe adding New Era would be better than adding iRock to your parties. iRock also had illusions saturday i think. Well my friend went and said it was boring so um sorry nothing positive to say about irock this week! LOL Ok ok ok no more smack talking from my end. You guys are lucky i dont let my other writers access to this blog directly because man, theyre harsh! But i'm the nice one =) Whooohoooo! Best Party Ever, gotta love it.

Lastly, BayHype had Sugar 2.0 @ the much loved and hated Glaskat. I hear so many complaints about Glaskat, yet so many people come back for more. And if you dont know why people keep coming back then you should have been there this week. Thats 2 weeks back to back, i believe, that Glaskat had to cut off the line and close the doors around midnight. Hmmmm does that put BayHype Breaking Point Uprising & Blackout as the top companies?? I'm not gonna answer that. I just wanna see if that statement will stir up some gossip =P Yes, I am evil like that!LOL!
Anyway, back to the topic. Just like every other BayHype party, packed dance floors and "darker" crowds. But hey, nothing like a little diversity to mix it up right. At least theres no Majorities in this mixed crowd. Now when I showed up, this line was freaking looooong. Even was able to grab some lip gloss for the misses =].
But yes, this party was a good implication on how BayHype is doing on throwing parties by themselves with no help. Next party for BayHype is "Exclusive" August 6th @ Glaskat. And oh man! forgot to say, was there an ambulance outside? WTFeezy happened? I'm noisy, somebody tell me what happened.

Next Week It Looks Like Tonic is by themselves with WET & WILD @ Club 525, since i see no proof of a Glaskat party. Oh btw, next thursday at NV is a wet tshirt contest. If i go, the ladies must promise to wear white shirts with NO bras!LOL!

And once again. ROASTLIST.COM IS FREAKING HILARIOUS!! I feel like roasting someone. Hmmmmm. Who should i choose. Muahahahaha.

Oh and another note. Can CEO's or anyone from every company send me logos so I can post them up in a special sections i will be making soon. And again, no hard feelings irock, you set yourself up for that rant.
Thanks!

Thursday July 9th

White Attire Affair Vs. Flashing Lights

Club 535 (NV) presented White Attire Affair and of course, hosted by Tonic. Umm rumor has it that there were only 5ppl there but that was only verified by the security guards. After a quick drive by NV i saw no lines and nobody really around, so, off to glaskat i go!

Flashing Lights presented by Breaking Point Uprising and Blackout. The line at 11pm surprised me actually, no lie. This line was alot longer than me and my other writers expected, no offense but these companies arent known for long lines, at least to us. Upon entering glaskat i was handed my glowsticks and entered the much too familiar glaskat. it wasnt bad at first but around 1230ish i noticed they werent letting people in anymore. i left the bar area and oh man, this was definitely a sold out party. A very diverse crowd which a good ratio between guys & girls and between boppers & well everyone else. My only main concern is that im hoping these gogos werent paid. It was confusing seeing them up there for 5mins turn around and all of a sudden theyre gone. I think i counted 6 gogos but couldnt really tell between all the stripper moves and all the rapid movements that i can i barely can call dancing. At one point the stage was swarmed by people and suddenly i saw gogos on top of guys laying down. wtf. is this a strip club. well i think thats enough gogo bashing for one blog, i can always just wait for the next one =) cmon gogos! prove me wrong!!! Breaking Points next party will be July 30th at KMR for their ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

This week was a one sided battle, but knowing tonic, they will do something and somehow be right back in the mix. So its all good.

Next Week we have, BayHype at Glaskat with Sugar 2.0, Underworld and GCode at KMR with Stars and Stripes, & Tonic and iRoc (LOL) at NV with Best Party Ever.

And before we get to the voting, i hope by now everyone has visited Roastlist.com! The shit is hilarious. You bay area gogos better be on your best behavior because they are pickin yall off like flys! Read it and Enjoy!

July 2nd 3rd & 4th

So after my vacation, i come back to alota critics with both positive and negative views on my blog. bottom line is, if you enjoy it then thank you, if not, then dont read it. i've never heard of having wrong opinions. but neway, down to business.

July 2nd 2009
At Glaskat was Bayhype with their VIP EXCLUSIVE. At NV (Club525) was TonicLive with MASSIVE their 4th of July PRE-Party.

First is Glaskat, because i was there =). Now this is the first time ive been to a party where the company guarenteed 600+ ppl (i prefer the modest companies) but with the respect bayhype has earned, this party did not fail. although the guy to girl ratio was still off, it was definitely better than the usual bayhype glaskat party. the bar may look like a ghost town but u couldnt tell from the dance floor. With my excellent estimating skills(LOL), i say around 500+ ppl there. and again hit me with the correct numbers if you have so i can give credit where credit is due. my final quote for that night is, "NOBODY DOES BOPPER BETTER!"
Bayhypes next party is July 16th called "sugar 2.0"...sounds like another "walk it out" situation to me =)

Next is Club525. The official number is 250+, coming straight from Mr.Tonic himself. Direct quote from Mr.Tonic,

"But still too slow for me.I rather have 200 hotties than a 1000 hood cats"

At least he's honest about his party. and like i said i would do, i will say writer3 was at the party with the confirmation that it was 250+ ppl. I guess doing every week at one place can have that effect right. Theres not alotta weekly parties that have high populations consistantly, which could say why not alotta companies do weekly parties. But again, that is just my opinion on the matter. takes alotta humility to accept the results and run with it. anyway, can anyone guess when the next tonic party is? .....THATS RIGHT! Next Week right back at 525 "White Attire Affair" with the lovely ladies of aKDPHI.

July 3rd 2009
Underworld presents HIGH SOCIETY at Kellys Mission Rock.
Ummm...if i said typical underworld party would yall understand that? LOL yah nothing special. 200? maybe, and im being generous with that number. i dont know how to say this nicely but, damn they miss bay function!LOL
Next Underworld Party is "Stars and Stripes" @ Mission Rock July 16th. With SuperCrew there, that alone should bring ppl right? right...?

July 4th 2009
Alotta parties this weekend leading up to the 4th of july!
Nexus 5 Year Anniversary @ Mission Rock! I decided to stop by after watching some fireworks. Too bad it didnt make it the whole night. But lets not focus on the party stopping fight, and lets focus on the party instead. ok the fight was actually more interesting than this party. Turn out wasnt any different than Underworlds the night before. But at least they had a handful of gogos you can watch =) eye candy is always nice. And since ive seen zero flyers i dont know when the next Nexus party is, but since GCode hosted it i can say, "Stars and Stripes"..haha thats double promotions! cheaters...

So that covers the 4th of july weekend in SF! I am no longer covering Abyss or any southbay venue since this is technically a SF INDUSTRY blog.
Oh and on another note, this sidechat, everyone is getting outta pocket here (including my own writers). so lets leave this chat for ppl who wanna be here not ppl who only comeback just to respond to the chat. We all should be adults here so lets act like it. and for those who havent read it, oh man u should go back and read it, its a good way to kill time during work!

and i leave with this quote!

"Every promoter will always say their parties are the best because they lack humilty. Egos too big that's why they won't last"

Friday June 19th?

I completely forgot about Abyss Friday, so ima have to do more research and complete this later.
Send me numbers,pictures,logos anything to help with this one. thanks

Thursday June 18th 2009

Ok so I'm here with another late update. The events that should be covered are, The Playground @ Club NV, Sugar @ Glaskat and Eclipse @ Abyss.

First, The Playground. Didn't hear much from this party, so i'm just expecting the normal Tonic Live crowd with the normal Tonic Live numbers, that is, until i get word of a official number.

Sugar, hosted by BayHype is next. At first I expected the normal Bayhype, the long lines and crowded dance floors, but they over exceeded my expectations on this one. Long lines that stayed until 12 - 1230 when they finally hit capacity and closed the doors. Overall a very good party which is what everyone expected from Bayhype party. Still dont have a official number, but i will update this as soon as i get one.

Eclipse, The Official Pre-Launch Party of Eclipse Ent. With so many new companies we don't expect everyone to start off good. I mean really, theres only so many companies that are able to stick around for a long time, you got your TonicLive, BayHype (formally BayFunction), iRock (formally RockTheBay), and Underworld who recently have been hanging on by a thread, and then you got your rising stars that have made it thru a year, your BreakingPoints and Uprising. But Eclipse showed that they are a force to be reckoned with. Everyone loves abyss so the normal people will show up, but being able to really fill it up is something different. And from what everyone has told me and all the pictures i saw, this was definatly a southbay event you should not have missed. Can't wait to see what they do for their Launch Party. Good Luck Eclipse Ent.

And on another note, I'm reading this side chat, and i guess you can say,there are alotta stong opinions. What i need to make clear is that this blog was made to be informative, ive always made this open to the public to tell me their opinions and fill me in if i missed anything or if i made a mistake. And to say these are just the asian companies, then show me other 18+ that pull and i'll be glad to cover those. Plus isnt SanFrancisco like 80% asian. Im not here to talk shit about all the companies, and a certain person immaturely confronted me about my blog, so i will gladly stop mentioning them in this blog. All the companies should take this information as, this is what the customers see. Of course everyone is gonna think their own party was the better one, so knock yourself down a notch and just accept that everybody has good parties and everyone has bad parties.

But back to business, Next Week we have Tonic vs. Underworld! The Playground vs. Boogie Bots. And the word on the street is that Boogie Bots wont be there! Well you're gonna have to wait and see!

and like usually...send me pictures and logos. comments are always welcomed.

Thursday June 11th 2009

Ok sorry for taking so long but this one was a little more difficult to do. I didnt know that many people that went to NV and i got mixed reviews about Mist. So i am going to write what i know and yall can correct me if i wrong.

Start with Club NV or Club 525 or whatever its called now, hosted by Tonic Live. I think this one was called, Little Black Dress Affair. And from the word on the streets about 50 - 100 people were there, give or take. Once again i'm not sure, just what i heard. And if you read my last post, i said NV is about a 1500+ capacity, 50-100 people isn't so hot.
(*EDIT* Just got official numbers for the event...206...thats alot better than 50!)
But on another note, TonicLive was also in Sac at Empire. And by the sounds of it and by the expectations of it, that did very well.

Uprising had the other event in SF that night at Mist Ultra Lounge (formally Loft11), called SummerTime inthe SFC. I heard this event started very slow, with the top floor not open until late into the night. But eventually the top floor openned and the place started to fill. Although this is just a rumor, i heard that alot of people from NV eventually came to Mist, but i must repeat, a rumor.

And again information is very limited this week, for i have gotten very little feedback from my reliable sources. But next week for sure i will check out "Bow Ties & Miniskirts" @ Club 525 and "Sugar" @ Glaskat.

Oh and like how i ended my last post, Abyss wasn't too bad. Seems like Ralph Nader is hanging in there huh lol.

Ok so now i leave with this. If anyone has anymore info about these past events, anything from, numbers (official or estimates), pictures or just any feedback, please feel free to leave a comment.
