NY, NYC - 01.15.06 Sunday - I HAVE A DREAM @ the Roxy *REVIEW*

I'm so incredibly pumped for this party, I can't wait! this will be the first time my fiancee & i make it out to NYC, we're leaving tomorrow morning & going to the Unmask the Hardcore party tomorrow night too!

a long weekend in ny, pretty sure this will be the best party weekend we've ever had!
 
Hahaha no I didn't photoshop that, I got it from another webite.

I too have to work monday morning...supposed to be in at 7am. I think I will be calling in sick ;)
 
i am tooooooooooootally going to this party... first since halloween, yay! i deserve it. :) i've never actually been to the roxy - looking forward to seeing it. do you think it will be necessary to get there early to avoid a huge line?
 
i haven't been to any huge parties at the roxy, so i wouldn't know :\ it is bigger than avalon, so that's good.
 
i haven't been to the roxy in yeeaaars! so i'm also interested in how crazy the lines will be tonight! i'm probably gunna show up around 11ish eitherway

Can't WAIT! this is going to be a really good time!!

Anyone wanna do a meetup? I don't know the venue, so i suggest someone else recommends a place... i'll be the mofo dancing his ass off, in the green UFOs,red shirt and wool hat. Some of ya may recognize me! say hello!!
 
I always forget about going to meetup spots, but we should try to do one anyway :) How about in the corner area by the bathrooms? They are located to the left of the stage (if you're facing the stage) off the dancefloor at the end of the bar. Not hard to miss, theres like a little corner area over there. Say 1am? I'll try to remember to be there. Hehe I'm bustin out my ufo's which I haven't worn in years, for old times sake:) Also wearing a black sleeveless type shirt and an olive green DC Shoes zip-up.
 
lol... same here... these silly pants have been in a draw for a good 2 years now... I'm defiantly down to meet up... I'm pretty sure i can still recognize you by face as well.

how many area's does Roxy have other then the main stage? they gonna be able to break up the lineup well? I'm psyched for Bailey!
 
They have a smaller back room which is where the dnb will most likely be. Also a smaller narrow room which is upstairs.

No offense but I'm bad at reckognizing people so if you see me before I see DEFINATLY say hi!
 
well, i had a great time....

if i was to review the party itself, I'd give it a B thou..

Pros:

a. glaude and feelgood were awesome
b. funk and assault was great as always
c. ODI was tearing it up until they shut him down
d. there was plenty of room to dance in the main floor
e. kurtis blow was pretty cool to watch
f. havok was doing a decent job at closing the night out
g. some mad good dancers

cons
------
a. the speaker system in the main room sucked. it continuously kept cutting out
b. the other rooms were a joke... the upstairs is incredibly narrow, and the jungle room was small and hot as BALLS
c. i showed up late, but I'm pretty sure Bailey Craze and Venom did not show
d. i wasn't a fan of afrika bambata... i think it was around when RE.S.P.E.C.T came on that i had enough..
e. see A
f. at times, it was pretty dam empty... i think this is what caused the venue to turn on the lights for the last hour or so!

but overall, i did have a really good time. For a little while, i saw Trixxee in the distance - but when i finally got around to saying hi, she was already leaving :(

But i did meet some great people - including a group of mad good dancers from MASS/CT - who said I dance identical to one of their buddies... o well, for an ol' timer like me - it felt really good getting back into it... i hope there are some more worthy events in the near future.
 
The place wasn't too crowded which was awsome. The hardcore sucked ass as usual, luckilly they got that over and done with in the begining. I thought Afrika Bambaataa was fun but not impressed, and Kurtis Blow I could have done without. Nothing against oldschool hip hop and shit but how much can you take. Music got much better when Glaude and Feelgood came on, but I'd had enough and was ready to go when they were done.

As I expected I forgot about the meetup! I remembered all before and during the begining of the party. Next thing I know I check my cell phone at its almost 2am already lol. At least you caught me on the way out :)

Arthur it was great seeing you as usual, though it was brief.

Overall I was not impressed with this party, but I didn't expect to be either. Also it could have been MUCH worse so I can't complain there.
 
ya.. thats true. For sure, "the Real Hiphop Is OVER!"...

I learned this from KRS-One at One Nation... hiphop has no place at a party imo... i was just amused by Kurtis Blow because of the breakers that basically took over the stage and forced him to join in!

But i hear you trixxie - it definatly wasen't an "amazing" party by any means... i guess i just make my own fun... thou I may of had a little help :)

Hahaha exactly!! me and my friends were saying the EXACT same shit while he was on
 
My turn BIOTCHES!!

hahaha, but yeah I have a good review of this party as well. It was definitely kickass!! First I was happy that the venue was changed and was changed to the Roxy. I've always had fun there. Plus thats where they had the last IHAD I think. ANyways good venue selection.
The music was on-point ALL night in my opinion. Everything from the hardcore to house to the DnB.
I rocked out. Ooh my did I rock out. I very much still have the magic and I'm happy about that, because I love EDM. And I was sober the whole night, (no goodies at all. Good party but to me not worth it. But definitley worth the fatty blunt I smoked just before walking in) =D But yeah I was so stoned out my mind. Walked up at around 10pm. Hella cold outside, but as long as the line was moving, I knew I'd be warming up soon enough. Anyways so yeah I went to this party solo. I've cut all my friends thin to only the ones that are real about the music so no gf or anyone came with me. (and yeah as ya know me I rearly have a gf for too long. Hey I'm a gemini I get bored easyliy) But yeah got in, was happy cameras were allowed cause I enjoy taking pics as you all know also. OK so I got 2 drinks from the bar which cost me a total $20 so I said I will party absolutely absolutely sober then. I walked around, you know did my rounds to find people I knew, to feel the vibe and to checkout which room was jumping so I could get into the groove early. I found that room in the DnB area. Ruff!! Don't know who was spinning though. ANd when I walked out to the main floor and saw people out on the dancefloor rocking then I knew the party was starting to setoff. I found some of my NY peoples to hangout with, but I don't know, that night I just felt like rocking out by myself, so I went roaming around, found a hot spot and laided down massive dance moves. HELLA fun!! People were staring, girls were getting wet, doods tried to battle, pics were taken, you know the whole nine yards.
I guess I also had fun cause I hadn't been out to a really good big party since Oct. (Whistle), so it was good for my ass to get out.

Nicole, Jen, Eric, Greg, Brian you guys rule. I always like seeing you people who I can relate with at parties.

alphakry sorry I missed meeting up with you. Next time, and hell my pic 's on here. Look for me. Two key clues, first always look for me ON THE DANCEFLOOR. Second look for the dopest dancer out on the dancefloor that flows magnificantly & magically to the beats & sounds and that would be me. hahhaha, (not an ego thang %) *evil smile*:p ) Allot of people recognize me that way cause I am a dancer 1st. And that is my love for EDM. Because it moves my feet!!
But yeah next party, keep me posted.

Also shoutouts to Brooklyn & Jenn also. I wish we could have rocked out in a circle like we use to, **so dreamy** especially since we have similiar styles

And sorry to everyone if I was less conversational/not very talkative. Would I have been more conversational/talkative if I was on something...............maybe............but still I was so much more into dancing that night. I needed the music that night as my sustaining drug and it hit the spot. The partykid that is forever in me craves parties & dancing. And checking out the ladies.
Ooh my goodness, the hotness of partygirls **drools**!! So absolutely sexy, grrrr so many hotties, so many stares at me, so many stares from me, so many to chose, but I must chose wisely!! haha, but I love partygirls and there were many hotties and styling as only partygirls style with the way they dress to hair style and dance moves. **shivers** so sexy!! Sorry to drift on the ladies thang, but yeah that party was hella fun!!
And I took some good pics, I'll post them up on this thread in a couple of days. (and if anyone has pics, or links to sites of pics from this party, let me know) THANKS!!
Anyways I left around 3am. Was waiting on 2 more people to come, but couldn't stay, brotha-man had work. No worries, I woke up feeling hella good, I was also feeling hella tall too for some reason, but yeah I was not moody or down, just feeling somewhat brand new as if rust & cobb webs had been shaken off my body. SO yes I'm still forever loving EDM and parties.
Can't wait for the next big event. And for me thats the WMC & Ultra **drools**8o 8o 8o 8o "Ants in my pants" I am most definitely counting down the days. I can't wait for this party!!!!!!!!!

later


p.s. did I write too much????????? whatever you know you loved reading it!! ;) later people
 
lol suga... nice writeup.. i was laughing

ya, sucks we didn't meet up... i was looking for you - and thought i may of spotted you for a second,but then you were gone! i was chilling with about 8 of my friends, so i spent a lot of time with them - including a few first timers.

i'm feeling you on the "wow, i'm back into this and it feel great" thing... i'm definitely ready for the next one! i've been dancing to my ipod on the subways and just getting looks... i'm craving another night, for sure...
 
Was only there for about 3 hours. The music i was able to hear was awesome.. Donald glaude came down off stage to dance with me and my friends which was awesome. Dont know who noticed, but the members from System Of A Down were wandering around. Serge(the lead singer) did stay in the DJ booth most of the night, but i was lucky enough to engage in some good conversation with him. Over all i had alot of fun for the short period of time i was there, too bad i had to leave early.
 
Here are some pics i found.. im not in any(but some of my friends are) =(
