"2"^^ . . "what's sad about this is that based on my standards for what this place is, i would have given it a 3. i was briefed by a friend about the downstairs and i could not wait to check it out for myself. after many experiences in plenty of crowded, sweaty club-like environments, this one just did not do for me what i wanted, and there is one reason.\n\nthe dj sucked. i know, going into a place like this, that the drinks are going to be expensive for the actual liquor to mixer ratio, that there are going to be people cruising each other all over the place, and that 21 year olds will probably be throwing up in the bathroom pretty early, but COME ON, at least let me hear my jams in full.\n\nwhat kept happening is that something would play that i love to dance to in a club - jay-z, 50 cent, snoop, what have you - and suddenly 30 seconds to a minute and a half later, it would switch to something else entirely, usually in a totally different genre, usually with a bad transition. while i love eric prydz' \"call on me\", i don't want to hear it jammed in between a techno remix of \"don't stop believin\" that only the kids from the jersey shore could love, and \"gin and juice.\" \n\nif i had a bit less blood in my alcohol system and possibly my bff partner in crime who loves to go to places like this, it probably would have been much more hilarious to me. i may try this again, hopefully i won't still feel the need to body check the dj out of the way to make sure a song plays in its entirety."^^ .
