good clubs on saturday night?

[Grapes]

Since no-one's really answered your question about Lotus Saturdays..

Assuming it's still the same night as when I left, it's Deepen. Run by Vernon, it's a night of tech house with a very cool but not at all stuck up crowd. I've had some really good times there, but for some reason it's always hard to convince friends to go (usually because of something more flashy like red room or similar)...

A night for people who really really REALLY like the music. As evidenced by the fact that a lot of them are well into their 30s but still love to come to Deepen and get their groove on.

the Arch, now called Gecko Club, is on... uh... I wanna say Richards but I'm pretty sure it's not...... It's up the street next to Pigeon Park (the one that's not Cambie that dead-ends on the Amsterdam Cafe) just off Pender. Looks like a giant Sobe symbol on the window.

Saturday Nights are also good for The Affair, which used to be at the Marble Arch but now are at that bar at the Vancouver Public Library downtown. Crowd's okay but the music's always killer (Trevor Risk = currently one of the best DJ's in Vancouver, IMO).

^hehe, thanks for finally answering my question! (for grapes)

yeah, red room is not my crowd at all. love the music there. nicky delgado rocks...but the people and the club are freakin' annoying.

Well I'll be damned. So much for that idea, Jake.

I highly recommend checking this night out before it's gone (7 years running!).. if I was in town I'd mos def be heading down on June 10th to see them go out with a bang.

Vernon does a much better job of describing his night than I did, btw.

I've had a blast at The Affair..

They movied it?!

Dammit, when I get back is anything going to be the same??

You really can't go home again...

Yes it is, homeboy.

Richards and Pender.

My first memory of the Affair (and I do say "memory", non-plural, intentionally) is my birthday last year... after Fetish Lite a bunch of us hit up The Affair for more boozin'. I recall The Faint being played, which has its own subtle ironies.

My second memory of the Affair (note again, the use of the singular) was the first night I moved back to Vancouver and was staying in a hotel room that my company put me up in for a few weeks. Farshad was over within three hours of me checking in with a 26er of Smirnoff. I remember us polishing that off before we hit the town and little else of that night. I remember the Arch briefly, I heard we were at the redroom, and I recall bumping into Jess, Myra and you, Dave, at Spanish Banks later on in the evening. I recall little else of the evening. What a "Welcome Home". =)

I always have the same problem!! I love the music at lotus and I always meet nice people there but my friends dont like the actual club itself, they say it is to dirty.

Hah. It's all about the dank. The dank was one of my 10 reasons I love the Lotus, a thread that netted like 400 replies on Clubvibes.

.. most of them positive :)
