Comments on: Shake It! is coming…This Saturday http://www.shakeitlondon.com/2009/03/news/hello-world/ Fri, 13 Aug 2010 11:22:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: jono http://www.shakeitlondon.com/2009/03/news/hello-world/comment-page-1/#comment-101 jono Sat, 14 Mar 2009 15:18:53 +0000 http://www.shakeitlondon.com/?p=1#comment-101 ah i was only drinking vodka redbulls or vodka lemonades at two tokens each = 4 quid... weren't the tokens 2quid each, therefore red stripe was 4quid too? bottles in fabric and matter were 4.50 until recently when they seem to have come back down to 3.90, so the price is on a par with other clubs. i would have thought there was free water supplied, thats not good at all. i did hear they'd ran out of water bottles in the last hour or so of the night but would have thought they would still be able to give out free water from somewhere... i'd forgotten about the pool of pee around the mens urinals where they'd overflown, yeah that wasn't good :-( i started using other ones when i saw that. i thought the sound in both rooms was great... loud, clear and no ringing ears the next day. not sure why sax_eddie has said the organisation was poor, we only queued to get in for about 10mins (altho we didnt get there til 1.30ish) and i didnt think it was overcrowded either, i've been way more cramped and pushed around in the end which was consequently never a favourite of mine at all... i don't really think there's any atmosphere in matter at all, can't really compare the two, its like a stadium club for stadium events. ah i was only drinking vodka redbulls or vodka lemonades at two tokens each = 4 quid… weren’t the tokens 2quid each, therefore red stripe was 4quid too? bottles in fabric and matter were 4.50 until recently when they seem to have come back down to 3.90, so the price is on a par with other clubs.

A few things would make it a lot better though: - sound wasn't great - it needs more speakers all around (especially the back of the main room). It also then wouldn't need to be so crazy loud at the front. Sound seemed much better in the L&B room. - too packed in the L&B room, needs a bigger space. - getting in took ages even with tickets. - getting coats back took ages, seemed very disorganized. - bar in the first room (not sure about the other) had run out of water by 5am. (oh and there wasn't any gin for sale at any time!) Good night, especially L&B, and it’s great to see a new club night appearing. A few things would make it a lot better though:

More likely a retirement fund in the making.. NO FREE WATER – dangerous

portaloos – messy

organization – poor

overcrowded

This is unfortunately not The End, and never will be.

More likely a retirement fund in the making..

Over priced and over rated. Layo and bushwaka were good but the sound was not all that and there room was to packed to enjoy. As for Mr garnier well his mixing could of been better as well as his slightly cheesey set. Not that impressed really. Matter was £18 the week before. Better lighting quicker bar and you didn't have to stand in a puddle of piss to go to the loo!
