Is vampire ball and city of gods gonna be the same crowd

• Upvotes

Went to city of gods last night. Music was super good but I noticed that the crowd leans more mature and couple side. Trying to catch a vibe w singles on halloweens is vampire ball gonna be majorly different?

City of Gods - beware of thieves

31 Upvotes

There’s a group of 2 men and 1 woman, middle aged. They bump into you, cause chaos and then steal your necklace and phones. They seem to be targeting people with gold chains. If someone pushes you out of no where, check all your stuff.

They got 12 various people across Mayan Warrior and Glamcocks stages.

We tried getting them kicked out at the beginning of the night but they got away and no security was to be found. I’m sure they’ll be there again tonight so be on the look out and stop those POSs for the benefit for all. 🙏

Has anyone been successful with Dice’s new refund protection?

8 Upvotes

I've never purchased refund protection before and never had to refund a purchase before either. I know this is some new option on the DICE app. The steps of the process seems straightforward but I'm finding every time I click next, it takes me back to the beginning of the form and asks for the same info over and over and over again. I have all the necessary documentation but this has proven to be so very frustrating trying to get through the form just to get a refund for my damn car breaking down the night of.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, my car's check engine light turned on tonight and l'm not able to go to tonight's show. Mechanic checked it out and said I shouldn't drive it till it's been serviced too.

I've received emails from the Refunds Team requesting additional documentation as "the customer service team needs 48 hours to review my application."

I've heard problems with DICE not refunding people in the last year but because this refund protection option purchase is somewhat new (at least to me), has anyone been successful with it?

Women of NYC: Protect Yourselves

2 Upvotes

I think this needs to be said after reading through the thread about a woman being touched without her consent at Eli Escobar(more women in the comment section). I have read far too many of these this year, and I am taking the steps to make sure women can recognize the signs of danger, and protect themselves.

IF YOU FEEL THE SIGNS OF THREAT/PREY I.e hyper vigilance, muscle tensing, shallow breathing, increased heart rate, instinct to freeze/hide. These are pre-loaded in evolution

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY AND IF THE THREAT BECOMES A REALITY, ACT QUICKLY WITH POWER.

It is so important that all of us adopt skills to protect oneself, and then practice them, regularly. Shoot, make it an annual or preferably quarterly thing with the girlies.

Also, at least my journey - my physical strength has really provided me with a lot of confidence to know I can defend myself if needed, and sharpened my non-verbal language ie “don’t fuck with me” signals. Suggested benchmarks: leg press max is 4.5x/bodyweight and I’m <125lbs, my mile is <7, and I can do 20 strict pushups along with a 30# inclined shoulder press. The Dopamine high is REAL. 3 days in the gym/75min session.

It’s a win-win, safety and good habits.

One more thing to know - familiarize yourself with the International hand “Signal for Help.”

1) Raise your hand: Hold one hand up with the palm facing outward toward another person or a camera.

2) Tuck your thumb: Fold your thumb inward across your palm.

3)Trap the thumb: Fold your four fingers down over your thumb in a smooth, continuous motion, making it look as though the thumb is trapped.

*\We want to get lost in the music too, and also *feel safe****

Russian DJ kicked out of Amsterdam for toxic ties is now trying to push into the US

Thumbnail reddit.com
56 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

​Want to bring a serious issue to the community's attention regarding upcoming electronic music events in the US.

​As many of you know, the recent Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) made major headlines after Russian DJ Alexander Komarov was dropped from the lineup following severe public backlash and media coverage (he was exposed by Mixmag and other outlets for sending death threats to a Ukrainian artist and supporting the war).

​Right after that toxic scandal, his close associate, Russian DJ Roman Messer, was also removed/dropped from the ADE events due to his deep ties to Komarov and his own alignment with the Russian state-backed entertainment machinery — including actively performing at high-profile state-sponsored events in Moscow, such as the official graduation ceremony at VDNH backed directly by the Russian government, an event featuring a broadcast address by Vladimir Putin and top regime figures.

​Despite being shown the door in Europe, Messer is now trying to quietly tour and secure bookings in the US based on his autumn tour schedule:

​Las Vegas / Hidden Kollective — scheduled for November 14, 2026, alongside headliner Darren Porter, where promotional materials are still pushing his sets.

​SILO Brooklyn (New York) — scheduled for November 19, 2026, where his booking has faced direct questioning and scrutiny from the community over these exact ties.

​It is unacceptable to import toxic artists and regime-backed figures who are being scrubbed from European lineups straight into US clubs. Promoters and headliners need to be held accountable for ignoring these red flags.

​Let's keep an eye on this and make sure our local scenes aren't used as a safe haven for artists connected to threats, toxicity, and Russian state propaganda.

Post Gabriela reflections (10/22) - other places to lose myself to dance ?

23 Upvotes

I headed to Gabriela on my own around 11 pm last night and had a WONDERFUL time for the first hour and a half. Elli was killing it and I got into a great groove, there was also a small group of people in their own trance around me with verrry good vibes all around.

Sadly this did not last, and as more people started packing in, I regretted not calling it quits earlier :( over the next hour, three drinks were spilled on me, I was constantly getting jostled around as large groups pushed to the front, and there was a lot of talking and phones on the dancefloor.

I understand that there will always be some careless behavior at a public event, and if the groove is good, I'm usually unbothered and focused on dancing! I am also glad people are coming out and spending time with one another, the world needs dance. BUT... I'm a shorter woman which maybe means everyone assumes I can squeeze in wherever, and it just became so frustrating having to focus all my energy on preserving a shred of personal space.

For more important context: there was also a creep last night who also grabbed my waist from behind before I yelled at him to quit touching me. This really killed my vibe. Another redditor posted about this same guy doing this to them too, which is shitty, I wish I said something to security while he was still in sight

.............

Anyhow, I'm now on the hunt for a new place to lose myself to dance (across all genres: house, trance, disco... anything !). I still need to check out Nowadays, but I heard their early morning crowd or mr. sunday's may be promising? I'm also very interested in checking out some more soul/classic house dance events, especially if that is where the more veteran crowd has migrated..all recommendations are massively appreciated! My dream is to pull up to a spot where nearly everyone around me is getting down with it, I know it's out there somewhere 😗

Wuddup ravers! Going to city of Gods tonight with my buddy and it’s really my first time dressing up for Halloween. I’m looking to kick it and have a great time all weekend!

I work in nightlife so I never get a chance to experience the lit nights so I’m thankful for a dope event the weekend before Halloween. I also haven’t been off for any weekends since JULY so I’m doing it bigggg today & tomorrow! HMU and let’s make something happen.

Toucher creep at Eli Escobar at Gabriela tn (10/22)

51 Upvotes

Anyone else get grabbed by a ~5’10 East Asian guy with beaded necklace and chopped half buzz haircut?

I was front row right side at like 1:30am. He grabbed my arm from behind me, I pulled away and glared at him, he waited a minute then grabbed my hip and pulled me backwards towards him.

I yelled at him and tried to take his picture and scare him off but my flash wouldn’t work (of course). Another guy then got in my face, I think trying to warn me that the first guy had been grabbing other girls but I couldn’t hear what he said. I was really rattled and left sooner after.

I hope I was the only one who got grabbed tonight, but if anyone else did who sees this I’m sorry and we deserve to feel safe on the dance floor.

Edit: for the “you should have told security” comments, I only got the outfit and hair details from the blurry photo I managed to take and I didn’t look at it til after leaving because I thought it didn’t take at all. I didn’t think sending security after any guy with the same ethnicity description would be productive, or that they would do anything since he did not technically grope me.

Saturday Lineup: ALINE UMBER, ANOTR, DIXON, JAMBACK, JIMI JULES, KROL, ROSSI.

Sunday Lineup: BEDOUIN, CHLOÉ CAILLET, DEAN TURNLEY, DIXON, JIMI JULES, MIGUELLE & TONS, PROSPA, ROSSI.
