This was my first time at the Van Buren. The music options were great, but I would have liked the music to be mixed and mashed more. Getting tickets and getting in was a breeze.
Had a lot of fun and House of Blues was a great venue to host the event! My only thing was that it was only 9pm-12am, that's pretty early to end for a night in the city, I know house of blues has hosted things later. I would say that is my only real critique, it should go till 1am OR if anything let people know when the event ends.
Amazing b-day night! Music for everyone from every popular genre at the time.
Music was catered to the younger crowd. It was very crowded. The drinks were ridiculously overpriced and watered down. The bathroom was disgusting. The DJ was fun, but the music he played was not early 2000s. It was all 2010s and later.
I didn’t like it the djs were trash I spent $30 for nothing really. The music was all white girl 2000s where’s the color?!!
Early 2000s means music from 2000-2004/5 and maybe some stuff from the late 90s bc that music was still trending in the charts at the time…. They were playing music from the 2010s- which is still fun music don’t get me wrong, but I definitely felt like I was falsely advertised to :/ I came dressed giving Destiny’s Child but the vibes were very much Fifth Harmony- wrong decade. I get that it was an 18+ event but next time I would just call a spade a spade and name the event something like 2010s night bc I felt suuuper out of place :(
The vibe was there but the tracklist and transitions were very disappointing. The DJ had great energy, the set just wasnt up to snuff
It was really fun at first, but after a couple of hours, the songs were mainly only 2010s songs and I was disappointed that there weren’t more 2000s tv intro songs.
The energy of the crowd was so amazing and showed no signs of slowing down. All through the night the crowed was amped and ready.
The vibes energy setlist everything was on point. It was so amazing. What’s more, club 90’s la on Instagram was so responsive to my dm and actually gave my best friend a shoutout on her literal birthday when we went!! They brought her on stage and we had the besttttttt time. Thank you so much.
