Beta Nightclub (http://www.betanightclub.com) is a few blocks from my
loft (Beta is at 19th and Blake in Denver). The space was formerly
called Rise and was a latin dance music club. Sadly, the space is in
the center of what I call frat row. I went to Rise a few times with
friends and it was just that - frat boys with booty-dancing women.
I'm betting Beta will take about 6 months to get off the ground and
nail its target market. For the early days, I bet the same frat boys
looking to get laid will frequent the place --even though $15/nightly
cover will deter them a bit.
Tonight's the Z-Trip VIP opening night. And Saturday is the Steve Bug
opening night ($25). Tempting to head down, but I'm cautious that
beyond the cover, the (probably) expensive drinks will keep me away,
sadly.
I really hope it takes off, but by the time it doesI'll be gone.

You can vote on the Beatport awards at
http://www.beatportal.com/awards -- it's mostly kind of Detroit
un-friendly, and the whole idea of 'best hard house producer' is kind
of like 'kindest murderer' as a category, but there's a couple of
categories you can vote for 313-lister Chymera (Brendan Gregoriy) who
is a good guy in addition to being an ace producer in the techno vein.
In other Beatporty news, they're opening a new club in Denver near
their office. For what it's worth. It might be cool if they do some
decent techno nights ...
