I guess the Pangaea people have never heard of SXSW.

Not to be a dick, but I cannot wait for this club to fail.

The Link

“Now Pangaea will teach Austin how to party with class at a live music venue!” says the press release.

“All badge holders are welcome, but please note dress code is strictly enforced. (Hint: no broke people in t-shirts or dirty converse (sic) please!) The dress code also applies for country shows, this is not the Broken Spoke!”

Last time I checked, almost every badge holder is in a T-shirt and Converse; it’s usually really hot that time of year. Hasn’t Pangaea ever participated in SXSW? Oh, wait. No, they haven’t.

Anyway, let’s continue with the press release:

“To ensure the quality of the guests and VIP experience, Pangaea will not sell any single admission tickets and limit wristband entry. Don’t have a badge? Reserve a table ($300 bottle minimum) and get on the private Pangaea guest list! Badge holders meeting dress code will get first priority in line, but Pangaea bottle patrons get guarranteed (sic) admission regardless. Call or email to reserve your table today!”

So let’s get this straight — it is theoretically possible for this venue to be sold out without any badge holders getting in at all. And most of the badge holders will not be allowed in, given the way most badge holders dress. And it’s an official SXSW venue.
 
Screw them. If it fails, they deserve it. If not, it'll suck some d-bags away from other places where I might be.
 
So they open up Weds with one of the cities best song writers in Bruce Robinson. Can you envision any of his fans dressing up and buying a $300 bottle of wine? This place needs to get over itself and move to Dallas where it belongs.

I don't do clubs. Haven't done so in many many years. I am an old married guy, and am more likely to hoist a few with friends at the Little Longhorn. But even I can spot such a brightly lit neon sign pointing the way to Hell.

Pangea? Was the name "House of Douchebags" taken? I have NO idea where this place belongs, but at the top of that list would be "not Austin."

The Bruce Robison I know sits next to me at Phil's Ice House and shoots the breeze while our kids run around and play. He sips a beer and relaxes. He dresses like ****. He writes damn fine music. He is that anti-Pangea.

One can only hope that places like this eventually are sucked into a singularity of shiny-shirted, hair-gelled self-importance, disappearing from our universe once and for all.

I would rather spend a weekend in College Station than a minute in Pangea. At least they sell longnecks in College Station.
 
I bet the SXSW organizers chewed them a new one. First, they aren't allowed to sell exclusive seating to joe-blow off the street and restrict the number of wristband holders. First priority is badgeholders and then wristbands. Any excess capacity is then available for the general public.

I really wanted to see Blue Mountain but I can't believe they are stuck playing this place. I have a hard time giving this bar any of my money. I hope they play some day shows.
 
My god, this place must be filled with unparalleled levels of douchebaggery. I'd like someone who actually frequents the joint to step up to the podium and extol its virtues. Educate me.

Digitalism plays at Pangaea on saturday night.

That's one I wanted to see. I've got a decision to make

if you think about it, Pangaea ****** itself. There is no way in hell they will make the money they are used to on a Fri and Sat night as a sxsw venue. Their normal crowd buys liquor and reserves tables. SXSW people drink beer. Their sales those 2 nights are going to blow.
 
i hope that place burns down.
is this the place with sharks? i hope they burn to death too. just for being sharks in a club.
 
that's Qua

and I don't get the hate for a place that you don't even go to. I don't go either (but I did go on opening night), but that place being open affects me none.
 
When people grow up , they realize they do not need these theme park exclusive places. Go get a beer at Gingerman or go to the Elephant Room to hear some jazz. You do not need a ******* jungle theme or some place with sharks.

People who go to these places are straight up posers.
 
Unpainted - Honestly, I like management and I know several of the bottle service chicks. Its the door guys who annoy the **** out of me. And its not even the way I'm treated, its just the random **** they say/do. If Pangaea would import some doorguys who knew how to be bottle service club doorguys I would like the club a lot more.
