no bottle service no vip
Dj Shamann 8:50 PM - 19 November, 2009
I don't have an issue with VIP, but bottle service really fucked up the scene.
DJ Benny B NYC 8:55 PM - 19 November, 2009
every club that has good owners with a good vision, good managers and enough money to do what they want is going to be great. the problem is, people start places and things go wrong. either they are idiots to start out with, or the fact that they don't have enough money or stress/drugs makes them do idiotic things.

Clubs would shape their clientele, not vice versa.

sidenote:
You knew that was the Techno club, and that the Hip-Hop club was down the street. No surprises, security secured, GM's managed, promoter's promoted, and DJ's deejayed.

I knew when I went to Vegas and wanted hip-hop I took myself over to S.R.O.
If I wanted diversity then I knew also where to go.

No more carpet. When these drunks puke, piss, crap, spill a drink and drop their smokes it makes the carpet smell and look nasty. Hardwood (lol) or marble or just plain old stained cement IMO

Ghetto thugs in the club who still dress like they are in high school or think that they can dress like (insert hip hop artist name here)' just because they saw (insert hip hop artist name here)'s video....... grow up homie..

Bartendars who are rude to everyone just cuz some cheap ass thug who still dresses like he is in high school doesn't tip.

DJ's who play the same thing the guy right before them played (no wait, i like that cuz im a more then one genre DJ and I get booked for it) LOL...

GoGo dancers who need to shed a few more pounds.
GoGo dancers who think they can promote their own events cuz they dance at a club.

People who think they are promoters simply because they go out every night of the week and hang out with REAL promoters.

Promoters who promote more then one place when they don't have enough of a following and have 3 weak spots instead of 1 good event.

(sorry im venting and playing devil's advocate!) Happy Friday Serato Fam!!!

What is the point of gogo dancers anyways? I always thought it cheapened the night.

eliminate the club scene, bring back the flyer,charge 5 bucks @ the door house parties
Joshua Carl 9:19 PM - 20 November, 2009
what if they started HEAVILY taxing internet usage...

especially that kind was someone how connected to your income?

so if you did a promo mix, every person who downloaded it you'd have to pay $
for traffic that is bringing money your way indirectly.

and all the promoters who LIVE by social networking get slammed with fees.

what a backlash we'd see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All promoters should be working directly for the club and aren't in charge of hiring dj's. Club management should.
