Cool article but Amika made the list? Does anyone still go there? And when was the last time they booked a top notch DJ?

I guess clubs figure that by appealing to the ghetto bling bling crowd they'll get the bottle buying crowd. Unfortunately you also bring in an unsavory element and the people that actually live in South Beach (like myself) stop frequenting the local clubs on Washington.

It's infested with the Ghetto crowd now.

What makes you think that Junior Vasquez and Jonathan Peters will be residents there?

Those assholes need to get a fucking life.

Pitbull is my hero.................NOT!!!!!! I'm not into the whole Latin hip-hop/reggaeton scene but even I can tell that he sucks. I find it even more amusing that he put out that "celebratory" song and Raul Castro is in power. Talk about bad timing.

Sirius with Area 33 is way better than the System on XM. Plus you get Howard Stern and I must admit I love listening to Hair Nation for Motley Crue, Def Leppard, etc.

Hey she was legal. No big deal.

In March we have the Winter Music Conference so they might be playing there but Daft Punk will be at the Bang Music Festival in November.

LOL!!!!!!

Am I out of it? That was my first time seeing that. Fucking hilarious.

Cool, Victor Calderone is awesome but with it being Labor Day weekend I might be out of town.

hahaha LOL I think I got a Che Guevara shirt somewhere in my closet

I'm just waiting for these thugs to take it to the next level. Hip-hop suicide bombings-In the name of 50 Cent I will destroy all of the non-believers of the G Unit Crew!

You got that right!!!!!!!!!!! Italia forever.

go Italia but I do wonder what that player could have said to Zidane to set him off like that?

I doubt if we'd be able to get his own wife to give him a blowjob.

LOL! I also wonder they if they'll have Colt 45 on tap up there.

Actually the latest update is that these weapons are from the Iran-Iraq war from back in the day. Does anybody remember who the USA supported in that war? Yup good old Saddam. We knew he was using chemical weapons back then but since it was against the Iranians nobody cared. In my opinion this recent find is too little...too late. And no I'm not a raving, raging left winger. I just want the government to be more honest and competent. Is that too much to ask for?

I'd also like to see the Iraqis get on their feet but come on. Let's call a spade a spade. If Iraq would not have had a drop of oil we would not have sent troops there. Yes I know Saddam was a nasty guy but our planet has plenty of nasty dictators all over the world. If we're going to start taking dictators out of power then why don't start with the Fidel Castro? He's close by, been a pain in the ass since the 60's, killed lots of people. Or the Saudi royal family? Or the military dictatorship in Burma?

How pathetic.

I agree!

Is anyone surprised? 1 killed in nightclub melee Shots rang out and a man was stabbed to death as mayhem ensued at a downtown Miami nightclub. Two others were hurt.

PETER ANDREW BOSCH/MIAMI HERALD STAFF CLUB METROPOLIS: Police suspect an argument in the back of the club sparked gunfire, triggering a stampede. More photos * CBS4 video | Fatal stabbing in Miami kills 22-year-old An all-night hip-hop party at downtown Miami's Club Metropolis turned into pandemonium early Monday, as shots were fired inside, sending a torrent of club-goers scrambling for the door. Inside, one man who had been stabbed to death lay on the floor. Another had been shot in the thigh, and a third man's leg was grazed by a bullet. The melee sent more than 1,100 partyers fleeing toward the parking lot. ''It was mass chaos out there,'' said Ignatius Carroll, a spokesman for Miami fire rescue. Roger Hall, 22, of Richmond Heights was killed in the ruckus, which erupted around 4 a.m. while a rap artist was still performing on stage at the club, 950 NE Second Ave. A one-time star quarterback at Southridge High and the father of a 2-year-old boy, Hall worked with his father and brother at a South Dade roofing company. He and his father, Roger Hall Sr., had watched golf on Sunday and talked over Red Lobster takeout -- which they took turns paying for each pay day. Then Hall headed out for the night in his brother's car. As the sun set Monday, dozens of family members and friends gathered on the lawn outside the family's home, with few clues about what happened inside Club Metropolis. ''My son is dead, and I don't know why,'' said Roger Hall Sr., 59. Lee Fowner, 22, of the Fontainebleau area, had surgery for his gunshot injury at Jackson Memorial Hospital and was in stable condition, authorities said. And 26-year-old Coconut Grove resident Ijamyn Gray, who said he was left bleeding when a bullet grazed his right shin, was treated at the hospital and released. ''There are so many different stories, I don't realy know what happened,'' Gray said from his front porch Monday night, after being interviewed by police for three hours. ``Once they heard the shot, everyone took off. I tried to get up and out of the way and I saw the blood on my sock. Everyone was screaming and trying to get the hell out.'' Police suspect an argument in the back of the club -- where a ''Memorial Day College Block Party'' was under way -- sparked the gunfire. Police do not know how many shots were fired or who had a gun, Moss said. No weapons were found inside the club. ''We really don't know what happened at this point,'' Moss said, adding that police hope to glean a clearer picture from interviews with witnesses and employees. ``We're also hoping that some of those people who were at the club, if they saw something that will help us, that they'll give us a call.'' One partyer, Liane Vasserot, said she was in the main room, Prophecy, one of five themed ''nightclubs'' inside the 35,000-square-foot club, when she heard the gunshots. ''There was a fight. There was a shooting. We heard it,'' she said. ``It was so crowded inside, all you saw was a commotion. . . . It was a mob scene.'' Representatives for Metropolis estimated the crowd at about 1,100, police said, but authorities put that number at close to or above its 2,000-person capacity. ''The club capacity, talking to the owner, showed about 2,000 people, but there had to be more than that in the club,'' said Carroll, who added that masses of people were spilling out into the parking lot and an area across the street. ''That whole block was just filled with people,'' he said. According to the city of Miami's website, the club has been cited for failing to have a valid occupational license and a certificate of use. The cases are still open, the site said. Because Monday was a holiday, city spokeswoman Kelly Penton said she could not reach any code enforcement officials for comment. The club's owners also could not be reached for comment. Six off-duty officers were hired by the club, handling parking and crowd control outside the building, Moss said. Metal detectors used by security at the door were running low on batteries, he added, which may be why someone was able to enter undetected with a gun. The Memorial Day festivities were set to wrap up at 5 a.m., with an after-hours party to follow elsewhere in the building. Police ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.

that is too funny!

Edgar V at Blue? It'll be interesting to see him in an intimate venue like that.
