Just got the news about that... since I'll be immersed in Deep Dish on Saturday, I may well get a dose tomorrow, err, within the next 20-some hours!

DT Athens CD1... I miss Vinyl like mad...

Whoa.... Looks like someone isn't reading the second page of the thread before posting a reply, too.... me, admittedly!

I was wondering about that silver spoon, too! That's one of several loose ends that I can't make sense out of... A really good review is in The Miami Herald by Rene Rodriguez: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/entertainment/special_packages/matrix/reviews/5854045.htm . He is pretty much right on - too much talking, a few loose ends, simply not as tight as the first one, although overall still a good film. I will go to see it again for three reasons: a) we had shitty seats I want to see the trailer for Revolutions as we left too early, and most importantly, c) being a perfectionist, I appreciate their meticulous special effects work so much... I look at it from the technical perspective, and must say, these sp. effects are second to none... they raised the bar once again! P.S. The scene with many Agent Smiths WAS too long, not by much, maybe by a minute - too many shipments of Agent Smiths in there, could have gotten a point across with fewer Smiths, and then actually the fighting shots would have been more clear.

How late does Maze go on Fridays? Afterhours? I only get off work at 5:30...

1. No. 2. No.

Might have something to do with the 50 cent's concert in Bayside - the afterparties were on the Beach. I see it as the cops are trying to keep the hip-hoppers, thugs, etc. off the beach; similar stuff happened over springbreak - Miami Beach's finest were out in full effect on the beach chasing students with beer coolers, whereas normally they'd not care... I guess it can be a safety-promoting measure of some type, I just don't agree with the concept of selectively coming down on a specific group... who's to say that tomorrow some bigwig living in the Continuum penthouse won't sway the cops to chase out the clubbers... oh, forgot, looks like he already has!

Hey Steve! Long time no post for me... From what I heard, *new* liquor licenses will be limited to 2 am. Existing 5 am licenses are cool and can be grandfathered, so unless the club fucks up and has it revoked and has to reapply, they can serve up until 5 am. This of course has potential for abuse by the city - wielding the threat of revoking the license over something silly and forcing the clubs to reapply, the city can go on twisting a lot of arms in a lot of ways. Kinda like NYC under Guiliani... Whether this is true at least partly or entirely, I don't know. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Attomic - you're right about the hip-hoppers. We'll probably sell more Hennessy over Memorial Day weekend than the rest of the year combined.

Truth be told, I see the Crobars and the Opium Gardens of the beach as more interested in selling $500 bottles of liquor to table parties than throwing late-night music-oriented events...

Are you referring to the new 2 am last call thing? As far as I know, that was brought on by the condo residents and developers... although they might be slicing their own rope by killing the nightlife on the beach - without it, the popularity will decline and their own real estate investments may lose value...

I've done that... since ephedrine is a stimulant, I wasn't getting the expected buzz from the drinks, so I drank more... and when ephedrine let go, I was a total drunk dehydrated mess... Because I'm stupid, I've repeated the experience, these times knowing to exercise moderation, and it was actually kind of fun...

If you're talking about a sketchy character in a black vest and orange pants... that was me, returning to clubbing after a long hiatus! Some of yous may remember me from the vip board in NYC, where I was/am west_on_46th...

There's a joke along those lines... A guy and a girl on the first date are kissing and petting and the girl asks, "What are you doing with your hands on my back? Are you looking for something?" "Your breasts", the guy replies. "They are on the other side." "I've already looked there..."

Clearly tall thin girls rock! Just look at Miss Universe!

NO! This may seem a strange vote from a guy but I've had some sessions that I couldn't wait to get to the end of.
