He said the shutdown affected the J, M, and Z subway lines between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Police had no further information on the incident at the bridge. Earlier, a suspicious package found at the 79th Street Broadway station disrupted subway service for about an hour. Transit spokesman James Anyansi said the package was found at 7:11 a.m. The suspensions began at 8:18 a.m. and ended at 9:05 a.m. The 1, 2, 3, and 9 trains were affected.

First time to this place called Trust, had a pretty good time there. Music was pretty good(mostly hip hop), crowd was friendly... however, definitely a huge asian presence there. waited in line forever.. didn't know trust was actually two places.. so we checked in our jackets in one place and waited out in the cold to get into the other place.. kinda dumb.. it was still packed up until 3:00am and going strong.. gotta go back and check out some of the other places on that block..

Went out to this new club/lounge/restaurant called BLVD on Bowery next to Mission. Pretty big place, two floors and a big VIP section in the back. Got there around 11:30ish, place was beginning to pack out, mostly guys though. Downstair there was some kind of live band going on that was horrible in my opinion, killed the vibe. upstair they just had this CD playing.. about 1:00, they had dj's come on both floors, hip hop/ reggae both floors.. interesting crowd.. not very diverse, mostly the yuppy crowd? pretty friendly vibe though.. anybody been there?

In my humble opinion... Clubs is definitely a service oriented business. Which means that you need to make your guests happy. So different clubs have different types of guests and needs. Figure out what type of guests you are trying to target. (The guest type you are targeting should be broad enough to fill your club) No matter what though, it should be about making the people, the crowd come together to have a good ass time. Clubbing is an experience for most people. They go out because they want an "adventure," a experience and clubs need to focus on that throught the ENTIRE evening/morning/afternoon. Moreover, the DJ's, bartenders, performers, dancers, general staff employees all need to work together towards a "business vision" so guests will feel the vibe. The staff also needs to be happy. Happy staff = happy crowd. Pissed off staff = pissed off crowd. Consistancy is also another key factor... guests come back because they know they will have a good time at this place.. or that place. So it's important to keep it consistant every night, as well as throughout the ENTIRE night. Well that's my 2 cents.. very general i know.. but i think it's important.

and a quick movie

hello i've been out of the scene for a while, but i'm a great pvd fan. just wondering like ichiroboston what events if any are going on after the set? btw.. i hear there supposed to be some major lazer action for visuals =)

yea, shut da fuq up

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY... This is what reminds ME of exit... :laugh:

Just curious... with the recent bomb attack in Bali, 180 people burned beyond recognition and all.. anybody giving any second thoughts?

not too bad.. sorta reminds me of the riverdance...

anybody thinkin of wearing shorts?

it's so sad that the only reason people are going to this is for a roll. the place is going to be crowded you can't move. the music will only last 4 hrs. plus, pvd hasn't even been spinning that great from what i hear at sf last time. his skills was much better a few years back. the place is going to be so crowded you can't dance. so basically... people are shelling out 50 bucks to sit in a dark corner with nowhere to dance or go, with a below par sound system... to get high...

That's right baby... Though I still prefer asian females over them ugly white chicks. oh well..

YessSs!! It's on baby. See you all in DC!! It's going to be off the hook...
