    i bet if miami2night was to put up a message forum it success will blow CJ away because they are not club celebrity status bias they are out in the scene mingling takin pics of everyone

    Therein lies their flaw, aside from bad web design, bad english, and horrid images shot with a camera phone.

    Do people care where I go? You'd be surprised. Maybe you don't since I don't have a weekly ticket to New York or Detroit (but ya know, I have people shooting galleries in New York and Detroit...check them out sometime), but you'd be surprised, the first question I get asked when a lot of people see me is

    "hey pod, where were you tonight?" (yes, they say pod...it's really strange)

    "I was at Club XYZ"

    "Really? Man, wish I coulda went, oh well, I'll see your photos of it on Monday!"

    I take a lot more images than I put up. I edit heavily. I'll shoot 3-400 images a night, and maybe put up 50. Capturing an image doesn't guarantee posting. I'm not striving to put up 382053450734574233 images per event. Unfortunately they are because of the model by which their "photographers" (and I use the term loosely) are paid.

    Thanks!

    Well, ya see, I'm not out to capture every face in the crowd, if it helps, think of my galleries as more of a log of where I go and what I do in an evening...and yeah a lot of the same people pop up, but also there's a few new "faces in the crowd" ...

    It was a slow weekend this past one though...Dennis saw to that. I spent Friday with Jack, José, and the Wild Turkey.

    You should finance food, education and medicine :)

    I'd like to but where's the fun in that. I want 10,000 people clutching AK-47s chanting *¡Viva Pod!

    I remember him. Good people. Finally, someone answers my question. My whole issue with the festival was that other than this lineup, the details were sketchy.

    I guess I'm just naturally suspect of 99 percent of anything that happens in this scen.

    I can't stand it when people just linger in stairwells and walkways. Most of the time I usually squeeze by, but one time I just yelled out "make a hole!" and people got the hell out of my way.

    One problem I do see though all over is that a significant minority of people have forgotten how to have fun. You've got your VIP folk who are out to be seen, and then you've got your trainspotting folk who are there to bug the DJ all night and write down entire setlists. Or even worse, the people who must be suckers for punishment and go out even though they're not too fond of the DJ or club...but yet they are out on the scene every weekend it seems.

    I go out because it is in my job description, I've been out almost every weekend for the past six years, but I still manage to have fun. Sure there's varying degrees of it, but overall, I say I come home at least knowing I enjoyed the evening. Maybe it is because I'm not too picky about music. As long as it's some form of dance music, I'm generally happy. I mean, I draw the line at like going to Cafe Iguana or something, but in general, I'm happy at crobar, Space, Amika, Nocturnal, or even Mansion.

    Sure the clubs have their issues, but that is why you tell them what the issues are, in a civil manner. Drunk and yelling at the doorman isn't gonna get you anywhere, and picking a fight with the biggest bouncer in the joint isn't either. I tell all my friends if they ever have an issue (excepting something like an injury or criminal happening), the best idea is to call the club up during office hours, most clubs office hours are Tuesday- Friday from like 10 - 6.

    What it really comes down to is to stop worrying so damn much about things and grab a drink.
