OK, in all seriousness... I think it's just a wee wittle bit ironic that everyone's like "you're too stupid to do it" when 95% of the people I've worked with in this industry could be outsmarted by the average lab mouse. I mean, all due respect to his success and all, but David Marvisi is not exactly the brightest candle in the chandelier and yet he's been enormously successful in what he does. My word of caution to you, weed, would be that you not end up in that same situation as he is where the clubs he runs, though very popular, remain poorly managed and loathed by the clubbing sapienze. You say you want to revive the club scene 'cause we all say it's been dead for so long. Make sure you don't fall into the trap everyone else does then. More: *If you're 17 I assume that you mean yuo've been accepted to NYU and will be taking classes there next year. If that's true, be aware that your workload will be enormous at least by sophomore year if not by freshman year, and that you will not have anywhere near the amount of time you need to run a business. *You need to gather experience. You asked for advice - here it is. For the next 4 years, while you are in college, go to as many clubs and see as many DJ's as you possibly can - and I mean go to clubs in NY, and outside NY, go to Miami, Montreal, Chicago, Detroit, DC (lounge scene there is great!! learn about it!), and go abroad - Check out London, Manchester, Sheffield, and go to Germany, Amsterdam go see Sensation, go to France and go to Italy to see how cheesy the clubs I'm gonna be stuck going to are, and then use that experience to really make the best club you possibly can, knowing what to emulate and what to avoid. *After all this is done, consult with the following: investors - because I doubt you have hundreds of millions of dollars in capital available (if you don't, you'll need it - just check listings for real estate in NYC and for the price of sound systems, DJ equipment, etc), an architect, designers, sound specialists, and of course, a real estate agent. I am not going to put down your question because I believe that everyone needs to chase their dreams, and if this is yours, then go for it, but understand that money doesn't buy everything and the experience will open doors you can't even see right now. Good luck.
