The owner of exit isnt a crook hes a very very very good business man... no matter how much you bitch and moan people will come back to exit, people will pay the door cover, people will groan about how hes such a crook... but buttom line hes the one stuffing ur money in his back pocket so my hat goes off the mr. Maravesi (Spelling?) because he successfully plays NYC like a harp... i dont mean this to be demeaning but if you dont like it, you dont go... someone will happily take over the 1x1' dancing space that could have been yours. And the loss he incurs from you not paying 50$ is QUICKLY overshadowed by the other 7000 patrons (Tiesto 2nd time around) that WILL pay his cover charge.
