oops double post...

I disagree on the dj's drug use being responsible for the crowds...artists have always been fucked up. Tons of dj's are when they spin. Rock and Roll artists been drunk, stoned, cokes up, shooting heroine, etc. forever. Sure it doesn't promote a drug free clientelle but that doesn't mean that the club is a crackden because of the dj. PVD never does drugs and his entire fan base rolls so what does that mean?? And about 1998 - 2000 - yeah the crowd was better and the door stricter - but you could still get in with jeans / sneaks whatever if you had the right style and attitude and look. That's one thing i liked about Paris - door was strict but it was HER policy...nothing was a hard or fast rule was all about how you presented yourself.

It was common knowledge there was gonna be dress code with Paris at the door. Gimme a break - opening night and you're all worked up cause she wouldn't let you in with a t-shirt LOL. Think back a few years with Paris at SF - if you had no personal style you'd have gotten thrown off that line too until 5 or 6 am. Of course, just depends on your attitude and eveything...cause if u know how to work the door you could probably get in with a tank top

You forget - last night Black opened (and wasn't shut down lol until well after avalon closes) so it wasn't the JP / SF factor i don't think...

My roomate said the crowd was absolutely horrible and there was no space to move - she had a bad time. I didn't go cause i knew that would happen - Cox in NYC is always a nightmare cause he never spins anywhere big enough

Ok - i usually stay quiet and outta stuff - i'm an OLD SKOOL jp / sf fan from forever ago. Unfortunately there's a significant element of his "fans" who i'm not even sure if they are into his music or not but what is for sure is that drugs ARE the scene for them. And not just a little bump or a pill or whatever but serious drugs like G and Tina that really fuck u up when you do lots of them AND are sooo obvious that you are on them. I think the best thing JP could do for his career would be to do early parties that close at 4 or 5 am for a while...have him concentrate on spinning 6 hour sets of good stuff so he can mix nice and tight and maybe start to build a fan base of people who want to hear him instead of kids who want to go get fucked up. Suks that this shit follows him around but it does and so long as they aren't strip searching people on the way in there's really no way to keep drugs outta the club - i mean sure a club should have decent security but its the people that make the party.

Well we had a phenomenal time...having known how crowded that place gets and being with girls who are like 5foot and 90lbs we got there early (11) and got spots on and just in front of the platform infront of the back bar. perfect view perfect speaker orientation the girls had room to dance (well not LOTS of room) up on the platform and the lights were great from there too. I was right infront of the platform and def got crowded with the crowd pushing back to us from the front but was always able to dance. Ton TB was GREAT opening up - one of the best opening sets I've heard and Tiesto's set was top 2 or 3 ever heard from him. Was seriously great - crowd near us was also great. Honestly had one of the best times - kinda like PVD set @ WMC in 2002. Ronin - bumped into you on the deck for a moment after the set...way too hot up there so we hit the outside for a bit. Had to fly home that afternoon and check out of hotel etc. so left by 8 i think

ahhh...a deep wardrobe lol i'll keep my eye out..err..open? hmm

i love coming down to miami

hey DaVe - hoping to get there around 5 so if we're on time (which is possible actually) and can find the booth we'll stop by 6pm... ...if not i always run into you anyway - Pete

man i'll see you there - def at ultra, possibly at space... ...u bringing your flight shirt?

don't know if the dates are wrong or not BUT nyc is always hot in march cause all the dj's are in for WMC so they do US tours then...

LOL or you can just know the 2 or 3 things you know you really want to see and just go with the flow otherwise its not like there's no one down there to chat on the beach with about what's going on the next night...

Yeah i don't know about cheap hotels anywhere near the club - if i were you i'd go to hotels.com and just see what you can find and be sure to read the reviews. Anything really cheap in Manhattan is likely to be a really shoddy place. Newark will definitely be the closest and if you're just coming for the club i'd recommend a hotel in NJ, maybe even near the airport - cause it will be a lot cheaper...

i think mine will just about pay for the cover @ Arc and the subway ride to and from
