Yeah that is. The best dim sums are next to my office and one in China town - both range from $3 for 8 pieces to $5 for 8. Thats expensive.

Again? They just did that n reopened.

Theyre vacilating the last few weeks. Use to be 80s, now's its changing.

100%? Whole venue or part of it... Mix Teatro Thurs n Sat 1/2 of Tangerine Seven Afterhours Drais Afterhours Pure Need hookups at any of the above (and the others mentioned), pm me.

The stuff that goes down on Pier - cant post it. Its too lol

For dancing ... ***Mor **Barcopa maybe Temple maybe Zanibar maybe Cinche

Been around now a few years. Ive known people who go. They say its nice, nothing incredible and jawdropipng.

Who's partying? Where? How? Oh - And I wanta a cardboard life-sized copy of the girl with the lips in Ariel's flyer. Everyday I come into the office - MUAHHHHHHHH. lol

how was the dim sum place priced? dim sum.

You pimping the t-shirt bro?

Choices: 1. undergrounds. 2. come to lalate's owned venue in la in a few months 3. wait a few years and come to it in Vegas.

May be there that weekend too in addition to early August. holla!

I get this question quite often - "drinks are expensive there, right?" The people are asking about drinks themselves, not bottles. My opinion - no, not really. What does everyone think? Ive seen a couple trends 1) Friendliness. The bartenders in Vegas really are extremely friendly, not in a way to hustle for a tip, but just cool. If you know how you want your drink poured, that makes it stronger, they do it, and they are anxious to do it. In other towns, many bartenders look at you like your request is a bother, and they resolve it by doing it there way. In Vegas they listen, they pour, they even ask afterwards if it was done right. They even make it a conversation piece sometimes. So you get your drink as asked, generally. 2) Prices. Not only are the drinks strong, if you want them, but they are generally decently priced. Sometimes Ive seen one club with two different bartenders on two nights will charge me a range of $2 difference on an original drink, but thats normal. Yes, the prices are distinctly higher than clubs in non-big cities across the nation, but compared to other big cities, Ive seen prices consistent, with ranges going from below to slightly above the average trend. What does everyone else think?

a couple more weeks, we'll do it up twisted - holla, it's thursday, time for me to give ya a ring lol ... oh, and ariel, if you ever redo the picture, I have just one preference..... ...prefer no teeth. nooooooooooooooo teeth. OUCH! OUCH OUCH lol jk

well said. Basic is and KingKing almost always pulls in a killer vibe

No offense taken. We can all agree to disagree. A lot of the stuff you say are often true as risolated instances but false for generalizations and thats what I respond to, the generalizations being made. Some of the worse run doors in the nation are in LA and some of the best run doors are in LA. Los Angeles is dominated and has perfected the artform of the vip-guestilst only system. There is an artform to how it is done. Even as recently, I was part of the grand opening of a new venue in LA. They brought on two security guards all of 21 years old that had no experience with any venue and it was fiasco having us teach them, on the spot, how to do a door. True and not true. Vibe - true. There is not enough attention to the vibe in LA. lalate has written extensively on this in articles in 2004 about the lack of attention to vibe by venues. Longevity - not true. If you look at LA's top 10 venues, and compare that to the year they opened, you can see longevity. In regards to venues located in Hollywood, I would agree. Again in 2004 lalate wrote extensively on the subject it calls the trend of the "lookatme lookatme crowd" and how it has ruined the vibe of Hollywood clubs. I do believe that other areas of So Cal, and other non-Hollywood scenes, have the same vibe, if not stronger, that they have always maintained. Problematic statement. Because the "undeground scene" is not Hollywood. Hollywood has very few "underground" locations/parties. Undergrounds. The underground scene in LA is as vibrant as ever. In 2003-2004, lalate's year end listing of la's top parties put several underground events as its parties in LA that year. The underground scene still presents one of the best vibes, music originality, friendliness, and multiplatform offerings you have in LA. The only negative part of the underground scene that pulled from 2004-2005 has been the move of certain underground organizers to mainstream venues, commercializing, which you cant hate them for doing because people have to make a living. Very correct for Hollywood. lalate's article in 2004. Thats why its important to find a network of friends that can help you find those spots/nights that move from this horrible norm - because they do exist. LOL. Maybe they should stay behind the gate because Vanguard didnt open last Saturday --- it opened many many months ago! lol. Ranting. OK...I'm done. Yes and no. It's not. It's a great venue. But its not the top. This weekend, Im hanging out with my buddy's brother. My buddy is from the midwest and his brother has moved here. The brother said to me last night - best weather in the nation, beautiful place to live, but the what the hell is with the people. As Ive always said, hang around nice people, you'll have a ball, let the bad apples get to you, you wont.

thats 96?! Ive seen that. I cant imagine it being worth that much.

only have hookups in Alaska. Sorry, cant help you lol jk
