Thanks - We'll see what happens. I'm not particular to just "big rooms" - anything with some good house music is good regardless of size. Thanks for the help though! I'll most likely check out Blue as well as the places you mentioned. Keeping fingers crossed that I'll have fun!

awwwww... i'll be there 04/14 - 04/18 - let me know how it went when you get back and what places were any good.

Thanks! Finally a friendly person on this board!!! I'm from NYC- DJ I like ...um.... Roger Sanchez, Erick Morillo, Peter Rauhofer, Jonathan Peters, Armand Van Helden, David Morales etc... hope that helps?

what type of music? from new york but will be in miami

umm....yes...house music... i suppose you've never heard of it? <sarcasm> i also suppose that you're laughing cause almost everything in SoBe is "bottles and models and hip-hop"

ok...can anyone help me out here? other than crobar...which are the cool SoBe or Miami clubs that don't play nonstop hip-hop, or that play mainly house music?

What's the dress code like a Cellar Bar? Is casual but nice and chill or is it the type of place where people get all decked out just to stand around holding their martini glasses with their noses in the air trying to look pretty?

HMM.... thought victor had a residency in miami.... would loveeeeeeeeee to see that happen though!

Dragon: Consider where you posted for advice ???? Helllllloooo? Prob. not the best choice considering most of the people on this board have experimented or currently experiment with E. I used to be very anti-drugs and anti-E.... until I actually experimented...then it opens up your mind and you see things from a more open minded point of view. Drugs are dangerous - but there is no scientific proof that E has any short term or long term side effect. THAT IS THE TRUTH... i researched it and researched it before i even tried it. Dont get me wrong.. I dont do it on a regular basis, maybe a few times here and there and it is a great experience. What you need to ask yourself is "is your friend the type to get carried away"... the danger is not E its what comes after that.... the tina, the coke, the k etc etc.... many people are tempted to try soemthing else once they've tried E and hey...to each their own... I dont judge whatsoever... so you're real concern is... is your friend the type to get carried away. E simply releases seratonin into the brain and makes you feel happy and giddy and loving... some do make you racy and speedy depending on whether they are made from MDNA (dopey pills relatively safe) of MDA (usually a combination of many drugs plus MDA which has teh same effect of MDNA but can be harmful). There have been cases of people getting dehydrated and to compensate drinking exessive amounts of water and then their kidneys shutting down and them going into a state of shock or coma, but the odds of that happening are fewer than you being on an airplane that crashes literally. Do some research and understand the drug before you stereotype it to be like every other harmful drug out there. You'll find that most researches show that it is relatively safe as long as its real E. The main dangers are: 1. just getting a bad pill and having a bad high because of it...usually people feel nauseous do to the cocktail of drugs in the pill and will throw up anyway. 2. dont' drink alcohol and do pills ... this will make you realllyyyyyyyy sick and not very functional 3. not keeping yourself hydrated or OVER hydrating yourself. 1/2 bottle of water for every hour is a good amount if you are the dancing type. Other than that... let her play and experience it... once you do the research you will see that its not the end of the world and that its relatively safe. Now my question for you is... do you not want her to try it out of concern for her life or out of your own preconceived notions that drugs are bad and people just shouldn't do them because they'll end up crackheads losers with an addiction? btw- its not addictive though people may start to depend on it to have a good time each time their out. My last comment would just be that: I've been there, I was anti E, I did the research I tried it and I liked it and I dont do it very often, 9 times out of 20 I party completely SOBER - NO ALCOHOL AND NO DRUGS and yes i have my own natural high off the music and fun.... but its still fun to do every once in a while...... my advice is that u try it together at home in a safe location with some good music in the background (with someone aroudn that isn't high that calm you guys down if you start freakin' out wondering why you suddenly feel tingles all over the place and think the world is beautiful and lovely and you are suddenly a philosopher ) see where that takes you . I guarantee that your opinion on the matter will be less narrow and much more open... but dont forget...google it and do the research first.

OK... I REALLY NEED TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST: OK, I hate hating on Jersey, especially since I have a few good friends from there but sometimes (deep sigh), they just leave me now choice. So I'm at work and bored and I decided to check out the Jersey Message Board, after having read through NY's of course, and its suddenly clear why the jersey party scene is, well, NOT RESPECTED~!!!!! You read through the NY message board and everyone is discussing their fave DJ's or genre of music, what the best parties are and actually having somewhat interesting conversations regarding our favorite little hobbie DANCING AND MUSIC BABY! (yes, i realize that we have our fare share of morons too but not nearly as many) So what do I find on the Jersey board U ask? Girls gone wild promotion cause let's face its the sluts the lure guys to the clubs there NOT the music, guido attire for the night and what gel works best to keep you hairs sticking straight up the whole night, where was the best drunken fight Studio 9 or Deko and lets not forget my favorite the best song on KTU that EVERYONE has to blast in the pimped out rimmed car while driving up and down the main avenue of whatever town you live in! Don't get me wrong, I dont party in Jersey nearly enough to make and educated analysis here but from what I've experienced in teh past and the crap I hear on that board, really, why would I want to? Anyone who really understands what its all about and is looking for a good time is forced to cross the bridge/tunnel and come into NYC. So my sympathy to all of the Jerseyians out there who understand and make the extra effort to come and support the music and venues NYC has to offer and to all of you Jersey kids who are offended by this (if you're defensive you must be guilty) STAY THE F* away before you ruin our city too!!!!

Definitely Platinum! Do you really want to spend $75 dollars to see 1000 Asians running around Ikon with glowsticks to PVD's music???? Platinum is the way to go Mark Amatucci and Tony Tee are awesome house dj and I'm sure they'll offer a good time. You can tune in to metromixradio.com to hear their shows live or prerecorded sets to see what i'm talking about. I'll definitely be there!

Thanks Silverbull! Not a bad idea.... I recommend u get to it. I'll be checking out some of the places you mentioned....hopefully I wont be disappointed~!

O.k...im someone who hates the "trendy bottles and models" scene...(very well put btw silverbull) and you've mentioned a couple of places.... so a little help here plz. I am so sick of the stand around with a drink in one hand and throwing your hand in the air to go w/ the hip hop beat w/ the other hand and trying to look pretty scene but I've had trouble finding cool places that AREN'T like that. Avalon is o.k...if you're lucky and find a good DJ is spinning, Spirit is a decent place....too bad I'm not a JP obsessed fan. Where does one go to dance their asses off to good house music and chill out w/ a cool down to earth crowd??? You mentioned Shelter....I"ve heard of it....where is it? Cielo is open on Wednesdays and its cool? God...where have I been...hiding under a rock? Nah....probably just hiding under the table from the glitter crowd in an upscale NYC lounge somewhere! a little help here plz. If I were to go out to one place each day of the week for an entire week....for those of you that know....what are the best places?

how do I get advanced tickets for tiesto this saturday?????? anyone know?
