i understand your frustration, weyes, but the standard rooftop parties are supposed to be a scene (ala rehab in vegas, various pool parties at WMC). so naturally, the people that go there fit the bill. i've had a great time at these parties cause i like the grooves, the view, and the hot chicks. if that means that they have to be more stringent at the door, so be it. but trust me, i also like casual, less "scene-y" parties too. it all depends on what i'm in the mood for and what i'm expecting. everyone has the places and parties that fit their niche... or even their mood, like in my case. after all, if every place had the same vibe and people, wouldn't it all be redundant? this party happens to be for the people that want to be knee-deep in a cool/trendy party that feels exclusive. after all, this is LA, scene of all scenes. the standard delivers that product and they deliver it well. but i do understand your frustration... *********************************
