the main reason why lines are so long at clubs here or why it takes so long to get in one is because #1, there's just soooo many people going out clubbing and #2, the club is already jam packed with people. clubs by law have to adhere to the maximum capacity settings which the city dictates for a given space within a club and the city of LA does enforce these codes. last fri. night for instance, i was at club ivar and the fire marshal came in to check the capacity. at another club i was at in boston, the fire marshal there came in with the police and literally ordered everyone to evacuate the club due to overcrowding and fire hazard concerns. it's just an unfortunate fact of clubbing life we have to deal with but yeah try not to judge your experience of LA club life based on one bad night or one bad club experience. your experience really depends on the club, location, crowd and the time you go.
