You guys are so obvious. Of course people have a great time when someone gets paid to show them VIP service. I know your friend denies getting compensated for his selfless time consuming acts but even the show "the club" includes references to independent hosts that get paid to bring people to their club. Do you think Body English just lets people in and give them seats just because BillHe brings them? No, they have an arrangement with BillHe like every club that works with promoters. They pay him to recruit people from message boards and bring them to their club just like a taxi driver gets paid to drop people off at Rhinos or Ice. Yet they all deny it. BillHe even admit he MAKES A LIVING recruiting people to casinos. However this is a club board so he denies that his arrangement with select nightclubs is the same as his independent host arrangements with Casinos. Now OPM is not like these other clubs. They don't need to pay promoters pretending they are simply good saints just looking to hook strangers up from message boards because their urban clientelle is loyal. So all of a sudden they get slammed. Yet they probably service more customers per week than all these other hot spots that pay BillHe to recommend them. Hmmmm. The funny part for me is reading your attempt to defend your friend by using some of his alleged experiences and incorporating that into your own review. You are getting your stories confused now. Why the heck would a bouncer from *any* club refuse to accept a pass from ladies unless it was a special event in which no passes were accepted or unless your party was obnoxious, which is more likely what happened. There's always two sides to every story. And patted down metal detectors are used at other clubs that protect their customers. But the best part is your fights with other customers. First you fight the bouncers, then you fight the security and then you fight the patrons - you seem so peaceful. Interestingly BillHe used the exact same argument and applied it to several urban nightclubs. I have never once seen tough guy ass-feeling customers at OPM and I have been there several times. So keep slamming away. Dale Davis
