utilitychick Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Wow. i cant believe how much it affected people. I thought i was a bit extra for worrying about that sort of thing. Here, people seem to just carry on as normal, although we're obviously not affected as much.I have been to the government travel websites and theyre advising against doing anything overtly 'touristy'...so now im going to LA and not supposed to be doing anything touristy...Im not a touristy person but i at least wanted to go to the Walk of Fame etc and my friends are dragging me to Universal. Oh im so confused... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh im so confused... wow - the gov't is advising against visiting tourist attractions? that's pretty intense... i don't think it's all that crazy. it's all so unpredictable; if some crazy terrorists were to blow up some place in l.a., who's to say it'd be universal instead of the business district, downtown?as has been said before, we can't all just put our lives on hold, waiting for something terrible to happen . my brother's coming to visit in a few weeks, and i'm taking him to disneyland - just try and stop me .

utilitychick Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 "Following Presidents Bush's address to the United States on 17 March, which gave Saddam Hussein and his sons 48 hours to leave Iraq, the US government raised its threat assessment to US interests to high (orange) " and so on.... watch out for "...people acting suspiciously around an obviously 'Western' institution or gathering..." "These attacks, those in Bali and Mombasa in particular, show that terrorists are prepared to attack the least well protected targets, such as innocent holidaymakers, as long as they can be seen to hit at 'Western' interests"Scary stuff from: www.fco.gov.uk/travelSo that makes a paranoid person like me worse. But im determined to go, i am just looking forward to the LA weather, clubs, shops too much. I do agree that life cant stand still! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalate Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Sorry to hear you're delaying your plans.While LALate is very busy at the moment (because of growth), attendance IS off at venues, not noticeable unless you know the venues quite well --- in essence, the venues are still packed, just not AS packed (but some venues we saw open on some weekdays are closed some weeknights lately).July is nice in LA though.

utilitychick Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Hi lalate,Well it looks like it had been affected. Thats a shame because i think we should just live our lives while we're young, and not have to let things out of our control affect our habits.Oh well, looks like ill be seeing you guys in july - at least it will be HOT HOT HOT!

lalate Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 fyi lapromoter ---the May 22 one sounds very good.Clubgoers generally dont go to a venue cuz of themes (although we personaly think they are cool, esp if you got great artwork in the mailers).... the draw is generally the venue (which you got) or the giveaways (like on May 22 for example) or the product launches (album releases, etc.)Keep up the good work.Send us the info - info@lalate.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapromoter Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 what about may29th I mean come on BED AND PAJAMA Party and a trip tp CABO. I dont know homie that sounds really tempting? :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalate Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 i agree with you homie lol.Highlands on Hollywood which our subscribers luved --- let's just say, that night, clothing was practically optional lol! That did well.Another time, we pushed a Playboy bed party @ Garden last year .. they had a friggen BED on the street there with red carpet -- the people luved it and were salivating .... That did well (but was free and catered so that helped.)But, we pushed a pajama party south of marina del rey that same time. No one wanted it.It just depends. (Well, off to hit the gym, here, to win that hotbody contest on May 29! Cabo here we come!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapromoter Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 HAHAHA thats what im talkin about. Definetly man whatever you can do to post our events up would be great. Thanks for everything and all your advice man. LATTERRRRRR oh yeah GOOD LUCK when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalate Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 I would have put the LA tanning week right before the Hot Body Week --- so you try to get your patrons all tan one week and showing it off the next week and the venue again lol j/kSo is the hot body contest for girls and guys?How about a team competition? lol. I think all the nightlife organizers in town should get their guestlists and referrals together in a team competition hot body contest and see which organizer has the hottest guestlist team! How cool what that be?! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
