drumsjunkie Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Originally posted by CHRles Saleen and ogmiami both brought up good points with the whole big dj wages issue, and admission prices at the door.Still, why is it a lot of clubs in cities like Washington, Boston, and even some in San Francisco can charge $10-15 at the door for a good DJ and Ft. Lauderdale can't? Is it b/c of the proximity to South Beach? Aside from Miami, $25-30 cover charges are usually only seen in NY, L.A., and Chicago, or am I wrong here? Aside from Karma, pretty much all of Ft. Lauderdale is a Cheese Crowd. They only like what they hear on the radio, Party93.1 for the cheesy trance or Power 96 for the Hip Hop. I really dont think most of the crowd in Ft. Lauderdale is educated enough on Dance Music Culture, so there for they wont be able to justify spending $20, $30 bucks on a "DJ" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolahotass Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Lauderdale will never be SoBe/Miami when it comes to good music on a CONSISTENT basis, however, if occassionally a party is thrown (ala S&G party w/ Oscar G), then I'm happy.... I think it's fun to bar hop and drink in the streets.. it's fun to people watch and bullshit w/ your friends.. yep, the music blows in most places, but if just once a month, a quality dj spins a venue in downtown Laudy, it'll save all the Broward/Palm Beach people that drive to SoBe/Miami for quality music (and low low cover too!).... my $.02:D Lola;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funketeer Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 It's silly to get all picky and snub about partying...if you have a good time, then it works...some have fun in Ft Lauderdale and some don't...no big deal...the crazy idea is to think that Laudy will ever be a "scene" is just "obscene" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrman22 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 1ST. NOT EVERYONE LIKES DANCE MUSIC. I LIKE ALL KINDS OF MUSIC (SINCE I WASNT BORN IN THIS COUNTRY) AND I DONT THINK THERE IS A DJ WORTH SPENDING A $20 COVER ON. EVEN DJ CLUE, DIGWEED, OAKENFOLD, AND FUNK-FLEX WOUDN'T NEVER GET MORE THAN $10 OUT OF ME. I PREFER FT. LAUDERDALE BECAUSE THE FOLKS OUT THERE KNOW HOW TO ACT AND THEY ARE MORE EDUCATED. YOU CAN ACTUALLY HAVE AN INTELLIGENT CONVERSATION WITH FOLKS AND THEY DONT PRETEND LIKE THEY HAVE MONEY BY BUYING BOTTLES TO SHOW IT. THE REASON WHY THE COVER AT SOBE IS SO MUCH IS BECAUSE IT IS A TOURIST DESTINATION. MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT THE COVER IS HIGH BECAUSE ITS AN ELITE SPOT (NOT!!!!!)WITH THIS BAD ECONOMY, WHO IS GOING TO PAY A $20 COVER (JUST BECAUSE A DJ IS THERE), SPEND $10 FOR A VODKA TONIC AND PAY $10 FOR PARKING? WHILE FT LIQUORDALE HAS BARS THAT OFFER 3-4-1 DRINKS ALL NITE LONG (MAX'S GRILLE RIVERFRONT) AND CHEAP COVER LIKE 5-10 BUCKS. DANCE AND TRANCE MUSIC IS ON THE DECLINE AT THIS POINT AND IT SEEMS THAT HIP-HOP IS BECOMING MAINSTREAM. BOTTOM LINE IS THIS: THE # 1 REASON PEOPLE GO OUT IS TO MINGLE NOT TO SPEND REDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY ON STUPID THINGS LIKE DJS SOMEONE SAID IT RIGHT:It's silly to get all picky and snub about partying...if you have a good time, then it works...some have fun in Ft Lauderdale and some don't...no big deal...the crazy idea is to think that Laudy will ever be a "scene" is just "obscene" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corinto Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 hey mrman....the only thing your post affirms is your disinterest in the club scene..A club is not for mingling, is for dancing your ass off....if you want to mingle dont go to clubs, go to a tea party with my grandmother...Peace out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a fantastic alternative in Lauderdale and I love it. But, it is not an ultimate destination. It is a place to meet before you hit the clubs or a nice spot to hear tunes after dinner. It is just 2 small to B anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrman22 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Im not the type of person who feels he must prove himself in this message board. I have been partying for 7 years straight and have conquered New Orleans, NY, Las vegas, LA, Orlando, Tampa, and of course SOFLA where I reside. Im right up here with the best of them in my opinion.People go out to socialize and if they didnt then they would dance and drink at home (think about that JEFFY). I used to work in clubs from Blue on SOBE, Allstar Cafe, and a brief stint a Burmuda Bar before i woke up and went back to college. I always used to wonder why people would spend a total of 2 - 300 bucks total a nite in order to have a good time. The point I am trying to make is that you dont have to spend lots of $$ to have a good time. Save your money cause the economy is gonna get worse and those SOBE chicks are all about the $$$!!!!

I believe this thread was about Lauderdale and its strange vibe not about the idiots who spend $300 on a bottle. your point is blank; that's what it is.

hotliquid25 Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Ft Lauderdale clubs can kick ass, but the people need to get the stick out of there ass. The owners need to realize that hip hop is out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
