He still lives on south beach and i see him all the time running his erands and grocery shopping and stuff. he is still bar/Gm at Nikki Beach........ Now for Dade!!!!!!!!.............maybe if you showed up to Spin for Acostas cd party and other nights you wouldve known who this is. you even replied once on her to me "yeah yeah i know ive been lame ill go next time" and never went:mad: anyway Ill PM you with my info so we keep in touch (if i figure out how the hell to PM someone)like i said THE BEST JUICY stories will remain .......... inside but here is a few.My best Shadow moment was (see if you remember this one Dade) we hosted a party for Hip Hop Mogul Russel Simons birthday and it was celebrity infested..... Oliver Stone, Cameron Diaz, Mariah Carey,RUN DMC, and im leaving some more out im sure.....well the point is they had this ultra exclusive table and i managed to wedge my way in. I Guess Mariah thought if i was in there was because i was some big shot. The REAL reason was i work there!!!so they cut Simmons birthday cake and Mariah starts feeding me cake and dancing and groping me all over and dirty dancing. I had to cut it short cuz i was afraid Dade or others would catch me and i get canned:laugh: then i remember saying this story on monday to my friends not lucky to get in and they didnt believe me or didnt want to.A CONFESSION TO DADE......Dade we used that little storage room behind the marketing ofifce as our motel 6.at first only a few of us knew about it to use it.....then before you knew it i would go in there and i see barbacks and bartenders and bouncers getting friendly with our patronsi even saw little black sonny getting his freak on!and one Dade story........Dade was more my type of owner he was a behind the scenes deal. not really a publicity whore. very hands on. so not many people knew he was an owner unless u knew him.so when the door was jammed outside of people aching to get in. I mean really busy those slammed bundled up pick me pick me type lines. Dade would ask us how we were doing (tipwise)then we would say not that good yet.he would say "ok" he stood in line as if he wanted to get in and it would go like this....dade: "what is the cover today and how late are you open"us: "20 bucks open till 5 AM"DADE: "CAN I GET IN?"us: "GIVE US A SECOND"DADE "CAN I TAKE CARE OF YOU AND PAY THE COVER I REALLY WANNA GO IN AND HAVE A GOOD TIME" US: "SUUUUUURE" he would slap us a 50 and walk in we turn around give right back to him and everyone in line was emptying thier pockets.thanks for the xtra dough. keep the memories coming !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sgtfury Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 i had many great memories at shadow lounge....I would look forward all week to sat. night at SL.....as cheesey as it seems now, when GA would drop "world in my eyes" that place would go nuts...however,back in SL's heyday, i was going out with this columbian chick..she was one of the Shadow Lounge VIP posse...anyone that would regularly go to SL knows the posse of hot columbian chicks that would hang out in the VIP..the only problem was..i was to poor and cheap for the VIP so our sat nights would go like this..1. pick up columbian chick at her house..wait a hour for her to adjust fake boobs2. drive to beach with window down due to heavy perfume odor3. pick up Sobeton at his house4. wait for Sobeton to complet his "ritual"5. sit in silence in car because columbian chick is pissed that we stopped to pick up Sobeton6. get to shadow lounge and when we go in, chick heads for her friends in VIP and tony and head for bar7. tony and I spend night basically getting f***ed up and columbian chick spends night ttrying to get into VIP to hang with her homegirls..8. columbian finally gets into VIP and gets me and Tony it and we sit there spaced out in a midst of tits and ass9. then around 3am, the air conditioning would mysterioulsy go off9. we hop in the car for another uncomfortable ride of silence to space...i have to say that after the Mix closed, shadow was the only place to go where it kinda of felt like something special....havent really felt like that since...

pod Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Damn, I can only imagine the motel six...I was fairly anonymous during the Shadow Lounge days, but Bobby and Dade did invite me once or twice into the little apartment-esque office to share a drink or two with some friends. Shadow Lounge was where I cut my teeth, turning from a total schlep, to a total schlep with an SLR of some sort slung over my shoulder. Give me another 3 or 4 years, and the schlep part will be gone The nicest part was I barely knew Dade and Bobby, but I was always greeted well even after I just met them. The true epitome of hosts in this town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmatas2277 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Originally posted by ogmiami I have to tell you that I am actually touched by this thread. Thanks...all of you! It really means a lot to me. no thank u for giving us Shadow!!!! i lived there Friday and Saturdays of 99-2000...99-2001 is where i would ALWAYS be on a Saturday....GA's last night i was there at Shadow...that night was like 99-2000, the vibe and music-wise....all the old SHADOW HEADS came back for that night...many had disappeared for a while, but came back for this event....many people talked about the Edge being the craziest times...i just talk about Shadow and people understand (the old school people at least)...things that stick out about Shadow:1. Dade/Bobby smoking cigars in the entrance or 2nd floor bars (Dade was always with hot chics)2. Bobby every week saying "Hi" to me and the next week he forgets my name... 3. Edgar V always chillin by the stage that they had near the entrance walk-way4. The "cluster-phobia" i got from Shadow during the summer months...(if u had to pee and u were near the front of the club...i feel for u)5. The AC being broken during the summer months...THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES DADER.I.P. SHADOW LOUNGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbliss Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 anyone remember the original biss parties at shadow with slacker and dave seaman?? those were one of the best nights I can ever remember. I remember dave seaman having too through Oliver Stone and his lady friend out of the booth for being too drunk and sweaty.. It was the first place I heard dave seaman drop "one of the people" - one of my all time classic tunes for sure.. Hey, thanks too dade and the old shadow staff for all of the memories and for giving Bliss it's first real chance.. Nothing better than a top memory..

james954 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 i remeber the first bliss event there and my friend williston had just moved down from DC. he was a huge dave seaman fan but he wasn't old enough to get into shadow. so he sat on the planter all night outside the front door and i went in and out telling him how amazing it was inside. he was still stoked to hear seaman, even if it was through the doorway. thanks dade and jon for some wicked nights there!

shroomy Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Another good one is a big name DJ getting ready to go on by the upstairs bar. He pulls out a bag of an unknown white powder and proceeds to cut up lines on the bar.The security guy sees him and does that flash light flick (aka.. I see you, cut it out) with his flash light.The DJ looks at him, grabs his flash light, and uses it to see better what he is doing. He then hands the flash light back to the security guy saying "Thanks" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
