Where do these people come from?sense of communtiy? oh don't even go there. not sure if you remember or not, but during the whole Elian incident, over 100,000 people got together to peacefully protest against the government. not too far in homestead, thousands also protested. even though it was FOR the government, it was still a community coming together. at least we don't have men raping and tearing the clothes off of women during some parade. so don't come to me with this community bullshit.about migrating because of weather...yes i'll admit that most do that. but they also would like to get away from the dark, dirty, cold, negative minded aspects that new york does have.these negative remarks just prove how narrowminded some of you are. miami is not just about south beach, the music and bars. there's much more behind it.if you'd stop worrying about tips and clubs and this and that, and start paying attention to yourself, you would find out what this world really has to offer.whatever...just dropping more "SENSE" in the piggy bank.[This message has been edited by phrankadelic (edited 03-08-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeacasta Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 I think you people are a getting a little off topic. The initial post actually had a good point. I really don't think that post was a NY bashing Miami post. It was a people in Miami bashing other people in Miami post. I'm new to the board but I have noticed House people bashing on trance people. Trance people bashing on Trance/glowstick people. Trance/glowstick people don't even bother writing on the board because you've alienated them.

b-side Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 George my friend, you have written eloquently. Now hopefully some of us will learn from this experience. The big problem with the Miami community is truly the lack there-of. I think it stems from so many transplants trying to claim the turf (myself included- A Native New Orleanian). BTW: if you think N.Y. is "all that" then you obviously have never been to New Orleans... Now this is the town that invented the worlds best free party & the "We Never Close" mentality. And you definitely can get away with anything, including lewd sex acts in the streets. (O.K. well anything except, for throwing a party called a "RAVE" at the State Palace Theatre... but that's another post) ------------------Peace & Blessings,B-SIDE"The DJ From Another Planet"™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod- Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 More NYC versus Miami BS...oh god. IM sorry but I've lived in Miami for 5 years, now living IN NYC for 7. There is no way you can even compare the two . Miami is a fucking pimple On NYC's ass. Other than clubbin and the good weather it has absolutely nothing to offer for someone of any intellectual kind. NYC has SOOO much to offer other than clubbing. Broadway, art, conventions, the list goes on and on. So like I said, don't compare the two cause Miami has got nuttin on NYC. It's this attitude that makes people despise NYC. Just about 2 hours ago, a noted photographer said to me...'I fucking hate NYC, I haven't been back there in 20 years, everyone there thinks they are God's gift to culture, life, and so forth...'Each city has it's upside, and each city has it's downside....get used to it, and I'll be honest, New York's not going to be the top dog forever...some other city could easily topple it in the next 5-10 years..not necessarily Miami, but someone will. I must say it again though. If you hate Miami, leave. I don't need you in front of me in traffic, sucking up my gas, holding up the line at clubs, taking up my parking...------------------Add +175 to my message count!

sobeton Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 new york, and miami are unique in their own way. as a transplanted new yorker; I can say new york is not perfect, and neither is miami. I spent over 18 years of my life in new york, and it is a part of who I am today. miami is now my home, and I enjoy most aspects of miami. miami is also a very young city, and seeing it grow and mature ; is a wonderful thing to witness.. as far as clubs go, they are getting better and more diverse. it is great going to shadow lounge, space, crobar, etc and seeing people enjoying each other’s company, and the music. I’ve always believed as far as clubs go; that the dj creates the music and we the clubbers create the environment. that environment should be accepting of “all” people ...Peace,sobeton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staceyg5 Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 look guys---this debate can go on & on & on.... everyone has good points and is entitled to say their opinion no matter where there from-its called your 1st amendment! i know i've tried repeatedly to get people to "meet up" and its the same people who show up all the time. oh well, it's other people's loss for not giving it a chance. and who knows; you might be missing out on meeting some great people who you can have fun with and learn from...personally, i don’t give a flying f**k what your perferences are. if your a genuine nice person who appreciates the privilege to hear such great talent, then i want you around me...

Nolimit Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 macfunk> i agree with you that the last week of march, miami is the only place to be. i don't think 16 years ago when the first conference emerged that they knew it was going to explode like it did. thanks to the rampant use of 'e' is when things changed drastically. i remember the conference used to be about freestyle not house.however, i strongly disagree that this ugly city of ours doesn't have some of the best djs playing here week after week.Just take a look at twilo's line-up alone for the past few months and that's a mini-conference in its own.

garfielduk Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 I dont mean to be confrontational but the only reason the the WMC is in Miami is that the guy who started it up happens to be from here,no other reasonI live in Miami and it is one hell of a town but lets be honest Miami people which club down here compares to the Twilo,exit,limelight etc...we have some good places (space,crobar etc)and our weather pisses on NYC but weather means nothing to the club kids coz if im not mistaken most clubs are indoorsboth cities have pro's and con's why argue I'm and englishman living in your country and believe me any city in the states is better than what we did to our scene in the UK. we destroyed it with corperate back stabbing,bickering,money oriented greed,now its a mainstream pop whore.....don't ruin it people,it's beautifull and its ours (cheezy but true)enjoy it while we can before the suits get it like back homeG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod- Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Bla Bla Bla Twilo this, Exit that...agggh!!!Sure, the DJs mentioned may not stop down here as much as some of you may like, but we've still got an excellent crop of local DJs, who usually are well regarded globally, though not on the scale (yet) as much as S & D, Oakenfold, etc...I enjoy what Padilla, Edgar, and Oscar spin as much, maybe even more so, than what Sasha and John, or Steve Lawler drop...People come to Miami not just for the DJs, they come for the different experience of clubbing. They come to see the glitz, the glamour...they come to see the beautiful people a lot of you deride...Where else outside of maybe Los Angeles can you see a million dollars plus worth of exotic Italian engineering hovering outside the front door of the club? Where else can you perhaps meet and converse (yes I've done so) with a mind numbingly hot supermodel? (Laetita I love you! hahaahah) I'm just citing a few examples here, but basically I'm saying is people go to NYC to hear the talent and "keep it real", whatever that may mean. People come to Miami to hear the talent (local, and international), and get the whole 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous...' experience...I for one don't want Miami to become another New York. I want to still be able to visit NYC for a change of pace (and change of diet, damnit you can't get a good antipasti soup around here...)and to experience something different... Every scene should strive to be it's own individual charachter...it's what makes a place worth visiting!------------------Add +175 to my message count!

New York's sense of community is directly in line with its sense of where the money is at.the fact that the new york board required a SEPARATE board for drama speaks volumes.the fact that a new york person felt the need to create a separate identity in order to post anonomously on the miami board just to diss miami is also interesting.p.s. - it's 78 degrees and sunny today and i'm hitting the beach at lunch - how's new york looking eh?its cold as hell here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manhattan420 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Originally posted by patrickl:I love it when New Yorkers slam Miami...it's just too easy. The bottom line, if New York is so great, such a better community and city than Miami, why have New Yorkers been moving HERE in droves - for decades now? Beyond the obvious cultural attractions, I'm not impressed at all with NYC. It's crowded, dark, and dirty. And, as Noira alluded, the weather is crap.I agree with you man. The only problem i see with you post is most of the people moving down from ny to miami are 80+ years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that taking a census of Century Village residents would yield a high percentage of transplanted New Yorkers. So what say we bury the NYC/Miami argument for good?
