MissDiva Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 No, actually the same staff from LIFE moved over to Spa right when Life closed - I worked the last night, NYE 1999 into 2000, then Spa began.........I actually think it was around April 2000 that Spa opened, they took a few months off after the closing to re group..........I lived on 13th and University actually What an area huh - miss it!!!!Spa was a mess (the entire thing - not talking about the door) compared to every Steven Lewis event that went on back from the 90's and esp from the same nights moved from Life - wasn't the same. Im not talking about someone who never went to Life and showed up at Spa, to them it would def. be a cute place, Im comparing the two. Life was a club, a lounge, all types of ppl/music/vibes/events/ mixed everything up into one - spa didn't even come close, for many reasons, but mainly b/c of the space itself... anyway a whole diff tangent My bf just works @ Maze - I only go to keep him company or on special events aka Peter for White party etc - I wasnt making comments on how places are in Southbeach, just stating how TOO many places open up and not enough ppl to go around. Opium, Bed, and Pearl were cute before but are a little tired now IMO (when you live here, its different than coming to visit and only going to these places everya few times a year) but the nik.beach scene got tired a while ago - way too much of just what you describe, trying way too hard In any case - lets discuss something more fun, like Arena ~ lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobecrobar Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 O born/raised @key biscayne (c. grove dude) from 88 - 99every year I breath 6 months of air in sobe then nyc for winterwmc '04 A+ economy for sobemaze & arena Just doen'st cut it for mei even read some dude here talking about DEEP in nyc - lmao.....Deep in nyc layout was copied from this HUGE Upscale Lounge in D.R. here is the diff: D.r. lounge opened 4 years ago - deep opened 4 months ago LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissDiva Posted December 17 Report Share Posted December 17 What Arena are you talkin about - I was making a joke referring to Arena @ Palladium in the mid 90's w/ Junior V (anyone who knows me knows why) Basically saying shit went downhill after 98ish..Im losing your point about clubs being copied - IMO everything is copied from everything, it's 2003 and clubs have existed for so many years that ideas are recycled again and again, IMO again I think IBIZA clubs are what a lot of designers strive for and my favorites being Pacha and Space Ibiza - I can understand why!Really is irrelevant where it comes from, if it works it works, When Danny first started at Vinyl it was a big ugly empty basement w/ no promotion (aside from Rob) and it WORKED x 100000 because it just was great - no help needed.........These days places try way too hard and oversaturate themselves w/ promoters/ideas and its too much of something that just doesnt work..........& for the 3'd time, I am not saying Maze is GOOD I'm saying my on random events w/ someone good spinning, it's good re: the music. (as is anywhere w/ someone good spinning) Jesus christ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissDiva Posted December 17 Report Share Posted December 17 I though Amnesia and Priv were both massive and nicely done - Manumisson/Monday was a great thing to experience but CHEESEY crowd - I think it started turning cheesey in 99 when E had the Ibiza special lolSpace Ibz. is the people/vibe/energy/lineup/consistency - overall just did it for me, didn't have to impress w/ all of the stuff that other places did (shows, dancers) To me , THAT is impressive - when you have nothing but a plain club, and make it so good w/ just the people, music and energy... that's 100x more impressive/amazing time then paying people to entertain you by dancing around on stilts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissDiva Posted December 17 Report Share Posted December 17 Agreed...you can't explain why 2390482304 sweaty european w/some americans thrown in mushed together happy as can be dancing for 20 hours str8 is the BEST you can get - I remember the last few days of summer 2001 after the attacks, Carl Cox on the terrace, It was so much energy the place was burstingggggggggggggg...........As much as I love NYC & USA nothing compares to that feeling!!!!

Is different i guessThe original flavor of a club was amnesia IMO, due to the aRchitectual design on both rooms of the club up to and indlucing the original foam party at amnesia.Manumission & circo Loco at privilege with their dj on top of the swimming pool was OK... the show is amazing.after, after, after hours with dt at dc10 then eden speechlessel divino was okbtw their locals called it eivissa, you probably saw the name of the airport when you got back to the states.

bumpdaddy Posted December 17 Report Share Posted December 17 You know.... if nightlife in NYC doesn't start changing for the better...its a perfect excuse to stay home through the winter... Where it's warm... and not outside freezing your ass off in front of a place you might not even get into...and get abused by some thug at the door.... I was just out with some freinds... and someone who I know very vell.... not the type of person who exaggerates a situation.... just confirmed what alot of people here are saying.... The people at your door have very serious attitude problems... very unprofessional... and condescending... I wouldn't normally beleive it... but this is coming from someone who was once a doorr person at a very upscale venue in Chicago during the mid/late 80's and is familiar with your other clubs... It's just wrong ... I guess I wasn't exposed to the harsh reality of it all because I was scurried in by someone who was there to write a review and treated differently... I'd be reluctant to go back after what I heard at dinner tonaight......no matter how great the place is..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
