lotto Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 Well Miami has Crobar Nikki Beach and Space and there all great places to have a good time! now Voodoo they never really have guess superstar Djs and 93.1 is always there or in some other club playing the same shit! and not even the best club arround here can come close to Space or Crobar!

coachjames Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 I think the main reason is that FTL and WPB tend to be more "family", conservative type of places. I think you're more like to find another Chuck E. Cheese in FTL than a superclub. In WPB, I would expect another theatre before a superclub. They just don't have the clientele up there.If you look at other metropolitan areas, it takes a lot of people to support a superclub. Either you have to be a major clubbing destination, like Ibiza, or have a huge population, like New York City, to support more than a couple superclubs. All of the SE Florida tri-county area probably only has enough population to support a few and they all happen to be in Miami, I would guess because it is the largest city in the area.It also has a lot to do with the local gov't. They have a huge influence on whether or not you have a good nightlife scene. While it is not great down here in Miami and Miami Beach, it may be that the political climate in FTL and WPB is even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolahotass Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Its too bad they can't get some house music at venu..and it should be renamed the edge and have a sick ass dj...but its lauderdale:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 That mentality will get you nowhere in this industry. Build it and they will come only works in the movies.The population base does not exist for a superclub up in WPB or Liquordale. Nevermind the legal climate, and the fact that Miami has 2 or 3 that draw from all over the state on a weekly basis. Think about it, there's a finite amount of dance music enthusiasts in the tri-county area, and each time a club opens up, it further subdivides the pie.

funketeer Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 It's kinda painful for some peepz on this board to accept the fact that only a sign of senility would provoque the urge to go and live in Ft Lauderdale...either that or a marked need to blend in an homgenic crowd with absolutely no spice whatsoever...woohoo...Ft Boredallday!

pod Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Funk, that's exactly what I'm getting at. There's a few nice small spots up there, but a superclub would not work, especially considering the competiton to the south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotto Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 yeah it might divide it some what but when Venu or Voodoo do have a great Dj playing the place gets fucking packed! it wont Hurt Miami that much and there are alot of Locals who would go to a local club then down to Miami! We have Plenty of People to fill up another club. WPB and Lauderdale are huge and Plenty of Money Too! These Club owners do not want to spend money In thier Venus and people get bored because these club owners are cheap I mean the club dont have to be super big, But at least they should have great lighting and kickass soundsytem. That alone is a start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funketeer Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 It's funny how the subject keeps coming around...forget about clubbing in Lauderdale...go to a sports bar, watch the game, talk sports and politics...leave clubbing to us Miamians...plus, you can get hurt...don't forget HOW OLD YOU"RE GETTING!!!!Just look at those streets, so vibrant and full of live! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybroad Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Most "Superclubs" as you put it, are in MAJOR cities... Ft. Lauderdale is the powerboat capital of the world, no place for a Superclub. j/k Plus all the club-owners have NO balls to book any talent except the occasional booking of Oscar or Edgar at Voodoo, and that is only recently. Any other time a dj with ANY clout has come to Lauderdale, it's because a promoter dished out his own dough and took the chance him/herself. They are too afraid to go against the grain of the VERY commercial locals. It's not a build-it and they will come problem, it's build a nice venue with a friendly staff that can serve drinks and take some chances musically and try something new.. .maybe alittle a time, but at least try! And I can guarantee that even if there was a "Superclub" buil for Lotto, even the locals would rather go to Miami because most of the youngens that support the Super Talent find it "cooler" to say there going to Miami rather than supporting their own local scene!

pod Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Exactly...it's "cooler" to go to Miami as well. Liquordale clubs and venues don't really care in general...they're just drinkin' and fightin' places really...The superclub formula demands a very urban environment...you don't get that in the WPB/Broward area...it's too gentrified right now...WASPs come south, basically. So, I'd keep your gas card handy for the next five to ten years, because you will be making a lot of trips down south to catch any superclub action.

lolahotass Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 I like ft lauderdale the way it is... When we wanna focus on drinking and pigeon hunting, downtown Laudy is the bomb...... bar hop with drink in hand... now that rocks!!When music is the focus, I go to mama mia's when OG's in the hizzouse... or I hit up Sonar for matt spector or sheldon/vaughan... or when all else fails and I feel frisky, I make the drive south:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
