Black is minor leagues!


Recommended Posts

I went to Black last nite around 130 and there was a line around the block. I saw cop cars there and they really didnt seem to be letting anyone unless they were getting bottle service so I thought there was a possibility they were going to shut it down. I got in line anyway and had a vip tix for free admission before 2 as did a lot of people. They started letting people in a little after 2 but said that the guestlist was now closed and it was now $30 to get in. Then if you were a girl you got in right away with whoever you were with. Leaving 50 guys in line and having people driving by in their cars screaming sausage fest. We were told there were too many guys in there already so the line was closed for now for guys. We finally got in after standing in the cold at 330. I thought JP was ok, but a little sloppy, but that could have been because I wasnt in the mood anymore. Also upstairs was closed which I didnt quite understand.

Ok a few thoughts:

1) My understanding was that we were being held up in line because of the cops at 130. If that was the case then I would think a professionaly run club would ofer me an apology for the extra wait andmy guestlist pass along with everyone elses should have been honored despite it being past 2. Instead it looks like oh well you had to wait extra time and screw you now you pay $30.

2)I would think that you should be a little more concerned with how the line looks outside as opposed to just concentrating on the ratio inside. I understand that clubs like to create lines but it seems moronic to me to create a line of 50 guys. It looks horrible to people passing by to see a 'sausage fest'. I know I wouldnt want to go to that club that night or any time in the near future for that matter.

3)Absolutely no reason we had to wait over an hour to get in in the freezing cold after they started letting people in. It was getting brutal weather wise out there. It just seemed like amateur night - I would think you would want to treat your patrons a little better.

4)Maybe it was just me but it just struck me as the club was waiting to be closed at any minute. Just looked uncared for inside. Upstairs closed, It looked like a closet was open going up to the third floor. I dont know just whatever. I really cant say if JP was good or not - I honestly couldnt get into it.

All and all I love the music (when Im in the mood) but after being treated like a third class citizen I think I and a lot of the people on that line will think twice before going to Black again.

I thougth that the upstairs could have been closed because of Easter. But that makes the outside line stuff all the more ridiculous. JP could have very well been amazing but when your not feeling it your not feeling it, so it just sounded off to me. Also a 350 pound black guy in his 30's was doing door. Is that Paris? Either way I had heard some bad stuff ablout Exit at the door but never experienced it. I thought since JP was kind of in charge it would be different. But I guess its the same management. To me it just seems like you would have to go out of your way to drop the ball on this stuff. I just dont get it.

Rolled up at 1:00 to try out this bs "VIP member" card my buddy gave me that states "Reduced admission with card before 2 and line priveleges for ladies."

I walk up to some chick in front who informs me that the 2 girls I'm with can get in asap but my buddy and I have to wait online. Unless of course, we would like bottle service. "You guys can come in for $300."

After taking one look at the line that had 3 girls and 300000 guys, we went to Avalon and had an awesome night. I'll take cracked out chinese dudes over guidos any night of the week.

ok hear's a little friendly advice from an old timer.

FIRST:

i agree, it's bullshit - holding up the line till after the list closes so people have to pay or get a bottle.

it's been done for years and will keep being done.... (its a shady business)

if you get pissed and don't go in, there are plenty after you who will. thats how they get away with it.

SECOND:

it amazes me the mentality of people concerned about what the line outside a club looks like. ARE YOU PEOPLE FUCKING RETARDED???

the people outside ie: "cracked out chinese dudes, guidos, and loads and loads of single guys" are the people NOT IN THE CLUB!!

get it???? NOT IN THE CLUB!!!

maybe you're worried about being surrounded by hot girls and having fun while you're on line, but the mgmt of the club and people inside are concerned about the clientele INSIDE.

now don't get me wrong, i'm not defending black.

normally those rejects standing on line should prob never get it, but black needs numbers, big ones, so sooner or later they do get in.

FYI:

if you walk by ANY respectable nightclub that cares about who they let in, you'll see a line of guys outside.

the cracked out chinese dudes? well thats a bonus that comes with having a party in exit. they came with the lease - package deal

They got to stop holding up the line. Just let the people in.

jp does not own it.

jp's mgmt company has a short term lease of the space with the option to renew for a much longer period.

Look under no circumstances did I know it was going to be a 2 hour wait. Had I known there is no way I would have waited. The reason I even waited was because I dont get a lot of Sat. nights off and I know I like his music period. And as far as the person who said that the club is not concerned with how the line looks outside, then why would they create one in the first place. Of course they are concerned with the line outside - nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd. But my point is that if Im passing by a club the line is the vibe thats going to be inside. I understand that the really hot girls are probably getting in right away. But if I see 50 guys, no girls and its not a gay club - Im not going. I felt like this line was handled by a bunch of frat boys who didnt want any guys coming in to drink their beer. To think the line doesnt mean anything is the kind of thinking that the people at Black obviously subscribe to.
