Don't forget at the end of the paper to address the ascendancy of Downtown Miami vs South Beach, starting this year. 8)

or how immigration and hip hop has ruined the scene in sobe that was already tanking since djs and clubs catered to drug use...

or how the cp crew has given trance a black eye..

i'd do a term paper on Chris Paciello and Shawn Lewis (guy that bought Krave and Chaos - - and now lost all his money and lives in Tampa or some shit)......from fame to obscurity, witness protection program and bankruptcy. :o

"what not to do"

-- you forgot the "married a Hialeah girl and got divorced within a month, followed by alimony payments"

but perhaps the easiest research info one would be Paciello since he made headlines when it turned out that he wasnt a guido .... but a NY crook (he probably lives in the woods of Nebraska these days).

oh i'd add Ingrid Casares too.

Shawn Lewis lost money on stupid deals..... always had the moocher club entourage of hot girls with him....(and i am sure they hardly know who he is these days).

I can hardly imagine what this guy spent his money on but just years ago he was on top of his game. Thats one reason why I give money to bums because you never know if you'll be in that position. Life seems to work in different ways, your on top of the world one moment then something happens and your living in poverty under a bridge.

Making that transition is probably one of the hardest things to do in life.

sex, drugs and clubs....thats where his money went. investing in clubs that made no money....i can go on and on.

he went from living alongside millionaires to trailer park in Tampa.

i dont know but you cant be too smart if you lose it that badly.

I told you, you couldn't afford our grilled cheese !, we don't take parties (even if it's only two people) under 1,000.00 ... sorry... try McDonalds.... ps that's 1,000 without labor, it will be an additional $ 400.00 (our minimum charge) for labor plus an 18% tip (on food cost) making your grill cheese $ 1,580.00

Kind of cracks me up to see somebody come in and ask about "nightlife" in South Beach, and you guys immediately assume that they mean dance music.

Saleen and Dan's responses that totally gloss over hip hop and imply that there are too many dark-skinned people and languages other than English and music that deviates too far from 130 BPM... Hilarious. A little sad but still very funny.
