Boycott Space......anyone Down??

[sgtfury]

ANYONE DOWN FOR A BOYCOTT OF SPACE?? F*CK THAT PLACE....

[attomic]

My biggest problem is the door. My girlfriend works in the industry and has an ID to prove it....they still didnt comp her and we went directly to the manager. This is a direct insult to a 5 star, world famous hotel and to all the customers they send over. So for this kind of stupidity......PHUCK SPACE!

[bbflux]

Unbelievable!!!! But, hey, did you see the poll that was done on this board. Space won, hands down. I just don't get it. At least no one can say that space gets my money. The only time I have EVER payed to go to that club was for Digweed and I TOTALLY REGRET that move. It'll never happen again. IT WON'T!!!!

[shroomy]

Yeah... boycot space..

right after mekka...

and maybe PVD....

etc....

I view them as a necessary evil....

[sgtfury]

and as the discussion continues...the spacedude is conspicuous by his absence

[andrewthomas]

I BEEN GOING TO SPACE EVERY WEEKEND FOR 6 MONTHS AND YESTERDDAY GUESS WHAT

I FUCKIN STAYED HOME

MIGHT BE DOING THAT AGAIN NEXT WEEK

OR ATLEAST TILL THEY GET THIER ACT TOGETHER..

[pod]

I'm going to Mekka, and I'll stop in to support edgar and oscar, but I may just be doing the same thing you all are doing.

Honestly, imagine if someone gave the lot of us some investment capital to open an establishment...ok hold that thought...

Unfortunately, I couldn't agree w/ you more man...

Space is gonna keep us coming back, even w/ all the BS we deal with when we go there.

Why?

Oscar G. and Edgar V.

8/10 Mekka

9/1 Danny Tenaglia

10/12 PVD

10/13 Mauro Piccoto

It's kind of a love/hate relationship.

I don't understand everyone's problem with Space. I have been going there ever since it opened and I have Never EVER had a problem. I'm starting to think that Space isn't the problem. Maybe its the people that are complaining. COuld be you are the ones at fault. I just don't understand. PEACE

[x-t-c]

well johnny, you must be one of the lucky ones who havent had a problem there...i too have been going there on a regular basis for the past year and have had very few problems at space...but the fact that someone should even encounter any type of problems when your going out to have fun is totally unneccesary..

but yet everyone is right, people are not gonna stop going b/c of the talent they got coming in ...its a win/lose situation, you see the dj who's spinning on any given night, but yet where paying these jerks who work at space salary....

if one person complains, you can say it’s an insolated incident. when several people complain, it’s a problem. your assumption that the problem lies, within the people complaining; is quite presumptuous of you. it’s great, that you have never had a problem at space. unfortunately, for a majority of us; that has not been the case. the place brings in great talent; no one will deny that. regrettably the most apathetic, and egotistic people, in the industry, run the club. will this stop me from going to space, no. I love dance music too much; to let some club, or persons, effect my desire to enjoy myself.

Nah..... don't think so. Let me explain. . . I went to space for the first time with a pretty open mind. I had a comp. but they didn't take it. I figured, "OK, it's Digweed. Special event, this can slide". Oh, and BTW, Crobar will take their comps. even when they have guest DJs spinning. Shadow will let you in on a guestlist. Anyway....

Next, Aeroplano gets shit at the door for a beanie cap he's wearing. YES, A FREAKIN' HAT! and his friend, who's visiting from Puerto Rico has to buy a Space T-shirt b/c he's wearing a muscle shirt and that just wouldn't fly with the doorman. Who's fault was that? I think it's the poor doorman's (with the bad sense of fashion) fault. C'mon...a Deisel-type mucscle T?

Now we're inside and the crowd gets progressively worse and worse. I'm getting poked and grabbed on the dancefloor and on the way to the bathroom. Maybe alot of the chicks that go there expect that and like it. But, HEY!!! try to have some conversation with the girl first and find out if she's that type! Then I talk to Stacey and Loraine and ask, "Is it just me???" They both agree that the men are especially agressive.

I won't even get into the horrid graphics on the wall. I've heard that these are gone, however.

The list goes on.....

It was an all in all bad experience. I was so sorry I paid for that. The following time I went to space was for the Bliss event. Maybe it was because it was a Tuesday night, but, the crowd and vibe were SOOOOOO DIFFERENT! I really had a wonderful time but was forced to conclude that weekends at space must really suck because 75% of their patrons are assholes who just got paid and know where to go for booze and chicks to grab. NOT MY SCENE. Anyway, to answer your question, was it any of our faults? No way, hon. These people are real dicks and you've just been very lucky.

I'm still considering DT on Sept. 1st but I'm hesitant to give it the final YES because of the whole Digweed experience. I have a feeling Danny Tenaglia just may be more crowded and just as bad a crowd because of the venue. I'm just not up for that kind of nonesence any more. I know I'm basing my opinion on just 1 night but I'm no lab rat. 1 zap is all it takes for me to not go back to the candy again.

Sorry for all the rambling on..... had to vent. Thanx! :D

he's wearing a muscle shirt and that just wouldn't fly with the doorman

I saw this happen yesterday. The doorgirl said "Sorry, but we don't allow people to wear 'gay tshirts' here." to a guy right behind me.

I could have slapped her for that comment...not that I advocate violence against girls, but in my mind she at least deserved a quick 'that was uncalled for, door-bitch!'.

As for jonny's comment that maybe we're the source of the problem, that's highly unlikely...like tony said, if one of us was bitching, maybe, but several of us are, and lots of people outside of the clubplanet community are, too. More than likely, jonny's just been lucky, or he's in bed with someone at Space....even people I know who can just walk up to the door, ask for <name deleted>, bitch about the place.

I had a bit of hope when "Spacedude" was on the board, but that seemed to be a ploy. Security still sucks, even to the point of harassing off-duty clubworkers and DJs (yesterday I saw them giving Cedric and Stefan along with Seth the photographer shit for standing behind the DJ booth @ the patio..) on a regular basis.

I'm almost scared to go to Mekka, since there's going to be some issues with the kids overdoing things, and security is probably going to overreact. The door hasn't changed a bit, still a bunch of bullshit with our Eurotrash friend...geez they fire the BHB and put in a known fuckwit in her place. I can only wish they could read this, but Stephan probably gets perplexed with the power switch on a computer, much less dialing in (DSL, cable, or a T3 would probably melt his brain) to the internet...

They probably don't think we're to be taken seriously, that all's we do is hide behind our flatscreens and bitch...but I seriously think that the chickens are gonna come home to roost on the Space issue....they'll accidentally fuck over a person who wields power on the club scene, and it'll be Shawn Lewis (who?) time for Space.

It's honestly strange though. I've met the top management and ownership of Space, and they're all stand up guys, it's their subordinates that are out of hand!

[digital7]

I really don't care too much about the place to waste my time and write about it .. the only thing I could say is, Oscar G, Edgar V, great sound system, great lighting .. thumbs down to everything else ... and johnny, for you to write and say we're the root of the problem could be right since you've had no quams with the place, however, this is not an isolated issue at hand here ...

[angeleyes23]

I feel your pain I hate when those dam guys feel they can grab you or come up in your face.....I have never felt fear and in Space to be honest ....those creeps scare me.....I see now I'm not the only one that thinks so......

WELL JOHNNY U MUST BE ONE OF THOSE FUCKIN GEEKS KIDS THAT BE GOING TO ALL THE CLUBS THAT DONT MIND STANDING HOURS IN LINE AND U DRESS IN ALL BLACK WITH A CORNY WHITE T SHIRT, WITH UR GAY ASS HAIR DEW..

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO DRESS IN WHATEVER THEY DAMN WELL PLEASE ,WHO BEEN IN THE SCENE WAY BEFORE ALL THIS SHIT STARTED GOING DOWN AND NOW THAT WE HAVE SOME ASSHOLES TELLING US WE CANT DO THE THINGS WE WANT TO DO JUST CAUSE THEY COME INTO THE PICTURE IS NOT RIGHT.

I WEAR SLEAVELESS SHIRTS EVERY DAMN TIME I GO OUT AND NOW THEY TRYING TO SAY I CANT

HAHAHAAAAAAA

I WEAR CAPRIS, THEY TRYING TO SAY I CANT

HAAAAAAAAA

WAYS AROUND EVERYTHING ILL WEAR PANTS AND A SLEAVED SHIRT ONCE I GET IN ILL TOSS THAT SHIT IN THE GARBAGE AND WEAR MY CAPRIS AND SLEAVELESS SHIRTS THAT I HAVE ON UNDERNEATH....

FUCKKKKK THE SYSTEM

[pod]

Andrew just made a valid point. The reason why we bitch is because we grew used to a certain level of service at various other venues around miami, including Space. We're complaining because a few months ago, we were all pro-space to the extreme...

WHAT!!!!! George (current owner of space) was the original owner of the Warsaw Ballroom!!! You've got 2 be joking!!! LOL

[pod]

That's what I thought. George probably woulda canned her if he heard her talking like that. Is there some sort of door-bitch assembly line I don't know about? Probably right next door to where they manufacture boy bands, and a block away from wherever candyravers come from.

[calix]

My oh my!

Do I sense hostility? I wouldn't want to be your enemy.

Yet, Everything I have read is true.

At the root of it all, it is just a party. A party has a host and has guests. The job of the host is to ensure that the guests are having a good time. I don't think they are living up th their end of the bargain.

LET STUDIO 54 REST IN PEACE. We don't need another one. We don't need long lines, a hassle at the door, a dresscode, ''special guest lists", bitchy staff, rude crowds, etc. ,etc. ,etc.

For some reason most clubs have used this as the formula for "attracting" patrons. The mentality being that if you see a shitload of people sweaty and pissed off and piled one ontop of the other at the door, they must really want to get in bad. Therefore, that club must kick ass. So let's go there.

Old and pointless.

They must get with the program, WAKE UP!!!!

New Formula: happy people = $

[johnny13]

Hey andrewthomas, sorry about ya. Have fun wearing your capris and waiting in line while im inside blowing up with my hot ass girl

[pod]

while im inside blowing up with my hot ass girl

That statement alone seemingly pegs you as one of those assholes that go to space just to pick up girls and get 'em fucked up.

[bassboy]

OK, I know that I am new down here, but I have been to Space 4 times already, and with the exception of Diggers the place has had major problems.

The dress code thing I do not understand. They need to be crystal clear about that.

But the crowd that is coming in seems less and less music oriented, and more and more drug/girl hunters. The popularity of that fucking foghorn is a perfect example that people there do not know music!

I have seen this cycle before in NYC. The Tunnel was the phattest club around, but then began attracting a thug/drug crowd....were worse and worse at the door, and now that place is a graveyard.

And do you know happened to all of the people that had similiar views like those expressed in this thread?

They went to Twilo. And that's when it blew up.

Maybe something else will come along down here and show Space that being on top in the club scene is a short life.

[calix]

A little bedtime story....

A WEEKEND IN THE LIFE OF PEPE "EL GUIDO" JUSTGOTPAID.

Yo homie what ups? Sheck it out. It's Friday night and I jus got my paysheck. Yo like I'm rich and shit. A whole $47.50 before taxes. Now I can hop the bus to the mall to git me that faux silk shirt thats all the rage up at Space and shit.

Damn, now I'm broke. So I'll jus pop off to the pawn shop to pawn my gold chain. So like, now I got enough to pay the $40 cover at Space tonight.

Shit, my beeper is blowin up. My only friend that ever pages me has hit me up 10 times already. Lemme call him. "Yo, Dog(real name: Chelo "la loca" Gotnolife) waz the haps? " " Yo, like we kickin it to Space or what?" (translation: I'm gay and I would like to have hot sex with you). "definately, dog. There'll be all kinds of honeys in the spot tonight" (translation: I'm a repressed homo and would love it if you would do it with me.)

Bam! It's been 3 bus transfers and a hop on the metrorail, but I made it. Long line at Space as usual. So lemme put on my " I'm all that and a bag of chips, attitude". Bust out with the cell phone that ain't even hooked up and pretend to call lots of girls.

So now I'm inside. No hassle at the door cause I look and act just like everyone else. I am a nobody. I really like this place cause no one gives me shit, hell they dont even notice me.

I have no idea who the Dj is cause I aint here for the music, I jus wanna pinch a couple of asses on the dance floor cause I cant get none of my own. I tell all my one friend that I got lucky with this fly bitch, but in reality I just felt up some dude's ass.

Shit 4 am already, so I go home empty handed again. And broke as a bitch. Now I'm bored.

I got a cool idea. Lemme go up on the clubplanet board and tell people how cool I am cause I gots the hookups at Space. Since they cant see me through the computer they can't laugh at my silly ass. Maybe I should go masturbate now. (to gay porn).

Hope you enjoyed little kiddies, now good night.

[johnny13]

POD, FYI I said "blowing up with my girl"........AKA "MY GIRLFRIEND"..........get a clue............please if you don't like Space then don't go back there.......very simple concept.
