Originally posted by DisBejS yeah seriously. and theres gonna be so much police activity down there with ultra letting out. any clubs in big cities tend to be in the more industrial areas.. i don't think people should be too worried

no offense but if you guys have never been there then listen to the people that have many many many times. is there area the worst...no. the area between the water and space isnt that bad. thats where you will encounter the bums. wander off a few blocks west of space and deeper into overtown and find yourself in the middle of the hood. north of space isnt any better either.

Last year when Sunday School, which is located in overtown off of 14th st, we were standing in group talking and a cop came up to us and told us to keep moving because there were reports of people getting held up at gunpoint a couple blocks north of us and the strip of clubs. Tons of cops cars in the area. We walk just south of that area to where are car was parked and sure enough there were more hold ups up the block.

This area has a reputation in miami for a reason. Yea big clubs that stay open late into the next day do well industrial areas, the middle of nowhere, and the hood...all for the same reason. People dont call the cops in the hood or there just isnt someone around to call the cops. You dont get the same kind of complaints that you get on the beach.

Dont be dumb. Keep aware of your surroundings like you should be doing anywhere you are. Stay on the main streets. Be careful and You will be fine and have a blast in the process.

Minimized our losses after hearing about the Sat show... sold 2 tickets separately at $169 each, leaving just under $40 total profit per ticket.

At the Ultra after-party a few years ago, it got shut down at 7am and stupid me thought it would be a good idea to walk to hail a cab instead of going with my friends and a certain DJ that already had transportation lined up. BIG MISTAKE. Walked right into the hood, used my phone GPS to try to make it out of the hood. Got yelled at by the hoods and almost got jacked for anything and everything I had on me. Not a good feeling knowing your 10 seconds away from losing it. On the plus side, I did make it safe out of the hood and didn't get taken for my funds. Learned my lesson never to venture out alone again regardless of what frame of mind I am in.

dude overtown is not what it was 20 years. can shit happen? sure. but shit can happen ANYWHERE! you're making it sound like carol city or florida city man. and its NOTHING like that. i wouldnt even drive through those neighborhoods in a fucking tank! but i have no problem strolling through a bit of overtown before or after a show.

Originally posted by trojans14 I get a feeling a lot of people are overblowing the dangerousness of this area. I've never been there so I can't say for sure, but there's clubs in this area so it can't be that bad.

its one tiny block with a couple clubs and a strip club across the street. the other clubs (vagabond, ice palace, etc) are just randomly scattered. theres basically nothing there except for those club themselves.

Originally posted by ccastro86 agreed for the most part. However, those downtown miami bums are like mutants.

fuck i cant find the pic with the bum wearing the pvd tshirt.

edit: BAM!

Bwhahahaha, my PVD bum pic from 2006.... That was the most epic moment ever

somehow i knew you were gonna be the first to reply. when i couldnt find it i was gonna text you for it but then i found it.

my best bum moment was wmc03. i was heading to space for pvd and totally forgot i had a j in my cig pack and got too scared to bring it in. i had only been to space less than a handful of times before then so when a bum came up to me asking for money i offered him the joint and he was like "aww man, dont you got any xanex or some shit?" a picky bum when it comes to drugs. awesome.

HAHAHAHA amazing pic. Miami bums always crack me up. I still say the majority of them look like mutants.

Is overtown carol city or city? fuck no. I would rather people just take precautions. Drunk/high people exhausted from party for several days and dont know miami can be easy prey. You are right though, in all my years of partying at space (summer 2003...maybe it was 2004), I have had very few problems. The occasional aggressive bum, but that has been on random nights in downtown where space wasnt part of the night. But you do seem to hear stories every year about people having problems...cars broken into, muggings, etc. Last year was a little bit of an eye opener for me first hearing about his going on down the street, walking away to avoid it, then seeing it actually happening

SH*t happen anywhere even @ the most safe places
last week I almost got Stub on the club @ Gabriel & Dresden

Place was packed and was no where to move this dude come on front of me with his Super hot GF . Long story short : The dude never move /no dance just keep heavy drinking was almost on the front part of the club next to a VIP area ( The MID is well recognize here for have so fk up dance floor w/ a huge VIP area right on the middle of the Dance floor )

Anyway the girl star making some moves and star a conversation I try to include the dude but he wont even look back ( Keep drinking ) One thing lead to another the girl and I we where dancing > The dude took a knife out of his pocket and grab it on his hand without looking me !
The girl beg him not to do that and almost force him to leave the scene . She cry beg him to please not to do it . I was freking out was no where to move :O So finally she drag the dude w/ her and leave . Was the most panicking sec on my life in long time . !!! Right after a guy hit a girl and the star a fight !!! :O All that while G&D trowing " Beautiful thing's " LMAO !!

Regarding of Miami and the bums I went to toolroom knights few WMC ago I was a little wasted I lost my keys while we park and a bum come to me and say _ Is this ur keys ??
I almost kiss him !! I give him 50 bucks and he try to kiss me hahahaha I shake his hand and half hug instead

Ps) By the way why u called them Bum ? I called Homyless

Ya man, my eyes naturally skip cubsnation (or his twin bros) posts. Not worth the brain cells of trying to figure it out.

Now I get it ....

Wantickets replied to my shipping question: "Tickets will start to ship this week."

How long does the process take... hope they also finish shipping this week! x)

Wantickets holds these tickets till the promotor says its ok to send them out. Kinda crappy wantickets just sells them as "FedEx 3day shipping" without telling you. Last year for the SHM tickets they said "won't be shipped till march" even when we bought the tickets in December.

If wantickets doesn't get them to you in time and If this is your first time selling or messing up with stubhub then stubhub will let you get by with one usually without penalty. The only penalty you will pay will be losing your ticket sale which compared to their terms and conditions is actually pretty good.

Next time you sell tickets on stubhub might I suggest you do what I do and list them with the last possible ship date on there. My experience has showed that it doesn't hurt your ticket sale potential.

Thx for the advice, will keep it in mind for next time!...
Definitely blaming Wantickets for the delay if I need to do some explaining...

Likewise.

Just wondering :

Got my tickets shipped notification from wantickets for my "originals" that I purchased

Wantickets usually takes a day or two to actually ship them past this point but have been known to ship the same day they printed the shipping label

Thanks :

I did that and it say this :
This order has not yet been shipped. Once your order has been shipped, you will receive another e-mail with the tracking #.

I guess the other one was a spam.

i was not an SHM original and i got an email from wantickets that it was shipped today. Arriving next tuesday if that helps anyone.

Originally posted by civicstyle Are tracking numbers provided for those that selected regular mail?

I doubt it, as someone who ships a lot there is a way to ship a first class "parcel" with tracking but the post office does not allow delivery confirmation on first class "letters". They only allow letters to be sent registered which would cost $12. Sending a 1 ounce package (not a letter) with delivery confirmation cost $1.64 at its cheapest.

Besides, wantickets charged $1.50 for regular mail, i am sure that is to cover the cost of handling, materials, and postage.

I am surprised wantickets even offered that option honestly because the burden is on them (the seller) to provide tracking in the case of a credit card dispute. It does not matter AT ALL if the buyer cheaped out and decided to not pay extra for premium shipping.
