Unreal....

Even the sign is overkill in my books... honestly, no one has to go to a nightclub and if you find that the music is too loud you are free to leave. There is no onus on the club to provide you with earplugs nor do I suspect that providing free earplugs to all patrons would be a profitable venture. I can certainly see making earplugs available for sale at the club but the club has no responsibility for protecting the ears of the patrons.

A 1$ ear plug dispenser should be mandatory in clubs... that should fix this issue.

next we will have illiterate people showing up at book stores demanding free lessons in reading skills.

Great idea. Win / win.

Dear Mr. Club Owner..

You do realize the guicker my friends and I get into your establishment, the more money you will make off of us. Making us line up for an ungodly amount of time does not create a buzz about your club. It actually makes me want to set it on fire.

Please and thank you.

just worth mentioning that ear plugs are available at footwork for $1 and have been for awhile. sold at the coat check in the winter and main bar in the summer (when coat check is closed).

wow.

Originally posted by jon jon (I'm not a bar owner, but I can interject quickly on this point) holding the line is something we are adamantly against at Footwork... the earlier, the better! we also push a 12am guestlist cutoff time as incentive for our patrons to come early + get cozy in da club and get their groove on...

The thing I don't get about holding a line is that line is full of people dying to get inside and start buying overpriced drinks.

I get they are doing it for appearance's sake but I can't imagine how the "hype" of a big line outside your club offsets the minutes ticking away with the bar being empty. Plus the big line has the potential to turn people off of the idea of going just as much as it might make your club look like a "must see" to others.

I agree it shouldn't be expected that the club is at fault if they don't provide hearing protection. But it's definitely a nice courtesy, and there's nothing wrong with asking for that courtesy in this thread.

the problem is that people see it as a right and even start invoking legalities into it.

making a business decision to hand out free ear plugs is one thing, to demand it be compulsory or a responsibility is another.

I don't think anyone in here is demanding it be compulsory or a responsibility.

Most people from what I've read just want it as a courtesy like Sarah said.

provide a wingman service to help me tour the club and pickup/bang whoopbag bitches all night

Dear owner bro,
check out this club idea.
so yo you know when you're at the club and you gots a fresh fockin aircut and you just want to bang some whoopbag bitch?
so you rollin round the club, introducin yourself to every fine young woman in der.but your boy, he doesnt have the fresh aircut or the glassess that you can sorta see you're eyes trhough but do shit all for protection and hes basically not on his game that night. Hes cock blockin you without even knowing cause hes comin off as some super dork loser. well the club will provide a wingman service!
so you can tell your buddy to scram you superdork and you got this new wingman thatll fuckin big you up and introduce you to every skank hoe that wnats to feel your biceps. He'll basically be a PROFESSIONAL wingman, a support guy while you scoutin the scene for some underage teens


now thats a fuckin club idea bra

What he said. I (obviously) could not (did not) say it better myself.

Originally posted by jon jon we've had a couple crazy weekends lately (a few nights come to mind that seemingly came out of nowhere!) and sometimes a rush of people trying to make said guestlist cutoff can create a line + bottleneck in getting people inside... it's something we're always tweaking and trying to improve on...

Yeah I think it is usually the rush between 11:30 and 12 that I seem to get caught in. It also does seem to be fairly random as to which nights have the biggest lines. Like some nights I go to see someone who I consider a 'big' DJ (ie. Derek May) and I barely wait in line, and then other times I go to see people who I have barely heard of before (ie. Edu Imbernon and Koyu) and I wait in line for 30 mins.

Its just really frustrating being only like 10 feet back in line only to see them let 3 people in, wait 5 mins, let another 3 people in, and so on.

I know there is a big rush right around that time but maybe getting a few more security guards outside to pat people down or something might be able to reduce the bottleneck a bit.

Dear m. club owner,

Could you please devise a system where no busboys will have to walk thru the dance floor with disgusting half empty beer bottles and glasses spilling over us your dear clients? Could you at least get the message across that getting pushed around by them busboys is not cool, at least could you tell them to lay off the speed?

Regular patron
