The city is cracking down on clubs where there are sound complaints. Anyone know the status of Club Six? Last I heard it was going to close because it was still like 5db over the limit after they spent ike $200,000+ on sound proofing the place.
I know of other clubs who the city is hassling, too.
Back to the green room, in the end everything was kept in check. Just some people think they have the right to be in the booth, and don't see it as a privilege that you can get one night and not the next. Yeah, I personally get a lot of access...and yeah, sometime I even have to ask about it (cause it never hurts to), but I just about always say to whoever I am asking that they can so no. Never have any hard feelings and never hassle about it. And I've been told no before. Even at Spundae events. Sometimes it's just how things are.
Just because you know someone at the club, or know someone in the booth does not give you any right just to barge in. Feel free to come up and inquire at the door, but if you are told you can't come in without a wristband or at the very least w/o expressed permission, don't even bother arguing back. It's not going to help your cause.
One thing I caught a few times were people swapping wristbands when they would go down on the floor so their friend could come in. NOT COOL.
Ten15 needs to get designed wristbands like Ruby. I caught two people who tried to get in with wristbands of their own. If I didn't recognize a person or know how they got their wristband, I would straight up ask them where they got it and maybe even take a look at it. Totally busted two dudes trying to get in with wristbands that were the same color as the ones handed out, though the end of them (the sticky part) was different and because of that it was easy to bust them.
Yay Sean for bringing an entourage. :-p Big thanks to Robert for helping me work that out. Oi!
If someone says you need a wristband as you enter w/o realizing who you are (maybe because whoever is running the booth never got a good look at you), do not be disrespectul in return and all snappy. UGH. No hard feelings over that incident, though. 
For god's sake, do not do light shows in the booth. At least around me. I just see it as giving a bad perception about the club. The way I see it is that if you are given extra access, it's your responsibility to be respectful to the venue. What if some cop decided to take a stroll through the place (with the venue's permission) and walked in on that. How would that reflect on the venue. Maybe others are OK with it, but to me it's not cool.
If you have a wristband and are asked not to come in, just be patient. This is done when the booth gets too crowded/chaotic. It's not because you aren't wanted up there. It's just a matter of keeping things in check overall.
Oh jesus please paint the booth walls black again. Or maybe grey. The white walls are just weird, lol.
Next time if I do it again, I think I might be a bitch and print out a set of rules and post them on the doors (bringing multiple copies cause it's bound to get ripped down) to make the rules on if it's OK to just walk into the booth loud and clear.
Haha.
Wheeeeeeeeee......
It was a fun night overall, though. Guess that's what's important.
