Hate to knock everyone down, but seriously i see what happended to LP this weekend as a precurser of things to come.Possibly meaning a shut down and or major club sting operation during WMC...
At not just Space, but every club in the DT area..People that work for the city talk alot though and arnt as active as they say sometimes say,so we,ll see what happens.
It just seems funny the timing and all..Seems to me like why not do this earlier and make the message felt earlier,seems like they are gearing up for something bigger.I mean they just walked up in Space and arrested our most prominant nightlife club owner a week before the biggest club week in the world.......
MESSAGE FELT |
I think the timing is everything here. Ever since they broke ground on all those condos the issue of the noise of the downtown clubs has been coming up. The residents of these places must complain all the time. So why now? Simple, Miami doesnt want WMC. Every year about a month or two after conference there is some newspaper article or something about how the city is trying to stop WMC, and everyone freaks out.
If you are going to attack WMC, you have to strike at the venues for the events. The conference can be held anywhere, but people come for the clubs. Space and Nocturnal are the two biggest clubs downtown and shutting down aprox %25 of their available space is definitely going to hurt not only their reputation and appeal, but also their bottom line.
Not to mention the mess it will create for the clubbers. If you are basing the number of tickets you will sell based on the available capacity of the club and now your capacity is cut 25%, guess what? Thats about a thousand people standing inline who shouldnt be for hours and getting pissed about it. I'm sure the fire marshal will conveniently show up on friday and/or saturday night, just to make sure LP isn't going over the limit.
And of course lets not forget about the Sander Whores (myself included) who only want to see him in one place. If there is a place to see sander its early morning on the terrace.
Yeah, I'm pissed about it. It definitely makes me think twice about the $50 ticket i bought for friday night. Is it going to stop my from going? NO!!!
In fact, I have a plan: From now on, as we enter the downtown club district, lets fill our pockets with crack, meth, and smack. Then as you pass by all of those gazillion dollar high-rises, throw it up in the air and let it fall where it may. Lets make it rain drugs in downtown miami. Lets make it a paradise for every bum, junkie, crack-head, and speed-freak on the planet. Lets scare away all the yuppie pussies so that downtown can be what its supposed to be; a shitty ass part of town that no one wants to live anywhere near so brave entrepreneurs like Mr. Luis Puig can operate their clubs however they want to with impunity (so long as they pay off the Miami PD). We can fight back, and use the bums as our infantry and drugs as our ammunition, WHOS WITH ME!?!?!?!?
