I think love should just make it one giant room, and find a better place to have the coat check or the box office.

Knock down all the walls, that divide the place up , and put the dj booth at the very end. So if they are planning to do bottle service, they can have a vip section on the wall when you walk in and the on the sides of the place. I never really like that the place had a small lounge room away from the main room. I think it took away from what people should be there for, the music and the artist in the main room. And when the place was packed, some people couldn't bare to be in the main room to experience it.

weak! . Fraggle Rock is definitely part of what made love "Love".

The venue has been around since the 70's though, so I'm sure it's gone through many changes over the decades.

^^^ This actually sounds like a good idea. With Fraggle Rock already gone, turning Love into one large room is probably the next best idea. The VIP thing is FAIL though. Love just isn't big enough for a VIP/bottle service section. I think if I had bottle service, I'd at least like to be able to hear the music in the main room clearly from where my table was .

That is the effin WORST. One of my worst memories from there was being so crammed that I left the main floor for a bit. Then I find out that Zack played Pulsar-Cloudwalking and I almost had a toddler-aged-hissy-fit. LOL I was so mad!

One person says "bottle service" and everyone freaks out... Yes, I'm upset the cave's gone, but I didn't get any indication that they're going that direction, and TAs usually aren't reliable sources...

Not to mention, bottle service has been done there plenty of times... My friends spent a thousand dollars once at an event of mine and got bottles in the cave... So did TA's own Steven Neil, even had a bouncer keeping people out...

Don't freak out everyone, yes there's some changes I wouldn't have made, but the fact that Dubfire's there in a couple weeks, not to mention the same promoters (Dub War, Massive, Flawless, just to name a few) are still doing events there, don't lose your pants at the thought of it going non-EDM because a few people said the dirty word (bottle service)...

I could not really picture Love having any other style of music

I said bottle service but don't shoot the messenger, it was told by someone very reliable. Changes come when there is new ownership.

Word, I DID see some other changes, like new bartenders and some new managers, etc... A lot of people were complaining about the two new hot bartenders, they seemed out of it whacked haha...

One thing I wouldn't mind seeing happen at Love is weeding out some of the promoters that don't really do much numbers-wise and attract some of the ones that bring more to the table... Like, compare the draw a Blk Market Membership party does to one of those filler lineups Love has pretty often that brings 50 people into the place all night... Dub War brings big numbers too... That's the thing about that club that's always amazed me: one night you'll go in and the promoter of that particular night has 400 people in there... The next night, there's 100 people, it's really that DRASTIC, the difference from one promo group to another, in most cases...

I think Sullivan Room does a lot better job at keeping things regular and giving the right promoters more nights out of the month to do their thing...

Why the hell are people mad about hot bartenders? wtf

Would be nice if they got more of an older crowd there, times I went there I felt I was at a highschool dance

fffff, it doesn't have to be an 18+/19+ event to feel like a high school dance. Plenty of 'older' people acting like idiots can still kill the vibe of an event.

I don't know exactly what the plans for the former(! ) fraggle room are, but the change in management is true & has been true since Sept., and I just hope that whatever changes are made don't make Love lose the more intimate, underground feel that distinguishes it from other clubs. My hopes are iffy, but fingers = crossed anyway.

A lot of people are upset with the bartender changes. People liked the bartenders that were there and there really was no reason to get rid of them. I could walk up before and they just knew, vodka cranberry and a bottle of water, then more vodka cranberry, I like that. People like going where they are welcome and things are familiar.

I think blkmarket has success with that because of the way they market themselves with private events. When Love did some parties that you needed the pin to enter it was full, it worked because there was something exclusive about it(not just for Body and Soul, eww). It is a matter of marketing the right way for people that are actually interested in going out. It is also a matter of overcoming the vision of the new owner because this demographic is new for him.

I think Sullivan Room does well because it is consistent and because of the promoters.
