Yea I know all about the DT situation. It's fucked up. I love DT and have had some epic nights when he has been on the decks but in the same breathe I'll say fuck DT because he did us very dirty this year and fucked things up for us big time earlier in the year.
I do know its bs because I just told you guys its a remodel and is going to be closed for 3 to 4 weeks. There are also other things that leaked and had to erase because they weren't supposed to be out in public yet, but I know a lot of what is going on over there with what is about to happen.
I'm not disagreeing with anyone about the lack of talent lately but I'm also saying that the loft has been bringing some great and more underground djs. I used to be on the terrace every Sunday for years until the past couple months because the venue changed and it just isn't the same, that's why I don't go anymore unless its for someone I really want to see. I'll say it again Liebing was insane. The loft was busy but the vip wasn't full at all. I think I had everyone that was in the VIP last Saturday. Also the bars in the loft are never ever busy, that's why the bartenders fight to be on the terrace or mainroom. I always head to the loft to get a drink if I don't have a bottle. When I left at 6.30 Saturday though the Terrace was pretty busy but nothing like if Patrick would of been playing that morning.
There was nothing better than OG in that mainroom and those were magical nights that stayed slammed in there till the early hours of the morning. A lot of you on here were giving me shit when I was defending OG in a different thread sometime back but he made that old mainroom and no one can take that away from him. I would love for OG to come back to Space but that just isn't going to happen anytime soon, since he just signed a 2 year contract with Opium Group.
Fact of the matter is, I think a facelift will be good for the venue. I didn't really get into details about the renovation because I was twisted and didn't feel like getting into all but I hope the mainroom comes back. I do know about some of the future bookings coming later in the year and I must say they are very very good and will be something completely different than the normal down here. When the time gets closer I let some of them out of the bag.
I'm not defending the slack bookings at all but I can see the coin from two sides when it comes to the business aspect. Go ahead and blame LP you want for the bookings but at the end of the day it is a business and why the hell is he going to spend 15,000 to 20,000 on booking these huge names and turn less profit when he can book 4 local guys or smaller names for less money and at the end of the day triple his profits. It's a business and LP knows whoever he books that the club is going to be packed and make money. Everyone also forgets that a lot of these guys you used to see at other places around town are on EXCLUSIVE contracts, not much club owners can do when it comes to that. Also when you have to go through agencies to get a lot of these bigger names, the agency will make you book 2 or 3 of their smaller names, that are still very pricey, to be able to book who you want.
As for the roof on the Terrace thank the 18 people that live in the condos around the area for that. It's for sound proofing so they could keep it going without being hassled and shut down on Sunday mornings. It's just not the same all closed off now.
To some it up, all I'm saying is they don't give two shits if there's 25 of us sitting here saying the bookings suck because there is 3,000 other people that will be in the venue every weekend spending money.
End of rant. Now I'm looking for to August 21st with Alex Kenji on the Terrace and I'm really looking forward to November 20th
