Originally posted by Nocturnal Vibe From what I was told last week...the upstairs won't be completed for this show. They are making one side of the upstairs closed in with glass so they can play hip-hop. Don't ask me why! Then I understand they are to expand the other side and make it all VIP tables, with less standing room. The idea is to compete with Lotus and make their VIP actually hard to get into. That is, unless you buy a table. Quite lame if you ask me.

Let me get this straight... Amp is remodeling to compete with a club that has a musical vibe that borders on schizophrenic???

BAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

I saw Amp resident DJ Mondo visiting Lotus and if I were him and heard Lotus' whiplash shifting between trance & hip-hop, I would've gone back to my management and told them to stop the remodeling because Lotus wouldn't be around another month.

(I actually feel... well, disappointed. Lotus' claim to having a Miami house/trance sound could be a unique discriminator in Tampa. But they're so screwing it up, I'm worried that people will get a bad impression and think trance has no viability in the Bay area.)

Originally posted by breakinbeats Why do people want things like this. Our scene is good as it is. Keeps the people who actully like the music in and ones who dont out. It is still underground as well, which makes it have a very cool vibe. I mean we are not getting blocked out of being able to see these big djs. Tiesto, Pvd, and others come to florida all the time, which make FL its own special place. If it happens it happens but I say keep the market machines out! The market changes the people change and i like you guys just the way you are, heh. 2centpie

Trancebrat said it best. We want a viable trance scene in the Bay area. (I, for one, would love a trance club AWAY from Ybor. Driving in/out of that area is a pain.) We'd like to have at least a few clubs where local talent like DJ Santana could spin stuff he loves. We'd like to have known venues for bigger names to come visit, so we don't have to drive 5 hours down to Miami. (No diss on Miami, but the round trip takes a LOT out of me. I'd like to be able to see Tiesto/Ferry/PvD then sleep in my own bed.) I don't think anyone's suggesting Tampa be "market machined" or totally transformed. But I would think an area as cosmopolitan as our could support more than just hip-hop and breaks.

I'll say. The outskirts of that city are nasty as fuck.

I could say the same about some areas surrounding Miami's Bayfront

Quite true, but I live NOWHERE near there.

We come across Aligator Alley, then hit I-595, I-95 then I-395. At what point do hit Dark Angel Land?

Right before I-595. That's the Land of Darkness where I reside.

Matt...I got the interview bro! Only a phoner, but it's still an interview. I'm replying to his press agent tomorrow to set something up.

So did you decide if you were gonna join us for HPC tomorrow night?

Sweet! Do you still need help coming up with questions?

Yup! The b-day party's just down a ways on Azeele, so I should make HPC easily. The only thing that might stop me is if some "introductions" a friend will be making to some of his co-ed co-workers goes extremely well... if you know what I mean...
