Space34 To Close October 11th
e-mail this story to a friend...

We have now received final confirmation of the closure of Space34. This is what Space owner Louis Puig sent us tonight...

NO MORE SPACE AVAILABLE
“SPACE34 SHUTS ITS DOORS”

Lately, only negative press regarding Space34 has been gracing the pages of our home town newspapers.

Space34 pioneered the revitalization of Downtown Miami, tripled the area’s real estate value, brought over 5 million dollars in tax revenue and chased away the homeless and crack dealers from what was once a completely dilapidated area.

We won an award for “Best Night Club” and presented more world class DJs than any club in the US and not a word was printed. We sell more liquor than any other club in South Florida but all they can write about is water and ecstasy.

Over 3000 music loving, liquor drinking customers walk through the doors of Space34 every weekend but the media chooses only to focus on a hand full of partiers that choose drugs as their recreational vehicle.

Could this really be the only place in town where drugs are used? Who will be the target of their next “investigation”? What local business will they help shut down next?

I guess it is true, “nothing sells like negative press.” We refuse to be the topic of any more negative publicity and continue doing business in such a hostile environment.

We would rather shut down our doors than do business where we are not welcomed. The media will have to find a new scapegoat.

We are tired of being singled out and made an example of simply because we are the largest and most popular club in the Nation. We will no longer be the scapegoat for the drug problems plaguing our City, State and society at large.

No longer will Space34 be the target of misdirected and unwanted blame for the drug problems of our community. In schools, at work, on the streets and even in government offices, illegal drug use is rampant and abundant. It affects every part of our society.

The notion that Space34 and this nation’s night clubs are the source of drug abuse in our society is a blanket statement that is nothing short of ludicrous.

Listening to music and dancing is not a crime. Our government is using the unconstitutional Amber Bill / Rave Act / Crack House Law to try and shut down night clubs, concerts and public gatherings.

These establishments should not be blamed for the inefficiency of our nation to control the importation, distribution, sales and use of illegal drugs. Shutting down night clubs will not stop people from doing drugs.

Space34 will be closing its doors as of Saturday October 11 2003. Join us this week for our pre closing and the MURK CD Release Party.

There will be an official “Closing Party” next week starring Subliminal Records Erick Morillo. This will be the first time ever that Erick performs at Space34 and we are very excited and pleased to have him. He will be doing both Main Room and Terrace sets.

Joining Erick will be residents Oscar G, Roland, Markus Schulz, Tony Tone, Radamas.

The owner, management and staff of Space34 would like to thank everyone who supported and believed in us. A club is not a club without clubbers and a dance floor is just an empty floor without dancers. We would have never made it without you. Keep on dancing.


I still don't believe it!:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

ok seriosly this makes no sense....

i dont think this will last adn if it does i think they will reopen under a new name or something....

they make waaaaaayyyy to much money to let a lil or even a lot of bad press shut them down....

anyone that is a REAL business person would ignore the press....

thats just me 2cents though....

can't say this disappoints me...

quit bringing trance DJ's... they bring druggies :D

Let's face it... the ing staff of Space34 was selling drugs, and on the night my friend was spinning there for the cooljunkie.com contest, several of the staff were arrested for selling drugs... complete with their obvious clothing demonstrating that they were employed there...

now oyu expect me to cry for a club that doesn't take care of business without getting caught?

HAH.

I do my drugs as well, but have no pity on those who get caught... HAHHAHAHA

I didnt hear any bad publicity. I've been listening to the national wires more than local ones. But, a place like that would probably come back under a different name. I mean, does anyone really see them demolishing that building? hehe.

So, 5% in tax revenue means Club Space made around 83,333,333 million last year. Not bad at all.

Stupid drugs!!
umes23
if that is true, then yeah they did not have a responsible staff. but, it is something to feel sorry about, for people like you and me. the only club that really stood out in this country is going to close..... now there is nothing special left.

Eh, uhh...I posted this in another thread, but will post it here in case it's missed...but, here's what I said...

A little bird associated with Spundae says that she has heard that Pacha (one of the most respect club associations in the world it appears) has bought Space34 and will be reopening it under a new name.

Chao.
