A lot of you forget the bull factor of bouncers in general. There very well may have been people with sneakers inside, that wouldn't stop bouncers from saying "sorry, you got sneakers" and kicking you off the line. Especially the ones at web lol.

Now this makes good sense. Your personal story with regard to entrance sounds more like what I would have expected from you two, as it's not of your nature to be belligerent at the door of a club. The bouncers should have been more respectful to possible patrons, or at least explained that nobody is getting in because it's packed/too late. It doesn't sound like they were keeping you or Steven personally out as a result of your appearance or behavior, more that they closed the venue to new entrants.
I can certainly understand your frustration with this, and feel for you in that respect. Solely as someone who was reading TA though, it sounded like Steven was saying that you guys were kept out for looking drunk or wearing sneakers. This doesn't seem to have been the case for your two. Marcello's comment lends to the stance that it's not just me thinking that he was alluding to this.
As to those who were rejected on account of appearance, as none of us at Core, nor you, nor Steven, were there to witness it, it's hard to get a handle on exactly why this happened. This is not to say that anyone was rightfully or wrongfully denied entrance, I just don't think hearsay is really appropriate at this (or any) point.
I'd say there were rude allegations made on both parts. Both SSU and Core have supported eachother in several past events (the evidence is in the flyers). Either way, this whole argument has absolutely derailed our event thread. The past 2 pages has been about how another party (not this Judge Jules/CL/Yahel party) was potentially mishandled by bouncers. That would be like me posting about issues people had w/ Gui Boratto @ Studio B in your Fanciulli post. It falls under the time/place category imo.
That said, I think we all respect what's trying to be done at Webster Hall on an aggregate basis. Better bookings, renovations, and fun parties. There will be kinks along the way, but as always we will do our best to make sure that friends of TA and Core taken care of as well as possible.
Isn't there a party this saturday or something?
Exactly Frank, You've hit the nail on the head..And you are also correct about Studio B and that is why I have put together my own security company...Everything at Studio B will be under my control..We will have my very own,doormen, coat check, floor managers and cashiers..Everything that goes on in that club in the events we have up and coming will be totally under my control..

The issues I heard had nothing to do with the security. No disrespect, but PLEASE, can we keep this thread on topic!!!

Let's stop calling each other liars for a start:
Ok...I've read the posts and I was there every moment that night so here's what's up:
I was tired Saturday, so we left very late (10pm.)
Because on the drive we got info that ppl were being refused entry at WH wearing sneakers.I have a modem card to use the laptop on the road and we also spoke to Wai and Brian about it. As it was late we decided not to chance it, and to go to see Eli first then try WH.
So that's what we did.
A little after three we left Sully and got to WH. People were on their way out (looking like they had a great time btw) but we knew the ppl we wanted to see were still partying away inside as we had texts from Brian right when we left Sully.
Unfortunately, the bouncers cleared the ppl outside, saying no one was getting in. We tried to ask for the promoter Michael etc. But to no avail. They actually lied saying Mike had left.
Let me be clear about this: We were not sketchy, combative or drunk (we left the house so late we had only been out a couple of hours anyway.)
Also, the doormen were definately getting off on asking us questions knowing full well they were not going to let us or anyone else in.
The reason being as Steven has always stated: it was on the late end of things, and they (doorstaff)want to go home sooner rather than later.
So, I'm not sure where the confusion lies, but calling Steven a liar after all the support he has shown you guys is really pretty rotten.
after all the support we have shown SSU, saying " You you TIT" to me could be seen as a little rotten as well....
you see Sheila, if Steven took the approach you just took, things would not be here right now. But he didn't. Steven is an opinionated guy, and thats one of the reasons why we all like him, but it can be very frustrating as well.
If you re read back through both threads, I responded to all of Steven's gripes about last Saturday as to why the club acted the way it did at the door...I personally called Webster Hall's manager to get his official response about why they even list a dresscode on their website. Running a nightclub is a tough ass job...bouncers need to make calls on the fly and sometimes people are going to not be let in...thats the price to pay for keeping a safe place for people to party. in the process of me explaining what almost all club's policies are, I was accused of sticking up for the venues as opposed to Steven's valiant efforts at standing up for the people. Little dramatic if you ask me.
The confusion though, lies with Steven wrongly connecting two completely different door scenarios. The fact that a few people were not being let in early in the night for "wearing sneakers" is not the same reason why you guys were denided entry later in the night. He stated in the review thread that the reason why they wouldn't you guys in was that they were closing soon. Steven mentioned getting texts from Brian, Mike and Ryan about how sick the night was....I'd be willing to bet that one, if not all of them, were wearing sneakers and jeans. Webster Hall is not a posh club where people dress up and go to be seen. Now more than ever, its a no frills, music-driven party. Everyone who went last Saturday had a blast, yet the most vocal person right now is someone who got there too late to be let in. That frustrates me.
I'm done arguing. I don't want to get this to an unreparable place, especially since we have gotten to know you guys quite well over the last year or so. I take back calling Steven a liar, but I am still a little perplexed as to how this even got started.
This is getting way too long, and we've gotten totally sidetracked from the original purpose of the thread....the fact that we have an amazing night coming up this Saturday.
to get back on track...some pics taken from the last time Christopher Lawrence played NYC.....P.S. I chose the least incriminating pic of Steven that night lol
