You might, but unfortunately I have a hard time coming to terms with having to blow thousands of $$$ on nonsense (like criminal justice attorneys), so I'll probably still be bitching about this (and the involuntary forfeit of my late summer vacation on account of) two months from now.

Karma might be a bitch, but in your case, there's no cure (whatsoever) for stupidity.
On a (much) more important note, Wetbar will definitely be missed. For those of you (maybe just that one reply) about people having issues with it being a gay club - grow the up already. I think it's been said before in this forum, so I'll say it again - if you have a problem with said venues, stay the away. Go play in Buckhead or something...
It's places like Wetbar (Blu) and Backstreet that MADE the Atlanta nightlife what it is today. Backstreet started it all, gay, straight or what have you.
I still, to this day, talk to my best friends about our memories from the Backstreet days and I truly feel that out of all the currently operational clubs in Atlanta, Wetbar is by far the best, especially in terms of sound. Opera has gotten better but I've only been once since it's been Opera (Armin in May) but hope to check out some of the upcoming shows like Markus. Just not fond of the way the VIP is set up.
But alas, I have the utmost faith that Liquified will keep the party going, no matter where the venue...just as long as it's not the Mark. That place is like a ing sardine can. |

| So, have the events that were scheduled there after it closes been moved? I saw Lindsey Lohan's girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, was scheduled to be there. I'm not usually one to buy into all the celebrity stuff, but I'd check her out to see if she was any good or not. Was BT cancelled? |

Seeing as I've never met you, I'm not really too concerned with your opinion concerning my level of intelligence (or lack thereof). I might point out, though, that respect is rarely granted toward people who revert to name calling on the internet.
... but hey, if that's what makes you feel all big and smart, don't let me stop you :rolleyes: |

I take it the City of Atlanta and/or WETbar settled?
Seems pretty fast for an actual court hearing to of come and gone.
Either way, glad you got justice in the end. That lady cop was a real bitch who didn't do her job, hope she was reprimanded. |

I was making my way over here to post this as well.
Yeah, the gay community had stopped supporting them because they were doing some straight nights and the straight community was scared of the place because it was a Gay club. Go figure! |
Gotta say that sounds like a silly reason to close the club. I mean, Backstreet in Atlanta lasted like 30 years and they were always both gay and straight friendly. I went to Wetbar once on a fri night when there was no big DJ, and the place was ultra-gay, although the music was still good. But anyways, the WETbar was like the only gay dance club in Atlanta, that a buncha straight guys came to when a big DJ would be there. Where are the gays gonna dance now when they wana be around other gays? Sounds like they screwed themselves big time if thats the reason the club closed. |

Doubt anyone consciously made that decision, but it's so true. |

Tongue and Groove has an awesome sound system, too bad the dance floor seems smaller than my kitchen table :sadgreen: |
Are u talking about the Tongue and Groove by the Linberg Marta station? Every time I walk by that place on my way to drink at Taco Mac I hear that place playing booty/rap music. Do they ever play any kind of dance/electronica/trance or is it all the booty ? |

Im telling you you should just turn center stage into a club its got plenty of room for everyone to dance and exits are close to the dance floor so its not like you have to like weave and bend through the crowd of people for 15 mins to get a drink and more seating the decor inside it isnt as lavish as operas but its not bad. Sound in there is amazing and it can hold a alot of people but their waiting/bar staff blows lol.
but wherever devin takes the events the people will follow so its really up in the air as to where he might go. |
