Miami Clubs

[Satin Doll]

whats up wit the club scene in miami. last time i was down there back in Sept all the main clubs down there seem like they had all these restrictions on who can get in. for example Club Mansion and Opium were 2 clubs my friends and i tried to go to on 2 different nights and they were trippn at the door. makin folks stand in line for long periods of time...it was as if it was only VIP status type of thing and all in who you know....what if you out of town like we were and just wanted to kick it and that really sucked that we couldnt get our club on....

i here its this way in LA too. is that true?

Only beautiful "plastic" folks allowed?:conf06:

Seems sad.:cussing:

i actually felt it was discrimination. and it left a bad taste in my mouth about one of my favorite cities to visit. i was wondering had anyone else experienced this.

don't come to london then...

a wait of up to 2/3 hours isn't uncommon...

Ahhh I loooove South Beach (and Miami in general) but yah the door can be tough. That's anywhere tho, not much different in NYC depending on which club you're trying to get into.

Did you look good that night? :conf44:

[Mack-Williams]

All depends on how bad you want to get in. If you buy a bottle, they let you right in and you dont have to pay the entry fee.

I swear mofos on DHP act like door policies at clubs are a new thing.
It has been this way since I started clubbing in the 80s.
WTF makes people think it is supposed to be different now?

The best party to give is the one you give yourself for the guest that you want to be there.

It's all about flossing at a lot of these places. You pay this high ass cover only to enter a place filled with tired ass music and a pretentious crowd.

of course i look good whenever im out. but thats besides the point. in comparing being out clubbin in another state it was an inconvience to be looked at like we werent good enough to get into some club in south beach. never have the issue in my own city so i was wondering whats the big deal. thought maybe there was some big secret i just wasnt aware about thats all. but i realize it was discrimination and if your werent the right color with long curly hair or drove up in a limo with a bunch of rich folks paying a 100.00 cover or didnt know the promoter it was a no go. it was just a big disappointment and i had wondered had anyone else experienced the same thing. no need for sarcastic remarks but thanks for the response.

i swear mofos on DHP act like there experience is the same for everyone else....for your information this was a new thing for me being in another state and all which is why i asked had anyone else experienced this cause i know many of yall been to south beach. and It has never been this way for me EVER in any place ive visited. In my own city CHICAGO im able to go to any club i want without restrictions and what not. so yea that was something i just wasnt used to especially when it happened on 2 different nights while in south beach. so if you cant just simply answer the question your response is not needed. thanks.

Didn't mean to offend.
This week has been full of threads about door policies at a Chicago club (Zentra), and I am just surprised that anyone on DHP has not experienced door drama in their lifetime.
It has always been an integral part of clubbing in my experience.
The older I get, the less I fuck with those clubs.
If you have managed to avoid it your entire life, then I commend you.

i feel ya and that was purely a coincidence. its all good though.

Nile Rodgers:

"On New Year's Eve, 1977, we were invited to meet with Sergio Miramontes at Studio 54. She wanted to interview us about recording her next album. At that time, our music was fairly popular — 'Dance, Dance, Dance' was a big hit and 'Everybody Dance', although more underground, was doing very well, too — but Grace Jones didn't leave our name at the door and the doorman wouldn't let us in. Studio 54 was that kind of place. Our music might be playing inside, but the place was packed for New Year's Eve and this was early in our career. Anyway, my apartment happened to be one block away, so Bernard and I went there to sort of quell our sorrows. We grabbed a couple of bottles of champagne from the corner liquor store and then went back to my place, plugged in our instruments and started jamming.
"And since we were feeling bad, we played music to make us feel good. We started jamming on the now-famous riff — Bernard and I were particularly good at making up riffs and jamming together. We were really into jamming and we'd often start writing songs that way, sometimes drawing on ideas that were floating around. In this case, however, the riff was super, super simple, so it didn't have to be pre-planned. It's not like I'd been saving it. It was just something that happened. I had always liked the Cream song "Sunshine of Your Love", and I wanted to do a sort of riff song for Chic, although not a complete linear riff — that wouldn't be like Chic — so I incorporated a little linear lick and we started singing, 'f**k off!' [Repeats the lick.] 'Aaaaahh, fuck off!'
"We were so fucked off at what had happened. I mean, it was Studio 54, it was New Year's Eve, it was Grace Jones, and we were wearing the most expensive outfits that we had — back then, in the late '70s, our suits must have cost us a couple of thousand bucks each, and our really fancy shoes had got soaked trudging through the snow. So 'Fuck Off' was a protest song, and we actually thought it was pretty good — 'Aaaaahh, f**k off!' It had a vibe. I was thinking 'This could be the anthem of everybody who gets cut off on the street by a cab driver or any kids who want to say this to their parents.' You know, 'Hey, I wasn't saying it, man! I was just playing the record.'
"We really had pretty big designs on completing the song as 'Fuck Off'. You've got to remember, we didn't think of that prior to sitting down and playing. Once we did sit down and play and started singing that hook, it sounded good; just as good as 'freak out'. In fact, had we not come up with ' off' we would never have written 'Freak Out' and some other song would have been our big hit record. We were screaming it: 'Aaaaahh, fuck off!' Bernard and I usually wrote the hook of a song first, and then once we felt we had a chorus that would pay off, the rest of the song would follow. So, that night we actually converted 'fuck off' to 'freak out'. That was part of the process that first night. First, we changed it from 'fuck off' to 'freak off', and that was pretty hideous. We were singing it and just stumbling over 'freak off', because it was so lame by comparison. Then, all of a sudden it just hit me. For one second the light bulb went on and I sang 'Aaaaahh, freak out!'"

Miami is a city where fair skinned Cuban cops couldn't wait to practice choke holds on brothas back in the 80s,I really like Miami but daamn what a racist place!

[Soul Simple]

I think it would be better if you know someone where you are going to visit..or know someone that MAY know someone...Here on DHPm most are well traveled and know someone just about er'where...so it wouldnt have hurt to come on here...maybe days before you left to find out if anyone knew of coll places or cool contacts.....I could have saved you a lot of Drama, since I live in Miami....Some spots are just not people friendly...They are more like groupie, schischi crowd friendly....Y'know!!

[Satin Doll]

ill keep that in mind next time i visit MIA. im tryn to come back in march so we'll see.
