I'm all about bright clubs... Opera in Montreal comes to mind in that regard. I want to see everyone, hands down. That's a night out. I also prefer to party in clubs with levels for the same reason. I want to see as many people as possible so that I can find the right people to party with... or so they can find me.
Coco Bongo in Play Del Carmen was prob the best party place I was ever at, not to mention the show. It was so well designed. I've spent nights trying to figure out how to bring that concept to Montreal. Still missing a few pieces to that puzzle... such as how to get Canadians pissed on $60, have a full troupe of performers, be able to clean up after they shoot all that crap all over the bar every night and still turn a profit. :0)
Think we can dig a tunnel under the US and import cheap Mexican labour??
