The whole "club" and vip thing happened to one of our parties ...

We got fucked up by the bouncers and the administration here trusted us to run the club as they do close business with us . Anyways long story short, the bouncers asked 20 $ for 18-21 YO people and we made them stop doing that less then a month ago by telling the administration (It's not illegal in canada . 18yo is the legal drinking age) .

That was a MAJOR fuckup since the club was full by 9 (normally they get full by 12:30 - 1 am here).

Tons of VIPS got refused .

Shit happens ... but we had like 10k thrown into that party not 70k .

There are like 100000 more mistakes to do on a 70k $ party then on a 10k party ... If you don't have any REALLY REALLY REALLY good experience you shouldn't start big .

I'm sure Kbizzle will tell you the same thing.
I dont buy that....

What i did before getting into this biz was run nightclubs and concerts in Hollywood/Beverly Hills/ Los Angeles for 15 years. I could have been much easier to take over a building that does not have an ongoing biz, so the price could have been much more flexable, the bouncers work for club and take direction from the top, they have no brains and do what they are told by managment, and that comes from the top.

For our industry and the money we have not to take over a place 100% is a fucking joke, it was embarrassing to have some muscle dick treat us and everyone else like shit was so very un cool. I feel sorry for sponsors that put money to bring a great time to everyone at show.

When planning function of this size, it takes someone who knows what the fuck they are doing, making this kind of massive mistake is just not good. Doing an event like this is something I can do in my sleep, and had this little feeling this was going to happen.

Good luck getting money back from club, slime balls run places like that, and just kiss the cash good bye, it was the person that signed the deal with the club, shame on them for doing it there in the first place, and not getting details straight with club, sad.


Why this show was not done in one of the ball rooms of the hotel? Christ we took over the entire hotel, why not? It would have cost a fraction of what it would have ending up being, everyone would have had fun, no stupid 45 min ride, etc etc etc......
