I certainly don't want to lynch anyone from GigaCash- I know they worked very hard and got screwed...
However there are certain measures to take when dealing with clubs like this one...and Lord knows I have seen this shit happen with my brother, D$ t a lot of venues...mostly C2K
For one- I recall the Snopp Dogg show when Ron Levy who was a VERY LARGE sponsor was with us for a pre meeting hours before the doors opened- he personally threatened the security guards and told them point blank that if people didn't get in...heads would roll.
While that wasn't the best tact to take ( it changed the mood of the bouncers a bit ) it did put them all on a sort of "warning" that we'd be watching them closely.
Secondly, after assisting D$ with every Players Ball- I learned the most important thing is to get your sponsors and VIP's in no problem and with no questions asked.
If you have ever taken the time to notice- I am always standing at the door of the Vegas Player's Ball's being my brother's eyes and ears.
There are simply so many tasks that have to be done and a myriad of last second things that arise for the performer's , the venue, and the staff that it comes down to last minute shuffling.
By standing at the door- I am an asset to my brother. For one, I have familiarity with everyone in the business- I KNOW WHO IS WHO, I also know who the sponsors are....
When there is a mad crush at the door I have always been able to get those of you in who needed to be in. It is never about playing favorites or that a guy didn't bring chicks to the pary- it's about being "prepared".
When going to any Internext event - always know ahead of time-
what time does the party start?
Where is the party?
Is there transportation?
Dress code?
It's a lot like a job interview and G-d knows most of you guys would never make it i the "real world" if you don't understand how to simply follow directions.
Would you ever go to a job interview in shorts and a t shirt?
How about being late?
I am always early to everything, and I am always dressed appropriately-
Not too mention, I always HAVE MY ID on me .
There was only one time that I can eve recall getting someone in without ID and that was Aria Giovanni's little brother-
At the time he was only 18 but he was marked with X's on his hands so he couldn't drink- the only reason the club made an exception was because we told them Aria was hosting the show and if she didn't get in the show was over....
It worked out.
I think the only way to do future Player's Ball's is what I have been telling my brother for two years - we need to send the passes in the mail ahead of time period....
Of course then we'll have all the idiots who will say they left them at home...
You can never really win as the promoter unless it's very organized and I don't want to take anything away from Gigacash they are a fine company. I will say however that last year's Players ball at Prana was the best ever for one reason.
The sonsors all were HAPPY. There are so many different variables involved when choosing the venue, the artists and the attire... I still think D$ does this every year, I also know that we had our issues in the past with bad doormen and clubs that fuck everyone- but most people know that D$ is usually screaming his head off at people who don't do their job correctly in the venues.
Also if you are one of the people that I have helped get into any Player's Ball event-
You're welcome
