If people like Kevin and Len's status rolled up in one of our parties wearing nothing...we would walk them in, and buy them a round. You can only do that if you control the door.
It is ashame that local club bouncers controlled the door, and no one was there from xbiz/giga to make sure things were under control. It is more than just a sponsors job...like Terry...knowing and expecting what was going to happen and took care of the people he knew he had to take care of...... He did his job as an educated sponsor.
Were any of the sponsors made aware that this would not be a totally private party and the public would be brought in?
I mean...come on..... $6,000 sponsorships as six sponsors....and then heavy bottle service and $11 drinks.....anyone that knows anything about promoting parties....I know philly and nyc, not south beach....but a smart promoter was not only making money from the sponsors, but also got a cut of the bottle service and bar too. This was a nice night for someone.
Got to control your door. Got to make your sponsors happy. Got to make sure VIP's are actually VIPs.
It was a webmaster event....wasn't it?
It cracks me up that a small handfull of those here that are educated on the nightlife scene in south beach act so quickly to pounce on people from all around the world on what they should have expected.
The dress code should have been on all promotional materials, VIP's should have been limited and actual real vip status given....isn't that was the $6,000 paid for?
To be a VIP then have nothing but a requirement to pay to be able to be in VIP? lol. Trust me....we make a ton of money with bottle service here too....but man.....this was a heavily sponsored, private event....and nothing was complimentry? Wow....not even for an hour or two? Wow.
With a group that large an alcohol distributor would have given cases and cases of free product to push out....and same thing for bottles in the VIP section too.
Some people should stick to webmastering while others stick to throwing parties and events. just my
