Miami

I remember when B.E.D Miami use to be one of the top clubs, and everyone would go there...
But since over a year, they struggled to keep it position of
1. Fine Dining
2. Great Event-place
3. Glamourous Venue

So I was wondering what's all about the changes there...
I mean I have worked there almost for a year, and I was treated well there, so I could not imagine why such a great Club would fell so rapiditly...

So here I am it is Monday, and normally since Back Door Bambi went in vacation I decide to stay home...
Tonite Monday June 25th, 2007 I decide to make a tour and check-out diverse Venues...
Together with a friend we went on to the club journey...
First we went to a new event to Asian O Grill located between Linclon road and Collins to a new event co-hosted by the Magazine 'sixdegrees, and as well as Fabian a local celeb...
It was a Karaoke night, and since I'm not really into it, we shortly left after some quite good performances...and went to
"THE MONDAY SPOT TANTRA"
There we entered pretty quickly, great door personal which greeted us friendly and let us in in a wink!
Inside it was the blast!
Of course Irene which is the -Owner-Host of the event conduct it since a over 3 years period amazingly well and it was the fire there!
2 Thumbs up for TANTRA!
Then by 230am we decided to make a stroll to B.E.D
I had a friend working at the office there, and he mentionned once that even him could not deal with the Door man 'Manny"
I was surprised about it, since my friend work at the office there, that he would not want to deal with the door guy...
I arrived there, and to my own surprise I got repelled...and when I asked the doorman what the problem is, he wanted not even give me an answer...wooow...So as we all know, how the doorman behaves, it's what guests will perceive from a club...the doorman is the business-card of a club...
Since I know that B.E.D. is for sale, I was wondering, if the owners are aware of the un-professional behavior of their Promoters of Monday, or if they just didn't react on it...
I mean if their own employees have problems to get in on Mondays what will be for customers, which at the end of the day pay the owner, the employees, as well as the doorguy...
Is it because of it that a such a great Club as B.E.D. looses the glamour, or fame, because of ego-maniac little doormans?
Which behave as they would be god themself...because they open a rope??? Or are they to dirty and cheap, that they accept under hand money to let then the people in, and so most of the regulars started to desert clubs like B.E.D...?
I mean especially in Miami-Beach which the competition is fierce, so is this the fall of B.E.D.???
Maybe Oliver and Dirk the owner of B.E.D. has to come aware how they loose a venue, because they gave the power to the doorman to be almighty, and they forgot, that it is the customers which makes or breaks a club, so we need to treat them with respect, otherwise who knows maybe one day they have to close doors, because they forgot who pays the bills...

Was there a big crowd outside? Could you tell if there was a big crowd inside?

I worked there the "DiscoJazz Thursdays"...and it was a Dinner lounge event...
Star guest were people like Luis Puig and other Club and Nightlife industry people...
I even received the title "House Pioneer of Miami"in 2004 after my RE-UNION 2 which featured DJ's such as
E-man (NYC/Bang the party/Chez), DJ Romain (Wave/Rodog Productions/Nufaze/NYC), Mike "AgentX" Clark (Beatdown Sound/3rd ear Productions UK/Detroit) as well as Sobe Fame DR Love aka Richard Vasquez... I received that title by New Times Miami... So does he know me or not.. last night he didn't even look at me...who knows...

Anywhere you have to beg to get into just aint worth going. I could understand if the guy made you wait like say 10 minutes because Ive had that happen before when going out solo, but at least the door guy told me it would be a moment and didnt ignore my ass. Of course I don't necessarily like schmoozing with people that work the door. I pretty much have the attitude that I'm here I am paying let me in my alcohol is waiting for me. Still I just will never understand why people at the door would rather make people willing to pay to get into the club wait while they let in people for free faster.

Yeah I hear you, you see that is what a Doorman supposed to do...because he is there to represent the
1 the Venue
2 to regulate the process of the entrance of the customers
3 to make sure to have the proprer customer inside
So I'm sorry that the door man did not behave as he suppose, to...and surley forgot that it's the customer which make his paycheck possible...

I don't think so that he's french...and I think it has nothing to do with where he's coming from...
