Anyone else feel like waiting for some of these MM rumours to crystallize is kind of like Waiting for Godot/"Free Beer Tomorrow"?

While less common than smoking weed, steroids are definitely not uncommon (depending on the circles you move in). Your characterization of bodybuilders being hooked-up with dealers and commonly using other illicit drugs is also fairly accurate (if you're already self-regulating your hormone...

hate to break it to twitter activists, but the overlap between people who pay attention to political hashtags and muzik's clientele is precisely zero.

Macedonian.

OK. Let me clarify my reminiscence. There were three groups of people doing security that I remember: 1) uniformed police (I remember seeing them outside for most of the time. The club is massive, I didn't have eyes on all of it). 2) bouncers who would line up at the end of the night to...

As eurler mentioned, it was a mix. A few in uniform, many more not. I don't know which precinct or service they were from. It's been a while. I just remember lots. I also remember they were treated and paid differently from "regular" security.

Not "great" as in "great for society". I'd bet a boatload of DUIs every Saturday get their start at Muzik. But in terms of a business model, it's extremely profitable. I didn't mean to imply that I condoned it.

Could just be Muzik's size, but I have never seen as many off-duties at a club before. I've worked at and been to a few. Could be nothing, though. Just struck me, along with some other things that I probably shouldn't be posting on a public board as trafficked as this one.

I don't want to minimize the validity of harm-reduction strategies, or comment on the wisdom of all-ages parties. Just observing that concern for kids isn't spun from whole cloth. It's always better, if people are going to party, to have health professionals nearby. A LiveNation rave is...

I told myself I wouldn't. But the filth of the service industry is one of my only areas of expertise. I couldn't resist. One further bit: it might be instructive to go down on a Saturday and observe how many off-duty police staff Muzik for their club nights. I'm not alleging any sort of...

Further thoughts on EDM parties: A friend of mine worked the last big Avicii party at the Ex, and this whole "think of the children" thing isn't coming from nowhere. By his account, there were some seriously messed-up 15-year-old-girls who were far, far from home. Cabbies didn't want to take...

Don't know if there's a connection, but Pantalone lobbies for Muzik now. Also, the family behind Liberty (of the Liberty Grand, Courthouse, Rosewater, Casa Loma) had some pretty swanky private receptions for David Miller when he was mayor. I bartended at Muzik for a brief period. To see...
