I promoted at several of Hollywood’s hottest clubs during a period of unemployment, mainly to see what all of the fuss was about. While it was fun and definitely had its perks, it also confirmed quite a few of the suspicions and stereotypes I’d previously held about how the industry works.

Hey so basically my agency is sending my to LA for the next 3 months, i'm 19 and was wondering how easy it is for models to get in to over 21 clubs? In London if you look the part they don't bother checking ID, and to be honest I don't want (Cntnd)

Asked by Ellis over 11 years ago

".....have to go that long without having a drink or much actual fun, (under 21 clubs most likely suck) What would you reccomend? Are any certain clubs easier going with regards to under 21's being let in or sold alcohol? I'll be with other London models. The drinking age in London is 18 but they i've been going out since I was 16 as I knew the promoters and nobody really minded.. Thanks for the help!"

It depends on the club. You'll probably find LA stricter than London in this respect. Your best bet is to find a promoter you can get you in. If you're a bunch of models with British accents, this should take about 5 minutes.

Hi,
I am a DJ. I've played quite a few clubs in Houston and i moved to LA last year and have DJed here a few places too including Avalon. I'm trying to book more shows. Can you give me some advice on how i should go about doing that?
Thank you.

Meet as many club GM's as you can. Have a demo for them. Network a lot.

Avalon is still open? Wow

How do you become a promoter ?

Hi, I live in Weho, & I wanna ask about a problem a few close friends of mine encountered, (including myself at times)..it's about the whole hispanic being hispanic thing..I know most hispanics in LA, who look stereotypical, party in Pasadena, or do

Question cont'd "

"Or downtown, Can there be accommodations since hispanic is not a race, so there's a lot good looking white- male hispanics, who like go to a club alone, cuz friends can't make it, or white hispanics are rarity, can clubs make an exception, or accomaccommodation to this problem, since many white-hispanics are the classy ones, not the ghetto ones.?"

 

This question makes my head hurt. Bottom line is the bouncer decides in half a second whether or not to let you in. 

My husband was offered a job being a club promoter. Good or bad for marriage?

Asked by thea almost 12 years ago

Hard to say as an outsider to your marriage and every marriage is different. How do you feel about alcoholism and HPV?

If I have enough money could I invest in or become a partial owner if a nightclub? Would that create opportunities for some temporary female companionship?

Asked by Doc almost 12 years ago

The entire business is run on this principle. Take money from some rich, older "investors" who made their money in something boring (finance, real estate, oil and gas, insurance, etc) and sell them on being cool by owning a nightclub. And yes, it can get you laid. 

The film business works mostly the same way.
