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.

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

Whats a good way to advertise for free bottle service? Posting online will not only attract people you don't want, but the clubs don't appreciate you advertising in that manner. Any ideas?

You're having trouble giving away $2000? Maybe promoting isn't for you.

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

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 about 11 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.

How do u become friends with bouncers/managers? At this really exclusive club, my friends have become buddies with them and get greeted. I go often but not as much, and they still ID me out of the whole group, its embarrassing. How can I change this?

Asked by GIRL over 10 years ago

You have to meet those guys outside of the club. In LA, a lot of them train MMA so joining an MMA or Jiu-jitsu gym is a good way.

Can you give me a little more info about how women go to clubs to play social status game? Greatly appreciated.

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.
