View Full Version : New Entrance for Buzz Patrons!
AmandaHuie
2007-11-15, 12:49 PM
Hi All!
After a few LONG meetings with the club we have come up with a solution to make sure that you guys will not have to wait in line. We are opening a brand new entrance just for you! This line will NEVER be held unless the club is at capacity. And the goal will be to get everyone in as fast as humanly possible. Leading the door staff will be FurDoorGuy!
When you arrive at the club and are looking at the front door, there is an alley to the right of the club. Go down that alley and you will see another set of IDers and searchers. A QUICK patdown and you will be lead to the main room.
We will have people at the front of the club directing you to the secret door so don’t worry about getting confused.
Questions? Comments?

awesome!
So this should negate the long line?
And this is for the people who sign up for the free before midnight people right?

So if things don't go quickly, we should throw things at John/FurDoorGuy?
SCORE.
Well snaps, that's pretty freaking awesome! :D
Is there also going to be a seperate guestlist line too?
I guess it won't really matter if people get in quick though... :yes:

This should negate the long line, we cant just fill the alley with people so we have to get everyone in super fast.
This is for every Buzz patron, all night long. There will be a box office set up back there as well. The door price will be the same at both box offices, but I have a feeling the back one will always run a little smoother since they are letting us be in charge.

since the majority of poeple there by 12 are on the guestlist, it will probably just be one fast moving line.
we also talked about ways to make the pat downs less intrusive and faster. but for security reasons i am not going to post too much about that here.

I dunno if this is the place to ask, but is the age differential (different treatment for 21+ vs. 18+ with the guest list permanent and is that thing on the FUR website where women who are 18+ being able to get in free before midnight legit?

If you have the opportunity, could you just tell someone at FUR that some whiner you know thinks it would be awesome if they would reconsider their age and gender policies regarding the guest list and just make them uniform?
also, can we paint the new door fuschia? <3

not saying that's not true--but it does make the task of trying to broaden the age range that go out to parties for the long term more difficult.

letting in the under 21 crowd for free would be foolish IMO....
how would they be able to make any money?
obviously its not all about money, but if you aren't making something
off of the under 21 crowd, why should you even have a party thats 18+???
just to be nice? don't think that's a logical move - especially if you want to keep growing and providing quality events.

i know a lot of places let in ladies that are under 21 for free, but that's just to attract guys of all ages - and it works.... but i still think guys and girls should have to at least pay half price for this party.

Most people are more impressionable at 18-19 than they are at 21-24 (to their credit), less jaded, and their reasons for being out are different. It's a great investment for several years down the road when they're hanging out with buttholes like you who never come out to my gigs. :wink:

I'm sure you've already got this figured out, but what's going to stop everyone else from piling into that line, as well? "Hey look, that line's actually moving!" Not that I want to be elitist or anything!
And if people see me jumping in front ever during the cold fall nighs and winter, it's because once my legs get cold, they stay cold, which also chills the rest of me a bit. I'm not up dancing around on them like the rest of you! :wheelchair:

Someone gets in between you and the sweet cripsy heat inside...break their fucking jaw, carve out their innards and use their remaining flesh for extra warmth on your walk up (just discard afterwards, it's not worth the cost of coat check).

I noticed this after standing in the line for a few minutes.
I saw the paper on the fence after those few minutes.
What better style entrance could there be for a Buzzlife event?
I don't think anybody should have officially said anything about this.
It would be cooler if people just found the sign or whatnot. :arg:

Wouldn't it be easier to just use both entrances for all of the club goers and just have them both run efficiently? I'm not completely comprehending the need for an entrance that is seemingly excluding a lot of people and possibly adding to the split in scene mentalities.

I agree. I'm glad we have our own entrance that actually functions like it should, but I think it's really fucking stupid that FUR management gave it to us so they could keep another line(s) for the rest of their patrons that they intentionally move slow as hell so that they appear to be "popular."

So the new entrance rocked. Standing in line is relatively fun, but I hate to say it regarding the actual time when IDs are checked and guestlist is checked... it began at 1015PM.... that was kinda lame.

I think every time I went to Nation they opened at least 15 minutes late.
I don't really recall them opening late THAT often at Nation, and it was usually no more than 5-10 minutes. Jenn and I were usually there by 8:45pm every week, especially during the last few months. My memory may be wrong, though... :shrug:
I think it bothers people so much now because at FUR it happens EVERY week, and it's usually 15+ minutes. Not only that but they've already changed opening time from 9 to 10 to accommodate, yet they're still having problems. I'm sure it'll get worked out, just kinda sucks having to stand in the cold.
PS. Didn't I hear something awhile back about heaters on the patio during the colder months? :D

Hey I'm not complaining about FUR yet because we get there early enough that we're probably about 10 people back from the front. It does suck now that it's getting colder though.

Wouldn't it be easier to just use both entrances for all of the club goers and just have them both run efficiently? I'm not completely comprehending the need for an entrance that is seemingly excluding a lot of people and possibly adding to the split in scene mentalities.
I haven't been out to FUR yet, so I don't know the set up - but from what I've been reading, I thought anyone that knew about/wanted to could use the "buzz" entrance (Otherwise who gets the fun job of guessing who's there for Buzz & who's there for whatever else is going on?).
I agree that it's stupid to have two doors (one efficient & one purposely held to make a line), but I think that's a better solution than making everyone stand in a long line so the club can appear to be cooler. :shrug:
I wonder if everyone started using the "Buzz door" and there stopped being enough people to keep a line out front if they'd change their policy...?

seriously, you guys don't have to use the buzz entrance if you dont want to. standing out front will make the club seem more popular, and maybe you can make friends with people in line so that you will stop complaining about the other crowd, and they will understand ravers. it's a win-win situation, right?

I am strongly considering that shit despite the stuff that happened to my friends this week. It wasn't Buzz's fault persay, and I didn't mean it to sound like that in that one post. From the mind of a patron and potential patron though... you're gonna be hard-pressed to find people who have that sort of shit happen to them and just say "meh, it wasn't a promoter's fault"... see ya next week. Honestly, I've never had shit happen to me @ a Buzz event that wasn't brought on myself by myself... So I might come out. Genr8 is awesome, and there ain't shit else going on for me this weekend.

Seriously though, I didn't see the steps at all but I suppose they aren't used to having patrons go through that way. Some yellow paint/tape to accent the steps would be nice because someone will eventually get hurt.

The back entrance is money. When we got there, my wife was like, "Fuck standing in that line" and wanted to leave.
Then I showed her the entrance around back and she was like "Word".
Wait......that sounded weird.
