Re: Back in time..Miami's nightlife scene
Sat, December 9, 2006 - 11:52 AMDo you remember The Blind Fox, on South Beach....and Las Lechusa's and Mixx II on 79th St, and The long treck to the Copa in Lauderdale and the little punk club that was on the strip there. The Agora Ballroom in Hallendale, Honey for the Bears in the Grove, it just goes on and on, we should get together and reminisce! Their were so many fabulous clubs, I also have all kinds of dish about the 60's and 90's, I plan to write a book about the South Beach that I saw come up out of the ashes of retirement homes and the Avenue A Parties. Does anyone remember our dear departed Artist friend who had the first big Artist Party for Hurricane Reelf in North Carolina, the first time they got hit....Varla, who we buried at sea after a decadent parade down South Beach Pier. (No longer there).
If people could see the sites I've seen, that Versace wishes he were a part of and only came in on the tail wind of all the real creators of Miami and South Beach, Please girls, he was such an asshole! His boyfriend Franco was cool though.
That's my first entry, stay tuned for more rantings from DVaJacqui -

Re: Back in time..Miami's nightlife scene
Sat, December 9, 2006 - 7:36 PMI was a bit to young for Honey For The Bears, but my brother worked there and always managed to get his hands on recordings by Honey's DJ's Carlos Nodal and Jimmy Yu, I still have those reel to reel mixes and have tranferred them to CD.
You gotta hear them!
I was lucky though, at 15 (around 1983) I became a party promoter where I'd throw jams all over Miami,in abandoned warehouses or banquet halls, because of the popularity of my events, a local booking agent and bigtime promoter gave me a shot to work for him doing promotions,which lead me to become more of his partner at such an early age.
Imagine, a 15 year old peach fuzz punk getting in every adult club known to man, while making a buck!
Let's write that book,eh? -

Re: Back in time..Miami's nightlife scene
Sun, December 10, 2006 - 1:30 PMI used to co-manage stores in N Miami Bch in the early 80's. Was called Vibrations Records and Tapes. Mostly I think we were there was because of the head shop. CDs were just starting to ease into the market around the time we sold the company (1985ish) Was a fun time because everyone from teh Miami scene shopped in our stores and we got the chance to meet a lot of cool people and go to some cool places. Now go out and try to by a record? -

Re: Back in time..Miami's nightlife scene
Sat, December 16, 2006 - 3:59 PMCD's are okay,but playing a record is so much more fun, I dunno what it is,but there is something so much deeper when spinning some vinyl then listening to a CD.
I've managed to collect nearly 40,000 records and wont sell them for all the gold in the world (thats stretching it) but you know what I mean?

Re: Back in time..Miami's nightlife scene
Sat, December 16, 2006 - 7:50 PMYES - I remember Devo as one of the acts that showed up there. We used to do a lot of promos like that. The biggest event we ever had was having the stars from Miami Vice show up for signings. -
