Well, since I was there w/ vegasvic7 I feel compelled to continue the conversation on how godawful last night's event was.
First problem: Fucking ridiculous 1000 peso cover. That party was not even remotely worthy of 1000 pesos. And it didn't even make sense.
Your having Omega- a Dominican favorite- perform at an event w/ nothing but a bunch of noobie weekend warriors that the promoters imported from Miami. Having Omega perform should attract a large Dominican crowd. But the 1000 pesos cover was a HUGE turnoff to Dominicans. Right off the bat, the promoters made a dickheaded decision.
Second problem: Not only did you have to pay 1000 pesos, you had to wait fucking forever to get through the goddamn door.
There were basically three ways to get in that motherfucker:
A) Know somebody
B) Pay the security guard a couple hundred pesos
C) Get lucky
So before you even pay the 1000 pesos, you were on the line for what felt like an eternity. Fuck that.
Third problem: Drink prices. As soon as I got upstairs, I went to the bar to get a drink. They show me a menu of the drinks. I really didn't even read it (I should have). I skimmed it and ordered a cuba libre. I get the drink and the bill is 8 FUCKING DOLLARS. 8 dollars for a watered-down cuba libre in a plastic cup. To make matters worse, they didn't want to accept my pesos- they only wanted DOLLARS. In the Dominican Goddam Republic. I forced the bitch bartender to accept the pesos I had. And when she brought me back my change, she demanded her "propina". Ended giving the bitch $100 pesos. So with the the propina included, I ended up paying 11 dollars for a watered-down cuba libre in a plastic cup. Fuck outta here.
Fourth problem: Omega. I like Omega. But as to why the promoters had Omega there, I don't even know. There wasn't a huge Dominican turnout. Because the security guards were cherry-picking who got in, and that ridiculous 1000 pesos cover, not many Dominicans got upstairs. The people in the party were mostly Americans from Miami that the promoters brought in. Probably more American bitches than Dominican hoes. Obviously, by charging 1000 pesos, they were sending a clear message to Dominicans: this party ain't for you. So
why the fuck was Omega- a Dominican favorite- performing for a bunch of people who don't who he is??
Are the promoters mentally retarded???
