Lucent at the Edison ...

Loved seeing the gang at the Edison ...

But would someone please soften up the security guards? They were so aggro about clearing people from any traffic areas (or almost any area that wasn't against a wall), it really busted up a lot of conversations and vibe.

They were also so strict about dress codes that they really seemed unfriendly, in the worst "Hollywood" way. One of the Lucent performers got denied admission since he was wearing shorts (longer, plaid Bermudas). Someone had to lend him a pair of pants to wear over them to get in. Then they threatened to throw him out again when they noticed he was hearing pants over shorts. They just had NO sense of humor, they did not get our group.

So, it was a pretty place, and Lucent was fun - but the security vibe could really put people off the place, if they don't learn to chill on our group. They seem to be overly afraid of gang bangers or something.

    Sorry I should have included in the newsletter that the place is formal only. Though it is a Lucent event, it is still their venue so we both need to learn how to adjust to each other. I believe they were more relaxed on dress code then they normally are (I sow a few of you with the vest over tshirt dealio :p). I didn't hear from any Lucent performer that they had trouble getting in, do you remember who it was?

    As for the clearing up high traffic areas I believe this was to help guide people so that everyone could the performaces. *Those of you the ride mta will get this* You know when you get on a bus thats packed and you have to stand right near the bus driver, but you realize there is tons of standing room in the back (even seats sometimes) but you cant get to it because it is blocked? I think its the same thing.

    We are both getting adjusted to each other, I'm sure as time progresses it will become a lot more relaxed.

    Thanks to everyone who came out to support Lucent, we were so happy to see the gang come all out for this and make the night magical..
