Miami Nights

Hey bitches, I'm blogging to you live from Brickell, my temporary home until I sign a lease at a new place. Let me tell you, two guys and a loft make for awkward situations. Well not really, but I expect it to happen soon enough. Unfortunately my gracious host forgot to pay his AT&T bill so I'm stuck blogging from the business center which is cold and has no windows and isn't remotely inspiring. So I may not blog as often as I'd like because I don't want to sit around here the entire day when I could be in the loft soaking up views of the Downtown/Brickell skyline.

Anyway onto to the reason for this post. Seems like Louis Puig is in trouble with the authorities over license issues at the newly opened Parkwest. If anyone notice, all the parties over the weekend at Parkwest were moved to other Puig-owned establishments leaving everyone to wonder what happened.

According to those gossip hounds over at Talknightlife.org, representatives for Parkwest were trying to put the blame on their sound system as the reason why, saying it was "knocking off the power in our neighborhood." Not true says some of the people posting in forum, Parkwest was operating under the assumption that Space and Parkwest were the same building and it only needed one license. Now it's not uncommon for separate venues to share one license, especially if they are in the same building. Snatch/Suite and Prive/Opium Garden can qualify under that, but Parkwest and Space can hardly be considered one in the same.

I know Puig has a lot of pull and will fix this situation pretty quickly, but it will be interesting to see if the city gives him a hard time. Will Parkwest be open this Friday? Not sure, but I'm working on trying to find that out for you.
