Well this is exactly breaking news, but everyone knows Louis Puig and Parkwest fell into some hot water with the city of Miami after it was discovered that the venue was operating without a liquor license. Allegedly the operators of the club presumed that Space and Parkwest were one building, therefore only one license was necessary. It seemed that city bureaucracy was keeping Parkwest managers and employees guessing as to whether they would be open for Conference, there was even talk of moving all the events to the former Life Downtown venue -- which opened during WMC as the new venue 90 Degrees. Alas, at the last minute when it seem they were being punished for their oversight, a liquor license was obtained and WMC went off without a hitch, much to the relief of absolutely everyone involved.
This Friday marks the first weekend in a long time that Parkwest will open its doors for its Stereo party. Will the massive crowds return after such a long hiatus? I mean being closed for a month in Miami clubland is like being closed for a year; most people can barely even remember where they went the week before. We shall see this weekend, when Shawn Rudnick drops the usual house craziness in the main room.
