I promoted at several of Hollywood’s hottest clubs during a period of unemployment, mainly to see what all of the fuss was about. While it was fun and definitely had its perks, it also confirmed quite a few of the suspicions and stereotypes I’d previously held about how the industry works.

I was wondering, if you keep asking the promoter for guest list, how do you show that you're grateful? Do you tip? And also, do you prefer being informed of the party coming in two weeks advance or a few days before?

Asked by psychoanalyst about 12 years ago

Bringing hot girls is the ultimate thank you. Or buying bottles from him. It's rare to tip but it's nice when it happens. It's like anything in life, money talks.

If you are getting a table, then advanced notice is great. If not, the promoter doesn't care, just show up and hope the door guy let's you in.

I am going to be 21 on may 15th an I'm looking for a good club hip hop in Hollywood. I am having a party bus an it will be about 20-25 of us. Also is there any clubs that has service entry discounts with this many people that I am bringing.

Happy Early Birthday! Sounds like it's going to be a sloppy night.

If you park your car anywhere in Hollywood on a typical night, you'll come back to your car covered in flyers for clubs, many of which will offer discounted entrance. Otherwise, find an awful promoter and he'll offer you the same.

This guy asked me what I charge to host (I have no idea what that even means). What does hosting at a nightclub entail and what does it usually pay?

Asked by Hollywood girl about 12 years ago

It means either being the bottle girl or the girl at front with the clipboard. Pay varies but bottle girls can make a lot on tips (and usually 20% on the bottles)

What would you say, would be a descent bar split as in a percentage?

Asked by James Ho over 12 years ago

Depends greatly. I've seen as high as 20%

It sounds like you have been with a fair share of club girls... can you divulge: Are they usually bare down there? Also, I am always curious as to whether or not they are wearing underwear under those tight outfits?

What is your inmate number, Freedom? :)

I haven't seen hair down there since I stole my neighbors 1973 playboy magazine (this was last week)

I've found g-strings are typically the norm

Does a south american white chick fall into the category "undesirable ethnicity"?

Asked by Julieta almost 12 years ago

Do you look white? The bouncers are not going to give you a 23andMe DNA test. They'll take one look and decide. 

Do female promoters do well in this business?
