It’s always good to have friends in the entertainment business but I believe that the strategy of trying to become good friends with the bouncer at the front door is overdone/over hype. The thing is most guys (and girls) think that the guy outside checking ID or holding up the ropes has the power. He doesn’t. He’s just the first line of defense. Hell I’ve had times in the past where the door bouncer has explicitly told me that I would not be let in a club only to be overruled by someone who has more power than him. If you go to a club often enough the bouncer will eventually know you and let you in without a hassle but don’t waste time when you’re new to a venue trying to be best buddies with the guy at the door.

The Guy with the Clipboard is your friend
The guy with the clipboard is the guy that you want to befriend. Depending on the size of the venue he is either a low or mid level promoter that actually gets paid from the number of people inside the club. Naturally his incentives to let his regulars in quickly and without hassle are in line (no pun intended) with yours of getting into the club. This is the guy that you want to befriend. Use the following questions to get him to identify you as a possible long term ‘customer’ party go-er.
•    Hey man, what promotion company is throwing this party
•    How often do you guys throw the party here
•    I was here with some girls last week and brought my friends this week, you guys throw great parties man
•    Where else do you guys promote
•    Do you guys have a guestlist? Where can I  sign up?
•    I’m throwing a party in a month or two for my friend’s bday, do you have a card, I’m thinking about getting bottle service
•    Do you have a myspace or facebook where I can hear about your upcoming events
•    Do you guys have a mailing list when you send out information about your upcoming events

To a promoter all these things are music to their ears. Once a promoter gets to know that you’re down to come, party, and have a good time, they’ll be jumping to insure that and your friends get into the club in a swift manner.
