I used to dance there alot. I met so many women there and always had a blast. nothing like standing at the foot of the stage while Prince was playing his guitar right in front of me. The only problem I had was that Prince wasn't very good about keeping a schedule and you can only hang out in a night club so many times and be screwed over before you start to stay home.

Do I look familiar to you? Maybe you saw me there.

man i used to party there too. i reaaaally miss that club. no other club has ever come close.

I LOVED going to Glam Slam when it was open. The women were off the hook, I saw Prince fuck the place up at least two times, and the general vibe was on. I drove from Long Beach damn near every weekend for months to go to G.S. LA. I thought it was a travesty when it closed, as it kind of ruined me for other clubs in the LA area...or anywhere for that matter. But you're right...one nite I was standing in line and the crowd was visibly different....lots of playas and what not, thugs, etc. The word got out. I remember thinking that the club as it was couldn't last, and, it didn't.

That place was cool. Ten years ago this month I drove down from SF with a friend and saw a great show at Glam Slam. P tore it up at the VH-1 Honors, then performed at the club that night. Stevie Wonder and Mavis Staples came out to jam...and it was easy to meet celebs including Sandra Bullock, Ice T, Berry Gordy, Sheila E, Jerome and others.

Now I find it hard to cruise through downtown LA without looking up at 3rd Street and wishing it was still there. I mean, it was HIS place, right down to the symbols painted on the back of the chairs. Let's raise a toast to 333 S. Boyleston this weekend. Salut!

I went there a couple of days before my 21st birthday and they let me in. Surprising.

I saw Chubby Checker there (not the hottest star in LA, but hey)

I also saw a Prince impersonator on the dance floor. He got a lot of double takes there.

I loved the pillars of naked people. It wasn't in the best part of town, and the parking sucked.

Alas I never saw prince perform there. At the end of the night it looked like he might, all eyes turned to the stage. But soon, the lights came up and we knew that it wouldn't happen.

Owning a club is not an easy business.
