There was a shooting at Cabana Club last week. I think this brings up the great topic of what kind of crowd a club owner is willing to accept into his/her venue. Times are TOUGH in Hollywood right now and nightclub owners still have to pay crazy rent each month. I think this leads them to bring in promoters that bring in a less than desirable clientele. It’s the classic short term vs long term dilemma. Short term you will have a decent amount of money generated on these nights to help with your rent, costs, ect. Long term, something like a shooting can happen and literally kill your venue’s name for any future parties leaving you even worse off than before. Time will tell if Cabana Club can recover from this or if they will have to throw in the towel and start remodeling.

A man was hospitalized early this morning after being struck by what appears to be random gunfire while standing outside a Hollywood nightclub, authorities said.
Two of the officers who responded to the shooting outside the Cabana Club were injured when a nearby crowd threw rocks and bottles at them, Los Angeles Police Sgt. Enrique Mendoza said.
Officers found a man about 24 years old with a gunshot wound to his left foot when they arrived at the club on Ivar Avenue just south of Sunset Boulevard about 2:30 a.m., Mendoza said.
The victim was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in stable condition.
Witnesses reported seeing a white Dodge Charger leave the scene, Mendoza said. It was not known how many suspects were involved and no descriptions were available.

GO Productions LA Inc. is by far one of the premiere Asian Promotion Group in Hollywood. They have been in existence for almost 5 strong years and still continues to grow. The team exploded on to the scene in 2003 with their debut at IVAR Fridays (back when it was hot). However, it was Factory Event Space in West Hollywood where they made their trademark as one of the leading promotion groups in the Asian scene. They have been involved in orchestrating some of the most massive Asian gatherings from the past New Years Parties: 2005-06 CIRCA @ Bonaventure Hotel, 2006-07 The MANHATTAN PROJECT @ Universal Studios, and most recently 2007-08 UNION STATION 2008. The attendance for all these events have averaged 2700+ party revelers. Go Pro has thrown events throughout Hollywood…some of their events were held at Day After, Boardners, Forbidden City, Avalon, Vanguard, Shag, Stork, Social Hollywood, Ritual Hollywood, Element Hollywood, Highlands, Level 3, Lobby, and they’re currently at Cabana Club Hollywood Weekly Fridays and Crimson Hollywood Weekly Thursdays.
One of the distinguishing mindset with Go Productions as oppose to other groups is the belief in creating the ultimate party experience, and with that mindset, they have continued to consistently partner with various top Asian groups as well in putting together a solid and unforgettable production. Such prominent groups have been THE HOUSE OF GLAM, PRESTO (formerly On Productions), OPIUM HOLLYWOOD, BLENDED, PARTY TIL AM, WHISPER ENTERTAINMENT, FRICTION ENTERTAINMENT, MIND SEX ENTERTAINMENT, FORTE SOCIAL, PROOF POSITIVE, KIRAMAS LA and many more. It’s through their fellow peers influence, collaboration, and their pioneering steps that have helped contributed to GO PRODUCTIONS success.
Who is GO PRODUCTIONS? GO PRO is the product of mastermind Scottie ROCK and J Saka. Two college frat-buddies from UCLA with an entrepreneur mind-set that simply enjoyed partying too much. “I think we always knew we wanted to start our own business…but the question was what we were going to sell or provide?” After graduation we both set off to hone our skills at respective corporate jobs while dreaming of a more exciting tomorrow. “We threw these parties on the side not thinking we would be able to survive off it…we simply did it hoping it would lead to something, networking, and before you knew it…we just kept going!” Now GO Pro is going on 5 years strong! When asked when do you plan on stopping…”Until we throw the ultimate party that is completely unforgettable…because that’s what we truly do…we’re in the memory making business…we make memories!” says Scottie ROCK.
