I did not do it. I have not been there in almost two years. If it were closer I would have been a regular.

The Platinum was a frisk before you enter club, so none of the customers could have shot back, but I bet the real issue is they stopped allowing smoking in clubs in NC yesterday!

Not familiar with the Platinum but I assume their business was likely already likely to be threatened by that fancy new club opening out by RDU airport. (Can't wait to see reviews from that place--guessing low mileage at least in these early days.) A shooting won't help.

Put down that weapon, CarolinaWanderer. Oh wait a minute, you are just glad to see the dancers. LOL

Hey Tyler50, how's that ear doing. The Platinum will not be bothered by the new club if it happens. If you ever went to Brothers in Durham you would have a feel for Plat. It is a high mileage, heavily black club that does not open until 8:000 or 9:00, but is open almost all night. It has been a good place to get your freak on.
