Smells Like Bootie
There's no denying that club Bootie is the biggest and most successful mashup club in the world. From humble beginnings, Ohio-born ex-glam rocker Adrian and Dallas club-kid Mysterious D have created a club event that has grown from a monthly night on Wednesdays to regular nights all over the globe.
In it's short 4-year life span, Bootie has regularly been voted the "Best Dance Club" by the San Francisco Bay Guardian, been featured as one of "America's Wildest Parties" in Spin magazine and praised as "Best Mashup Party" in Complex magazine.
As is inevitable with any modicum of success there are bound to be detractors. Recently Bootie has come under fire due to accusations of "Starbucks-style globalization" -- mainly because they are expanding their boundaries through allowing the Bootie name and "branding" to be used for clubs halfway across the world in places like Paris and Munich.
In the following interview, they hope to provide a history of A plus D, and Bootie and also respond to these criticisms.
