Iniquity Houston Club Photos and Review Jul 28, 2008 by Paul White What I am stating below is only my personal views, and in no way represents the views of my clients. If you are planning to visit this nightclub, be sure the Desirous Party is doing a promotion that night. Else the place will be dead. The only nights I have gone have been nights that desirousparty.com has been doing promotions. After talking with some other people it would seem that the club is not able to pull a crowd on its own. DesirousParty has suspended all future promotions at Iniquity Houston. Rumors have been circulating that IQ is having financial troubles. The Owners have not been paying their promoters. Let this be a warning to any other promoters who are considering doing promotions at this venue. The decor and layout is still very nice. If this club goes under it will be a huge loss for the Houston Area. The only thing that could possibly save it, is for the club to get a liquor license, and charge a much lower cover. The BYOB issue is one that inconvinces many, as too many people don't plan ahead for the events. But for other reasons the venue is unable to get a liquor license at this time. If you want to have a good time I recommend attending one of the events found at desirousparty.com Currently DP is promoting events at TMZ, and the Ritz, both of which are excellent venues. Iniquity Houston NightClub When you pull up to Iniquity Houston, the first thing you will notice is the Giant Q above the entry. Valet Parking is there ready to serve you, along with a shared parking lot accross the street if you would rather self park. Before you make plans to attend this venue, just know this. The place is a BYOB couples club. Meaning if you plan on going, you must bring your own alcohol. You can then buy Mixers ( coke, Juice, water ) from the bar tenders. Also if you are a single guy, you will need to bring a female date. Single Ladies of course are always encouraged to come out. In my opinion this venue is designed with the female's tastes in mind. Cozy Couches are all around. With sections that are divided off for a more private gathering. There are plasma screens everywhere, with the upcoming promotions along with a Satalite feed of the Play Girl Channel. The People The crowd was well dressed. Most of the guys were wearing slacks and button down shirts. The girls showed up in their Sky High Heels and Boots, Mini skirts or short shorts. Any night that Desirous Party is doing a promotion you are sure to see the ladies dressed to match the theme of the night. The night I was there the theme was Molin Rouge. There was easily 20+ girls in fish nets, and bustiers. If you want to see more photos of the people visit desirousparty.com BYOB For an understanding on how the BYOB works. Its just like any other club. The only difference is you need to bring your own Liquor. The only downfall is you pay a higher cover to get in. I want to say it was $55 / couple for the one night membership. Longer memberships are available if you plan on going often. If you are planning to go out for a night of heavy drinking, Its actually much cheaper to goto a BYOB. Considering that a Bottle of Premium Vodka can go for $500+ at nightclubs in Houston. You could instead buy it yourself for $50 and pay a little higher cover to party at Iniquity for the night. However many people don't plan on going out til its too late. Liquor stores in Houston close at 9PM on Friday and Saturday nights. So if you plan on going out to IQ ( Iniquity ) you need to plan in advance. Many people wish the venue was a cash bar with a lower cover, and there has been much debate over if this would be a better business model for the club. Couples and single females only Let me get something straight. Couples only does not mean swingers. Even though Iniquity Houston does draw its share of Respectful Lifestyle Couples. Don't expect to walk in and see people doing it on the tables. Its the total opposite. Since only single females and couples are let in, this makes a respectful enviroment for you and your lady. We have all seen how drunk single males can ruin a party. This is something you will never have to worry about in this establishment. Privacy The club is very discreet. It creates the perfect atmosphere for couples. Everything about this club is intended to turn the female on. Music The DJ does an excellent job of setting the mood. Earlier in the night they play classics, to get everyone comfortable, then they move on to Top 40 and Hip Hop. Visuals There are plasma Screens everywhere with Club News, and later in the night I noticed the Play Girl channel. Some people just sat at their tables and people watched all night. While others drank happily. Everyone was smiling and having a great time. The combination of the Entry and layout helps to set the mood and make people comfortable.

Awesome AS3 tutorial Jul 09, 2008 by Paul White Today as I was searching the web for tutorials on Flash AS3. I came across a very nice tutorial. This tutorial helps explain some of the main differences between AS1, AS2 and AS3. Thus far I am liking AS3, but it does have a steep learning curve. In AS1 and AS2 the language was very simple. It didn't require a lot of code to do anything. Even graphic designers who traditionally curse at the thought of coding were able to understand how to use flash. AS3 is written for the hardcore programmer in mind. This is good because it gives you more control over things, but the result is you write alot more code. I tend to learn better from examples. I see code formatted in a particular way. I see what is does, then I make changes to it, and see how it affects the results. Learning how to Code with the new AS3 is like moving into a new big city. After a while you get a logical feel for where everything is, and how to get from point A to point B. This guy did an awesome job explaining AS3 in words and examples I understand. Check it out!

What is Cache Jul 05, 2008 by Paul White Recently one of my clients asked me this question. Rather than getting into a detailed discussion of how the internals of a computer works, I made an analogy to help my client understand what cache is and what it does. To hear my full analogy and a little history on cache read this entry.
