this was my 1st REAL spring break and i went to pcb from the 11th-14th. stayed @ the travelodge- decent, but far.

pcb is everything and more i dreamt of. i dont have much game and i still got some.

back at orlando now and im really sad. i want to go back to pcb asap. if i can get a few bux together, i may be going for the weekend again at the end of march

also- if ur under 21, dont waste ur $$ on any cards (gold/panamaniac/lavela). i got the panamaniac and it was the biggest waste. lavela/spinnaker are the only clubs you needa go to and if you get there before 9, its only $10-$15 cover. no re-entry for under 21 even with ur card (which again, only gets you in free till 9). so unless you plan on basically following the schedule for the cards, its not worth it at all under 21.

luckily i found someone to buy my card for $20

also- i observed the girl:guy ratio is HORRIBLE. 4 guys to 1 girl pretty much, however 95% of the girls are beautiful and if you put any game forward, you will get somewhere. pretty much, as long as ur not a scumbag and you're clean and not greasy like all the thugs that drive up and down the strip but dont go into the clubs cuz theyre too cheap, you can get somewhere

key- GET CRUNK!
NO cops on the beach at all and i even saw some 14-15 year old high schoolers drinking openly. DO NOT drink on the strip if ur underage. Dont try to drink in the clubs if u have ur hand stamped for under 21 or you WILL get kicked out. if you have an ID- bring it...just make sure its legit and ull live it up completely

Pretty damn accurate! Thanks!

Man I really appreciate that post. I'm leaving for PCB on the 17th and I was

wondering what it's like through the eyes of someone who'd already been down

there. This is my first time going and even though I am 21, you just took the

guess work out of alot of questions I needed to have answered. Thanks again

man and I know I'm going to have a crazy weekend!!!!!

How hard do different clubs card? I am 17 and have an id. Do some clubs card harder than others?

If you don't mind getting embarrassed, and having your id taken from you for the remained of your spring break...go for it. The doormen at all the clubs are well trained and can spot a fake id from the parking lot. They can also spot someone who's underage fairly well. It's not worth it. I say just go down, have a good time...and then wait until next year to try and get in the clubs. No need in getting your id taken.

i mean if you've used it before at clubs that get lots of people and never once had any bouncer eye you in a way that seems like hes suspicious, you can probly get away with it. if you look like you can pass for 18, if you dont act suspicious, and the ID looks 150% legit i dont think you'd have a prob. i dont think they were too much about spotting 18-20 fake id's as they were for 21+ cuz the clubs/bouncers can get in trouble for having under 21 drinking in there. alot of times they just glanced my ID cuz in Florida, under 21 ID's have a big red stripe that says ur basically under 21.

but apparently the end of march/beginning of april is the big time for high school spring breaks and ive been told thats the only time they really look out for fake 18 ID's.

but yes, be careful and i honestly wouldnt even try the ID at all if theres a cop at the door- running in with the law wouldnt be a fun story to tell mom

another tip that helps me out greatly when getting into stuff in miami (im from there) is go with a group of older people. if everyones generally of age, they tend to assume and just skim the ID. i have a real ID (and its mine) and im 20 and i go with people who are 23-26 quite often and it almost always works to get me into Miami clubs (which are almost all 21+ for guys)

i wouldnt suggest going if its only a weekend. i did that assuming id get all the fun i needed. i was wrong- i got all the fun and i wasnt able to give it up. a day later and i havent left my appartment/room yet. i have such an empty feeling inside me.
it will definately break your heart to leave PCB. hell, it was hard to even see other people ending their spring breaks and hearing they were leaving after 1.5 weeks!
what made leaving PCB even worse, is we left around the rushhour so i couldnt just get out of there without looking back...ontop of a ticket i got on my way back that topped off my sadness from leaving (92 in a 70 on i10 around tally...grr...went the whole weekend sinning/breaking laws [underage drinking]) and i run in with the law

Thanks for the posts. I am told constantly I look older than 18, so I don't think that will be the prob. I used an ID last year and it worked all week at Spinnakers until the last night and the guy made me smile and busted me on no dimples, because my id had dimples!

lol...i told you, they're well trained for that stuff. they look for moles, birth marks, eye brows, scars. they're good.

they HAVE to be good! if some udnerage kid gets wasted, drives, gets in a wreck, and it comes back to the club, thats a hell of a lawsuit. That's basically the only reason bouncers care. I also think we should be able to drink at 18, though. 18 year olds can purchase tobacco, vote, hold political office, and die for their country, but can't have a glass of wine with dinner or a beer for relaxation. By the way, GREAT info, iwant. 100% accurate, and trust me - I'm a local.
