I guess this means I *really* have to keep tribe going well...

And to think, I proposed the idea of paid tribes (tribes that you pay to become a member of) only two weeks ago to the powers that be.

Allow me to put some things into plain English.

There is a night club in San Francisco on Wednesday nights called Bondage a Go Go. It costs $7 before 10:30 and $10 after. If you are off the street looking like you don't belong at the club you may find yourself paying as much as $20. That's the breaks. Club are allowed to do this in order to encourage people to keep a certain vibe. Clubs may also flatly deny entry based on a dress code. That's the breaks. George is teh Promoter of Bondage a Go Go, the nightclub.

There is a web site Called Tribe. On the web site called tribe there is a group called Bondage a Go Go. We're and online club. We happen to share the same name as the club on Wednesday nights. Once a month we have a meeting at the club, on the 1st Wednesday of every month. I, being the moderator, have a deal worked out with the promoter of Bondage a go go, the nightclub, for Bondage a go go tribe, my Group, to get in for a reduced rate on our Meeting night.

Bondage a Go Go the Nightclub and Bondage a Go Go teh tribe are mutually exclusive of each other, however a LOT of people are members of my group and attend the club.

Bondage a Go Go the club offers VIP memberships to some of the patrons. They also have special deals with Citadel members. This has no relevance or bearing on Bondage a Go Go tribe or The Citadel tribe. Again, all of these things are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE of each other.
