club experience...

Being a baby, erm, a young'n, I went to my first real club tonight. I'm 17 so my friends just told the guy at the front I was from out of town and forgot my ID so I got in. It was a really good time, I have to say. This gay club called Pulse in Providence...great music and lights, great people, good food, and a lot of alcohol. I wanted to stay a lot later but my ride had work the next day and had to get some sleep.

I don't know, for some reason I thought I'd never be into that whole scene, but it ended up being a lot of fun.

 

Not something you're used to seeing back home in Vermont I bet.

 

i hate clubs, especially those sleazy ones which most of them happen to be
certain bars i like, but i never go to clubs.

 

I havent been to a club yet, but id like to. but im pretyt shy, and im defiantly not going to be dancing with someone i dont know. I actually would like to own one one day...way down the road of my life of course, if i ever get enough money. Id enjoy it, id also like to DJ some day.

By the way Eliza, Hi. (its schizoidman)

 

You want to be a club DJ, Ed??

I am 23 and have never been to a "club," though there are many of them around here. It just seems that most (not all) hardcore clubgoers care about little more than showing off their clothes and bodies, and shaking their asses - not that there is anything wrong with that. I am sure many people find it to be fun. It's just not my thing, though. I prefer the more intimate setting of a quaint English or Irish pub. But to each their own. I am probably a bit biased, being rather socially phobic as I am.

 

not exactly matt. but id like to dj my own music at places...maybe for people and parties for friends of mine some day.

 

rat's right, rochester clubs suck.

i used to be really into what passes for a goth scene around here, and would regularly go to the one sleazy little goth dive, but that was back when i was single and at the time it was just about showing off my cleavage in fishnet & vintage gowns, getting drunk out of my skull during open bar, & finding a pale skinny little goth boy to play with. which, granted, could describe the goth scene just about anywhere. i think that kind of thing today would bore me to death. i'd rather go to a concert or a festival or jam at a good drum circle now adays, if i wanted to ride the waves of a really fun vibe.

for years i dated this guy who was a dj, and really into techno & the rave scene at the time, and i'd go clubbing with him. it got so tedious being "the dj's girlfriend" it's a wonder i had any interest in clubs at all after that. to this day i can't stand electronic music, i got so sick of it.

 

thats too bad, because theres lots of great electronic music. though i dont know what they play at the places. :sunglasse

 

this was years ago. i don't remember what exactly dave spun, even though he would talk at length about it and actually expect me to remember or even give a damn. i probably would have enjoyed it a lot more and maybe even taken an interest in it if he would have shut up about it once in awhile, or didn't drag me along to stand there bored while he endlessly flipped through vinyl, or hadn't expected me to be his fucking sidekick on club nights when he was spinning.

 

haha. well then its quite understandable you feel that way. Back when i listened to metal and all this shit, I had a friend who actually made me hate a band because of the way hed always talk about it and bother me with all of it. I traded in the cds right after that.

 

i ended up leaving him for this drunken stoner who was a total neurotic hermit he barely ever went anywhere. i couldn't get him to go to clubs with me, unless it was open bar night and he was able to get senselessly drunk right away. he'd just sit in his room in front of the computer, get stoned or drunk or both, and listen to frank zappa. and you know what? i can't stand frank zappa anymore, either. the mere mention of him (especially "billy the mountain") makes me want to run screaming from the room.

 

LOL!

Sorry, but that made me laugh.

 

I went to the club my first time about 2 months ago. I wasn't too sure what exactly to expect, but I fell in love with it all. It's a whole new scene I had no idea existed up until a few weeks ago. I don't make a habit of going and don't ever plan on it, just because of the drugs and what it does to the people. You can meet some very cool people there, but I'd have to say the majority are just really sad and really fucked up. The lifestyle can really suck a person in, and it's a scary thought.
I actually met a really great guy at the club while he was bouncing, and never in a million years would I have thought I'd meet someone like him in a place like that. Just goes to show you never know...

 

I dont think ive ever been to a club. Ive been to bars with large dance floors, with people actually dancing; but i dont think it was a club.
--
I'm a bar person anyways. Give me a shady booth, a strong drink, and local blues over clubbing any day.

 

I LOVE clubbing!!!
I freely admit to loving going somewhere to show my clothes and body and shake my ass.
I got to dance, get drunk and have a wicked time.. I don't go to meet people however, I stick with the friends I go with.

 

I enjoy going to clubs, but I don't go to clubs often. I feel like I have to go to clubs with other people, and most of my friends are more of the beer-drinking, bar type (not that there's anything wrong with that). Also, the best clubs in Tokyo are fucking expensive.

 

i've gone a few times. its not really my thing, just a thing to do with friends. since i can't go to bars yet, i like to play drinking games with my friends and get shit faced.

 

Ed, hey! I've missed ya my friend.

Yeah, I get what you mean, but imagine it tends to be a little different at a gay club because there are very few other ways to meet people. So it's more of an "everyone does it" kind of thing within the community, rather than being the addiction it might be for young straight adults who could find lots of members of the opposite sex basically anywhere. It's more of a convenience than anything else...part of the appeal is the unique concentration.

or maybe I'm full of shit

 

I abso-fucking-lutely hate clubs and large parties.

Edit: But bars are great...

 

16 year olds like bars? why, is it the way they smell or the way they wont serve you?
