Who can blame you; there are some quite pretty goths and they do take time to get their makeup looking fancy.

I really never go to clubs unless there's a band I want to see playing - I don't really know what to *do* otherwise. Now thanks to this post, I know!

But yes, clubbing is rubbish. It's like McDonalds. You get enticed into McDonalds, everybody saying how great it is and the glamour and the smells. Then you buy it, it's overpriced - you eat it, and it tastes like shit. So you say "I am NEVER gonna have a McDonalds again." But then, after a couple of months, you think to yourslef "Well, maybe I didn't give it a fair chance. After all, everyone else seems to enjoy it!" and you go back in, and the whole process repeats itself ad infinitum. As with clubbing - its a better idea in your head than in real life.

― Johnney B, Friday, 11 June 2004 07:25 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm glad that this thread is back on topic.

Clubbing on weeknights or small places, (i.e. no Bridge and Tunnel type crowds) where you're a regular, and having a good time dancing and jumping about to music you love with people you like is pretty classic.

Clubbing as in the sense of superclubs, door queues, dress codes, all that freaking velvet rope nonsense... Jesus Christ! What the fuck could possibly be behind that door that actually justifies the fuss? In my experience, the VERY few times I've done it, absolutely nothing. I'm glad that those superclub cattlesheds full of white high heels and boys in shiny shirts exist, though, because it keeps them out of the sort of places that I would want to go.

Feh.

johnney b, you get enticed into mcdonalds by the smell? that's the bizarrest thing i've heard this morning. how come it doesn't just make you want to puke?

― emsk, Friday, 11 June 2004 09:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Dude, never ever ever ever go to crappy local clubs. No matter how much it seems a good idea or anything else. They exist to humiliate.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 June 2004 09:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Ah, I was waiting for you to turn up Ronan. No I don't go, at least not any more. Sadly, studying in Colchester for three years meant forced exposure to that kind of thing or risk having absolutely no social life all together. There really wasn't anything to do after the pubs shut so either I went home or just grinned and beared it.

Enrique, luckily I let the Carwash et al slip me by - as you know I never really had a whole lot of friends I could go out with in Cambridge. But I did see a few bands in that place.

What does "Bridge and Tunnel" mean, Kate?

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 11 June 2004 09:29 (nineteen years ago) link

the answer to this problem is clearly MOBILE CLUBBING!

― pete b. (pete b.), Friday, 11 June 2004 09:30 (nineteen years ago) link

trust me I feel your pain, my friends always go this local awful place and always try to persuade me, anytime I go I have a shit time and end up feeling very conscious of being some sort of weirdo for this, even though there's nothing weird about it. At least, any of my other friends would hate it too.

a month or so ago my friends girlfriend KEPT asking me to go there and was being sort of sweet about it in her efforts to persuade me or see why I didn't want to go. But it was actually quite a rigorous interrogation in the end, I think I muttered something about liking to go to clubs where the clientele didn't make smart-ass comments about your hair or clothes and then I appeared all sensitive and offended as opposed to just picky.

YOU CAN'T WIN, I guess is the moral of this rambling story. Actually also I just hate going to a club where twats you don't even know will be all "I heard about you" the next week if you so much as talk to a girl, small town crap, grrr.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 June 2004 09:41 (nineteen years ago) link

god, carwash. i once vomited over myself at the carwash, yeah.
and then walked 4 miles home. at the carwash, yeah.

― Enrique (Enrique), Friday, 11 June 2004 09:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Bridge and Tunnel is a NYC term, coz, basically, to get into NYC from the Suburbs (or even the outer boroughs) you have to go over a bridge or under a tunnel. So B&T just becomes a generic term for wankers who travel into a city on a weekend night to "large it" and treat the city like a party pen, clutter up clubs, behave like dicks and then go home leaving residents to deal with their mess.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:03 (nineteen years ago) link

not being argumentative Kate, but isn't that what central areas of cities are actually for?

― chris (chris), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:06 (nineteen years ago) link

nobody owns the city.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:07 (nineteen years ago) link

kate, wtf is your snobby attitude at? most people cannot afford to live in downtown nyc (or london). this doesn't make them wankers. if you journey to another town, or another part of london, does it mean you are 'cluttering up the place'? what about those channel tunnellers coming over from eastern europe -- are they wankers?

― Enrique (Enrique), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:08 (nineteen years ago) link

The only clubs worth going to are ones with comfy chairs, quiet and no queues at the bar or expensive drinks. Big op the Pall Mall massive.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Not to the people that live in those central areas of cities, it's not. They're for living in.

It's more the disrespect and total disregard for anyone else, residents or not, that makes B&T so awful. Don't behave in someone else's neighbourhood in a way that you would not behave in your own.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm not being snobby in saying THIS IS NOT A FUCKING PARTY PEN. THIS IS MY HOME. YOU WOULD NOT TREAT YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD THIS WAY, SO WHY DO YOU TREAT MINE THIS WAY? Clearly everyone who comes in from the suburbs doesn't behave like a wanker. But enough of them do to make it a known and recognised problem.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:10 (nineteen years ago) link

...assuming the area you live is full of people attending bars, clubs, gigs, museums, eating in its cafes or restaurants, viewing its tourist attractions, or working in its numerous offices, obv.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know what NYC is like but I am almost certain anyone who fucks stuff up when they go out does so in their own neighbourhood just as much as anywhere else.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:11 (nineteen years ago) link

x-post, but Kate, MOVE OUT OF FUCKING TOWN ALREADY.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Like I said, I harbour secret fantasies of going to New Jersey or Wimbledon or whatever other suburb I feel like, getting extremely drunk, shouting loudly as I walk down the street, vomiting in people's doorsteps, pissing against their fences, shouting some more, verbally harrassing the residents and generally behaving like B&T types behave in the centre of cities.

What do you think the chances are that I would be arrested? Quite high. SO WHY DO PEOPLE BEHAVE LIKE THAT IN MY NEIGHBOURHOOD AND THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT?!?!?

Mark, FUCK YOU AND THE HIGH HORSE YOU RODE IN ON.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:13 (nineteen years ago) link

believe me I live in a leafy suburb and have done all the above, YOU'LL BE GRAND.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:14 (nineteen years ago) link

THE FUCKING PHRASE "BRIDGE AND TUNNEL" WOULD NOT EVEN EXIST IF OTHER PEOPLE DID NOT FIND THE PHENOMENON AS ANNOYING AND FUCKWITTED AS I DO.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:15 (nineteen years ago) link

What's the problem? You obviously hate it to the point of inability to even discuss it rationally, so why don't you just leave? The phrase "put up or shut up" was invented for just this situation.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:15 (nineteen years ago) link

it's on!

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:16 (nineteen years ago) link

I am irrational with rage at things other than just living in Central London right now. I am doing my best not to let it ooze all over ILX but right now I'm finding other targets for my anger.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Friday, 11 June 2004 10:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I know you didn't invent the term 'B&T', but that doesn't make it any less obnoxious in implications.

Not to the people that live in those central areas of cities, it's not. They're for living in.

Well, no, central London is not for the people who live there. At all! It's a fucking financial and cultural (and, once, industrial) capital -- people come to it from all over the world. Were you born within the sound of Bow Bells? No?

For those of you who travel to Thailand, this club is a quick fix when you miss those beautiful thai girls. Karaoke bar with thai girls. Runs about $100 an hour tip included.

two months pass...

One year later - Well, I haven't been clubbing round here for ages and ages. Even when this thread got started I hadn't been for a long time.

Actually I tell a lie, there's a place in Hitchin that used to be famous for all the teenie boppers and townies to go to. It cost about £8 to get in and then about £3 for a drink and it was SO SHIT! It closed down for about a year and then a big fanfare was made that it had been taken over with loads of money being poured into it and it was definitely NOT going to be like before, with talk of decent proper dance nights and even maybe gigs and things.
So we went to the grand opening because we'd heard it was free entrance. It cost £10 to get in, £4 for a drink and the music was atrocious, I mean really really bad - it was like some kind of Now Dance compilation from 1997 - the newest track they played was that Tori Amos Armand Van Helden remix. We left after 25 minutes of hurriedly necking 330ml bottles of Grolsch and looking sorrowfully at a quarter-empty dnacefloor.

The bar / pool hall I was in last night had a dancefloor. The DJ appeared to be operating out of a time portal from 2001.
