7/24 Just got back from a club in San Francisco. A guy I'd just met told
me he had been convicted of Conspiracy to Sell MDMA, a felony, but
then said he wasn't dealing anymore and didn't try to sell me any;
some random woman grabbed my knee and asked if I knew where she could
buy coke; and a hyperkinetic Vietnamese guy kept clapping me on the
shoulder and telling me how awesome the DJ was. Is this typical for
a night out in the City?
\_ honestly, do you do pot or other recreational drug?
\_ Yeah, pretty much. It depends on the club of course, but that
sounds about right for the techno/dance scene. -retired clubber
\_ Huh. I've been clubbing for quite awhile, and I've never had a
night like that. Which clubs tended to give the most 'out there'
experiences for you?
\_ ?? Were you sitting on a bar stool when she grabbed your knee or
was she kneeling in front of you?
\_ I was sitting up on an empty stage, my legs dangling over the
side; she was walking by the stage and then grabbed my knee.
\_ :-) I just had this funny image of her walking by and
bending over or kneeling down to grab your knee. Thanks.
\_ name the club, then can tell you if it is typical.
\_ 1015 Folsom
\_ Ugh. That club hasn't been even halfway decent for years.
Its a crackden for south bay Asians on bad ecstacy. Please
don't take that as an indication of them all. Try some
smaller, more down to earth venues.
\_ Like what? --never goes and thinks they're all this way
\_ I could list dozens of examples, but it really depends
on what sort of music you want to hear. Off the top
of my head, here's some places to investigate:
Pink (formerly known as Liquid), 16th and Capp St.
The Top, lower Haight St. between Webster and Fillmore
Club Six, 60 6th St between Market and Mission.
Note that these are all in pretty bad neighborhoods
so be prepared for that. There's tons more, try
http://www.sfstation.com for a pretty broad selection.
And if you must do the big scary club thing, try
Mezzanine at 5th and Jessie St - at least it doesn't
have the dreary vibe of 1015 described by the OP.
Just don't go there on Saturday unless you are hella
gay, like like to dance around with other ripped guys
with your shirt off gay.
\_ thanks for the warning. looks like sat is the night
for me. |
