If a TA breaks a sweat, the club sucks for not properly ventalating. -anyone who dares to try and liven the mood by saying "fuck yeah" or whistling is a total idiot because i didnt think of that idea myself. Of course, when i come up with a gimmick it will be ultra cool because i thought of it and everyone else will be haters. -people who talk about "vibe" at a club and how important this is to a good time are old school. - The club owner/promoter must not be allowed to make more than $50 or $60 profit on the party, otherwise he's a slimeball and is an opportunist -Drugs aren't cool unless I took them Did i miss anything?

wow, jay, wow. You'll make a great politician.

Kytracid, being one of those people that sometimes spills water on the floor, I can tell you I only do it when the floor is sticky cause it's harder to move your feet around when the floor feels like you're dancing on Scotch tape. I don't cover the whole floor, just the two square feet where my feet are. That said, if I can bruck the fuck out on the slippery floor, you should have no trouble walking on it. Or just don't walk through my dancing space. That works too.

You dont like how someone is dancing so you push them out of your way? Wait wasnt that another thread on here some time ago? All i see here are uptight partiers

So one person should be allowed to make many other people annoyed/uncomfortable?

People dancing like retards dont bother me - aslong as they are not bumping/pushing into me/getting into my space. They can dance like a spazz all the fuck they want.

However, the person blasting into a whistle IS invading myspace, and is affecting my enjoyment of the evening.

No.

This one guy did it for like 4 hours straight to every fackin song, so friggin loud and not on beat. I left, came back, and he was still doing it! SO ANNOYING! I don't get how people have no idea how annoying they are sometimes. Just don't get it lol

actually he isn't. Invading your space would be if that person climbed on your back and blew that whistle into your ear. That would be invading your space. You always have the option of moving away, but you don't want to do that do you ? You want to stand where you want and want him to move or to stop blowing that damn whistle. Seems like you want to set more conditions on him, then he would on you.

I'm not a big fan of whistles, but I realize they are a part of club culture. If you don't want to hear em, move away from the source. Clubs are noisy environments, you have to deal with sounds / smells / lighting that you don't like. If controlling your environment is paramount, then perhaps choosing a venue where 4000 people come togather isn't ideal to begin with.


Mind you, there are clubs that don't allow glowsticks, whistles, airhorns and other club trinkets. They are usually smaller venues where such devices would effect the sound quality and ambience. Go there if you really hate your space being invaded. A club like Guv has always struck me as a rave within a club type party. So if you choose to go there, expect to compromise a little.

First off, spilling water on the floor doesn't clean it. It makes a greasy mess where once there was a sticky one. It makes the floor treacherous by taking away any traction you might have had. You want to clean a floor, next time you spill water on a sticky spot make sure you have a bucket with some suds in it, a mop and a scrub brush as well. Then, get down on your hands and knees and clean that spot, and let it dry instead of making it worse.

Also, with regards to your dancing (if you really want to call slipping and sliding dancing) - no real dancer WILL EVER spill water on a spot to help them dance. It doesn't matter if you're a bboy, a tapdancer, ballet, crunk, jazz, waterever. If you're serious about busting a move then you'll realize that at some point both your feet will have left the ground. At that stage the most important function of the surface will to provide you with a grip when you land. Slippery floor provide no grip...that's why lazy retards spill water on it. It's an easy way to glide and do all the moves that would otherwise require some real footwork. Instead of moving from their heel to toe, instead of shifting weight from side to side, they spill water on the spot, and just shuffle and scrape their feet.

It's not a solution though, the floor isn't getting cleaned. All you're doing is making a bad situation even worse. After about half an hour the slickness turns back to stickness...which is why you see people continually spilling water on 'their' spot.

I'm not sure if any of this will get to you, or if you'll care even if it does. From my experience, people who spill water on the floor and then claim that their doing it because the floor is sticky are just lazy, inconsiderate dancers....No real dancer will ever make a floor slippery. EVER! Which is why you'll rarely see a good dancer going to some of these clubs and busting out. Water spillers aren't dancing, they're taking a shortcut - a dangerous one that will at some point result in injury either to themselves, or to someone else.

PS. I have no intention of dancing on your wetspot although I do have reservations of how well anybody can dance on an oilslick. With that being said - This is me, calling you out. Name the next jam you're at, and I'll turn up...you can dance on a slippery floor and I'll bust on a nice 'safe' dry patch and we'll let those who are gathered around say who's dancing and who's not.

Lol, get a hold of yourself. I never said I'm a "real dancer", or that I'm even any good at it. I prolly suck. I don't know, and I don't care. I go to clubs to listen to music, dance, and have a good time. Not to showoff my "skills" to anyone who is around me. So there's no need to "call me out" in a dancing competition like you're John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, and I'm going to steal your girl by cheating through spilling water on the dancefloor. Sorry to disappoint, but there'll be no dance-offs between my posse and yours.

I also never mentioned doing it so the floor is clean. I know it doesn't make it any cleaner. It just makes it less sticky, which is the effect I'm going for. I guess I am one of those lazy, inconsiderate dancers you're talking about. Yes, gliding on the floor makes it easier than dealing with my soles sticking to the floor. Yes, that is precisely why I do it.

What I don't understand is why something that I do that helps ME dance is inconsiderable, or why it bothers YOU so much. I only spill enough to get rid of the stickiness, so there's plenty of grip left on the floor. And if the floor is sticky, that's because of drunk idiots who keep spilling their fruity drinks on the floor, so I'm creating as much of a safety hazard as they are. Plus, I already said I only do it where my feet hit the floor, so YOUR safety is not compromised in any way. Finally, if I felt unsure of my balance after I spilled water on the floor, I obviously wouldn't do it anymore because it'd be pretty fucking embarrassing to slip and fall while dancing.

It bothers me because you aren't the only person who does it, and although you imply that you only occupy one spot on the dancefloor the entire nite, we both know that's not true. Like most people you probably move around the club during the course of a night, and if you spill water at even two or more locations during that time you've already left behind a dangerous area for some unsuspecting clubber to slip on. Nevermind you probably aren't the only one who does this during the course of the night. Like a fat bitch in heat, waterspillers leave their wetspot where ever they go. If it was isolated only to their area, and they remained at the same spot for most of the night it wouldn't be a problem. But it rarely is.

My issue with it is that it's dangerous and it's something that has caused injury to people. I bring it up because people will complain about trivial things like whistles, glowsticks and sweat which at the end of the day are inconveniences but they don't think twice about the potential injury spilling water on the floor might cause to another clubber. It's selfish quite frankly - and I think your post illustrates that. Yes, people spill their drinks on the floor - that's an accident. It happens. But what you're doing isn't. Is it? You can't justify your action by pointing out that someone else caused the problem first. You're simply adding to the treacherous conditions...personally, I'll take a sticky floor over something that's slippery. At least I know I won't fall and break my wrist.

Finally, spilling water on the dance floor is just a moronic thing to do...Think about your reaction if someone spilt water on the floor - what would you say to that person? It's something a drug addled mind would come up with.

"This floor is sticky. I can't dance on it. I know, I'm going to add some water to it and smear all this sticky stuff around. That's safe...now I dance better, to hell with who steps in this spot after I'm done. "



PS. John Travolta? Really? LOL...bro - seriously, you need to watch some new movies or something. Google or youtube that shit and update yourself, you come across as the 40 year old virgin. I'm not saying John couldn't bust a move in his day, but where the fuck have you been partying that you think people still rock a beat like that?



Still. I'm flattered....and oh, before I forget -- You couldn't fucking steal my girl -- even if you did know how to dance

Roffles, I love arguing with you.

I used the Saturday Night Fever reference cause that's the first movie that came to mind that was about danceoffs. I usually stay away from movies like that cause they're shit, and have the same plotline.

Anyway, if I can dance on that spot, then you can surely walk on it? Or do you have less balance when walking than when dancing?

What the hell has my thread turned into, lol.

I can't decide whether it's more entertaining to read a thread like this in one setting after it's all done and settled or during and getting updates every couple of hours/days.

i still don't like it

for anyone on the boat today, did you witness the guy whistling at the top of his lungs on the lower level? mandatory cause for being thrown overboard imo

It takes away from the experience when ABUSED no matter if I move away from the person. This is mostly because whistling can be heard above the music and is basically something that REALLY stands out and takes aaway from the experience of hearing the music and the crowd etc. Those are things that are a positive part of a night...

Wow... id hate to see some people being forced to face real problems

If peeps feel like they have something they need to get out, sure, whatever. Couple blasts, fine. In no way is it ok to be part of the show for anything as long as in terms of minutes.

Besides, depending on where the DJ is in his/her set. I think a lot of the time whistling isn't directed towards the music but at the DJ. I could see somebody out there, totally feeling it and is thinking the the DJ is maybe getting ready to peel off soon. Wants to coax him into a few more.

Then there are those ******s you get from time to time still, that decide to bring the full on Fox40 Life Guard Edition 460Db Emergency Alerting Device thinking they can turn it into some sorta freaked out Salsa internment camp.
