I suppose dancing in $300 Italian loofers and butt tight jeans with a v-neck is your flavor of "clubbing"? |
Dammit, you've seen me clubbing!
No that's not my speed, but there has to be some middle ground - something in between putting colored fridge magnets in your hair (spelling out XTC etc) and those italian crocodile skin winklepickers.

now that i've gotten a chance to club in spain/ibiza there are major differences some great, some not so great. trust me, every state/city/country/area has their issues with idiots that attend clubs/raves/festivals. it's managing to look beyond that, find a way to avoid and enjoy the reason that we have all gathered, the music!!!
.....almost making me wish for the raver kids lol. and of course what i like to dub as the "techno uniform" the same 50 girls running around dressed, in what they probably see as a unique outfit, all painfully looking identical. but whatever, i'm sure people rag on my outfits, hell, i look back at some pics and think, wtf was i thinking.
but as stated previously, let people have their fun, however they interpret it, as long as it doesn't impose on others fun and freedoms, have at it. i just can't stand when their inability to handle their drug of choice becomes a problem for me and trust me, the european clubs aren't without their problems: public enemy number one for women : itailian me!!!!!! sorry, they were just so disrespectful over there!!!!

This all is so true. It happened in the UK about 8 years ago - all these "cyberkids" were running about clubs, mostly underage and all thinking they were so different and individual but they actually all looked the same, just a mess of flourescent colors, glowsticks and bright hairdyes.
...but glowticks. Come on? I mean, once that "novelty" of something that glows being moved about so it makes "rad" patterns, wears off, well, the interest last less time than a glowstick does.
And yes, mediteranian men (don't forget the Spanish) have zero respect for boundaries with women in clubs, but you have to realise that an entire generation of drunk (and loose) british slags invading that island each year gave them the idea....
TOMMYFROMLA - I'm sure Ibiza did make your brain hurt. In turn, your post made my brain hurt. I think you used them all in Ibiza, so here are some periods . . . . . . . . . and some commas , , , ,
Seriously, though, you really like pacha that much. I though it was the most dated, most coked, most VIP tables on the dancefloor, worst music policy, crappest crowded club out of all the amazing venues on that island.
Also, I saw Mark Farina at Vanguard a couple of mmonths back and had such a good night there - the crowd was all quite sophisticated but up for it, not a glowstick in sight, well dressed/made an effort (but not many loofers or v necks on display). I suppose the Farina following would be a bit more that way inclined but it also gave you an impression of the club being better than it was, if you know what I mean. I mean to say, when it's filled with crackheads, it can look like a crack den.
