You feel like you on the cusp of chaos, randomness with a feeling that some strong yet strange lasso keeps it all under control (barely).
You can't figure out why - but the edge of insanity and sanity interweave in a way that energizes, a way that fuels, a way that rules.
No, no, there is no real danger... not in the physical (I’m going to get hurt myself).... but in the greater mind ("this could be explosive", "this could be me uninhibited") way.
CZ is an organism. You get absorbed - you move as one, groove as one, dance a one, all flows en-mass. If not, you stand on the exterior, trying to figure it out, but never truly enjoying it.
The key is to jump in to it - take the chance, risk your id (not I.D. - we're talking Freud's "Id")., expose yourself to the possibility of improbability and love every second.
CZ is the untamed animal - the beast that tricks one in thinking that one has grappled it, but really is bigger, more powerful than the one.
CZ is a church to the controlled random - the place for one to become oneself, without self-imposing (boundaries)...
As one focuses on the whole, rather than the specific, CZ becomes magik to the tenth-degree, beyond linear.
CZ is good. It requests intention, but gives back (exactly what has been intended). |

this gu yand willi wonka made me laugh.. it is true and it is funny.. because everysingle soul that has been to the zone know what this guy is talking about..
more people is afraid to admit their love for the zone because they dont wanna be considered as part of the sketchy crowd.. but real music lovers dont care.. just check ur coat.. go to the dance floor and enjoy urself.. in the end.. nobody is enjoying it more than u..
i used to go there almost every single weekend.. but i didnt think of my self as a sketchy person cuz i didnt really do any drugs there.. not for the fear.. but because i had enough of them friday and saturday night.. if im away from the zone right now its because the summer crowd makes me sick.. but winter is just around the block :P |

I did NO DRUGS at all when I was at the Zone. And I'd just come from a Guv party dancing all night and I'd done no drugs there either (so I was not sketchy at all, I was feeling fine and just naturally energized).
You do NOT need drugs to enjoy the zone IMO. I had a ing blast and no drugs were needed.
As 2 ppl above stated, it's NOT a gay club! I see more gay men at Boa than I see at the Zone.
One reason I happen to love the Zone is because of how hot it is down there -- I love dancing up a storm sans my shirt (a thing that is often common amoung gay men it seems from my experience). Even so, I certainly wasn't pressure or made to feel uncomfortable by any gay individuals there.
Look past that , Jesus. At most, it'd be 50-50 straight-gay ppl, and no way it's even that high if you ask me. What's the problem?
It's not like it's the Fly or Tangos, which are gay nightclubs/bars, almost ENTIRELY populated by gay men and women.
Man, seriously, to enjoy the Zone, you gotta go in w/ an open mind and not be so predjudiced.

The first time I went to the zone i had a terrible time and thought i would never go back.
I wasn't ready for what it was and was overwhelmed by how many people were in that type of place, so dark and so hot early on sunday morning.
But then I went back, and have now been back many times and have a completely different idea of the place.
Every week they have a killer lineup of DJ's just waiting to kick your ass with some of the hardest stuff you'll ever hear.
When I'm in the comfort zone I find something very liberating about dancing in the dark to hard tribal music. There's noone watching what you're wearing or how you're dancing.
The thing that makes the zone special is the moment when Deko-ze or whoever is spinning is building up a huge track. Everyone crowds next to the dj, and you can literally stand right next to the dj. With the ceilings so low, and the lights almost out, it makes the atmosphere very intimate. When the beat drops and the couple hundred people in there are all jumping up and down as deko-ze screams like crazy it feels as if the entire room in moving up and down.
Guvernment can't duplicate that in a million years.
That's what makes the zone awesome! |

thats what i love about it, and one of the first things I noticed that's so unique about the club. No club can duplicate that moment when the beat drops right after a huge build up, and EVERYONE on the dancefloor completely loses it.
And RJ summed up the Zone perfectly! The first time I went there, the first 15-20 minutes felt so awkward. I felt so out-of-place that I didn't know what to do with myself. But, as out-of-place as I felt, leaving was not an option. It crossed my mind, many times, but each time it did, I found myself closer to the centre of the dance floor until finally, I just let it all go. And thats when I truly felt it. |

sometimes i think it's Micheals Engery behind the decks that drives ppl on sunday mornings. i've never seen a DJ give out more enegry than his audience. |
