And I have a g.f. so I don't want a woman (who most likely has some sort of STD) all over me cause I would get my assssssssssssssss kicked.



You know, if you had posted here and said you didn't enjoy going to clubs/techno music, or whatever...it would have been fine. But, instead, you spew out some close minded, ignorant crap. Guess what? Nobody cares what you think is lame. Maybe in bumblef@ck MN a good time could be had drinking out behind the barn, and milking the bulls with the rest of the hillbillies, but this is NYC. The greatest city in the world. We get down.

How many times have I heard a straight man say he wants to dance all night long....well, there's a few hundred I see EVERY friday night doing just that. If physical contact with beautiful members of the opposite sex is gay, then I guess I wanna be as gay as possible. Have fun with your cousin...err..."G.F."

how often do u go to avalon? i still havent been there. crobar and spirit in the last few weeks though. i heard a lot of people saying they didnt like avalon cuz its a small tight dancefloor and the crowd tends to suck.




I am there pretty much every week. I'm trying to cut back to every other week now, the partying is just costing too much stinking money. I haven't been to crobar ever, spirit is really nice but they play too much "commercial" music. I missed out on the Jonathan Peters party there last week too. Damn.

Avalon is smaller than most other clubs, but the only dance floor that is PACKED is in the hip hop room. It doesn't bother me, cause I don't go in there much. Even though it's pretty much an orgy in there. It has never been as packed in Avalon as it was in say...exit. And exit was REALLY bad at times. There's usually plenty of space on the main floor, and there's also a balcony above it.

As far as the crowd...well, let me be clear that the crowd at avalon is predominantly a drug crowd. People go there to trip out, hear HARD music, and get freaky. It's actually calmed down a bit in recent months though. I tend to go on friday nights, they have both Tony Draper and Johnny Vicious playing...they are both great DJ's (I've had the honor of meeting them a few times) and they usually end up having a nice little battle by the end of the night. A friend of mine, Chris Asta opens on friday night as well. Every few weeks they have some famous DJ there. Few months back they had Blank & Jones, more recently they had Christopher Lawrence. The smaller size of the club makes it alot better. I mean, you can get within a few feet of these guys, without being in the DJ booth (which is great too!). I haven't gone on saturday in a while, mostly because the guy who gets me in for free works on friday...but the first sat. of every month is Bad boy bill...which i want to check out.

I dunno about the crowd sucking...I've definitley met some "interesting" and flat out scary people there, but there's really no problems. No fights, nothing. And, I've met alot of people from other countries there. Last friday I was hanging out with 2 slammin' girls from ontario. The week before that, I was talking BMW's with this blonde from Germany. I've met girls from the UK, and even stole a brazilian away from her boyfriend. Definitley not a bad crowd. Again, most people go there to get really f'ed up and let loose, if you're not into that then you probably won't like it that much. I've never brought anyone there with me that hasn't had a great time though. If you want to come let me know, I can get tickets cheap.
