Big on the titles tonight... could be "sb: How to set your internal c...ummm.. lock ahead one hour"..... Rilly tho, clupdate! Ok, now, ok... What have we got here..No I didn't see no bands tonight...BUT, yes, *but*, seems the club scene, me be familiar with, changed a bit.... "time won't change you, money won't change you...I haven't got the faintest ideaeaeaaaa...everything seems to be up in the air at this point......." Where wuz I.... Ok. First, the Chameleon...Lach wasn't there...Lach, yes the anti-folk scene lach, wuzn't there...He wuz bartending for a while, and bar was thuroughly empty... Seems they painted the place black, black lights, funky dj, funky bartender, funky day-glo artverk...and there were a few more people there.... Particularly, pairs of single girls [once very desperate Mike]....Rilly tho, they had a dancer on a platform, go go dancer [arty, not "go go" per se], and the mode was quite a bit different not bad at all.... Dance, drink 2.50 Rolling rocks, in a bottle no less.. Rilly, "hold the paper up to the light, some rays pass right through,..." Ok, rilly tho, definately watering hole situation, mellow, interesting, happening... Next up wuz King Tuts Wah Wah hut, yes..."Think of london, small city, dark, dark in the daytime, people sleep sleep in the daytime, if they want to, if they want to...." Ok, king tuts, playing disco, like most of the bars in the east village, kinda blending in, found out that I almost got me arm broken last time I got tossed, which wuz good, the man acknoldged me before he tossed me out this time... wuz still worried I had too good a buzz on tho... He said "You sober tonight?..."...."well yeah, I got here early just for that reason...sose I wouldn't have to put you through the trouble of tossing me..." still I had a wicked buzz on...So I wuz a little nervous...What with the music tho? Might have something to do with beowolf, which had people standing at the door..extrememly frightening...I mean, comon... didn't even try to get in, wasn't up for rejection....Had to make sure I could still get into King Tuts anyway.... So Beowolf has door activity, King Tuts wuz dispensing with the jukebox und playing rap und dance... The East Village wuz hopping all in all actually. People taking advantage of the nice wedder, the streets wuz moving... "Do you remember anyone here ere ere rer .. no you don't remember anything at all, I'm sick and I'm flat on my back, never woke up...... there's a party in my mind, and I hope it never stops...there's a party up there all the time, they party till they drop..."..... That's talking heads I'm quoting here, happen to be listening to fear of music..killer stuff... Ok...Next up, wuz Zone Dk, I wuz tempted to dispense with the whole east village scene, and just hit there....good thing I didn't...On ave A someone presented [dropped in front of] me with a nice 50 dollar bill...turned to give it back, but they were ummm...walking too fast and I wasn't in a yelling mood, and 50 bucks smelt very good.... "air, aiaiaiar, aiaiaiaiar, aiaiaiaiaiar....Hit me the face, I run faster, faster,faster, faster, faster, into the air, I say to myself, what is happening to my skin, where is that protection that I needed, aiaiaiar can hurt you too...".... So I hit Zone Dk, and finally realized that the clientele is basicly radiation victims [umm really, pretty frightening looking volks..]... And the place wuz dead, tho the dancers weren't really bad.... But still, silent night there, like solid like...But still, can't get over how cool a spot to drink it is tho...It's definately a splendid "room"...romper room.... Still read the school notebooks, mellow, laid back, SM club... Empty space...Mellow....Strange but true... Happening room.. Like I said to the guy who owned it, who I found my self in converstation with, at about closing time... I said, "hey, this is one *great* room...it should be packed!"...He said, "well, people like the sleazy stuff...like the vault [last stop, heh! huh huh huh]..." Once Hellfire club...really wuz sleazy, thought it had died, wuz wrong... Ok... So I asked him about the shows he wuz throwing, metal mostly... Said he couldn't do it, people didn't drink enough...that *is* how they make their bucks...reminisced about old paddles, and mighta compromised someone I'd know back den...Made point to reminention Hells Angels looking dude, who got his, umm privates tide up with rope bigtime... "trust in them, a big mistake, animals want, to change my life, i will ignore animals advice, they're never there when you need them, they're never their when you call them...." Looking forward to the Slave auction, when it's packed, which they have once a month nowadays... Next stop was the Vault! Once Hellfire, the grungiest, forked up club going in its hayday... It's still just about the same, probably new owner [on paper]...It seems to be catching its grove again...SLEAZY!!! Last time I wuz there, it was kinda chilled, there were stories in the post etc about "electric guitar, is run over, too fast, by a car, on the highway, this is a crime against the state, this is the meaning you'll find..tune this electric guitar".... Xomesing or other about it... Something about unsafe sex taking place... But *NOW* it's back pretty strong, not much Eulenspiegal going down, but it's sleazy again to the max, dig it big time... Eulenspiegal'll be back, you watch..I will! Still a big foot worship scene going down, and some tame slaving, not quite as oppressive atmosphere as I remember, which is cool, how it should be...But it's happening... Getting back where it belongs.... SO there it is, the alternative, *real* alternative CLUPDATE! Chameleon, black lite scene, cheap brews... Beowolf, door activity, passed up.... King Tuts, they let me in, music change of pace, rap, public enemy.... Zone Dk, needs your support, killer room, the friendly SM club.....The Vault, ex-hellfire does good, no booze, no beer, soda, but hey, you get totally trashed and stay there till 5 5:30 in the morning, it's a head flip, even remembering when it was in its hayday, something most probably wouldn't have to do. And last, but not least.

ummm...never mind..."and all i see is little dots...." Turn those clocks up one hour!!!!!!! ~wioioioioioioish~... [this wuz A Public Service Announsement]
