Crackorn, you still got that Vivid video contact #... YKHWD

atmnroze, you want flashy and you want a club --> go to SPA. Maybe check out Metronome or Suite 16, theyre more hip-hop oriented. Any place that's really flashy, it'll be a lounge. Clubs are more down to earth. FYI, in case u haven't heard....TUNNEL IS CLOSED. It's been closed for a while. That's why copahc was ripping on you.

LOL aphelion...I don't know who they are or who you are or what momo's crew is....sounds like some rave kids? i dont know...

exactly...i can't even recognize 90% of the board anymore...and the newbies just don't seem as much fun. besides, instead of complaing how weak it is, why don't u make it more exciting instead...it's not like CP has a squad of professional entertainers/posters here...its all about us and what we make of it

oh...well i want the mazda6!! lol...it looks hot...plus the S type is nicely equipped

I know this belongs on the Cars&Bikes forum but this post just wasn't getting enough exposure there.... Here's what I'm interested in: 1) Hyundai Sonata 2) Honda Accord 3) Dodge Stratus SE 4) Chevrolet Malibu 5) Oldsmobile Alero 6) Mazda6 7) Mitsubishi Galant I need a V6. American or Japanese, doesn't matter. Those are my preferences, but if you own something else that's midsize, I'll consider it. I have around $8,000 and the car can't be older than 1999 (preferrably 00-01). Willing to negotiate. PLEASE HELP OUT! If you or anyone you know is selling...please contact me!! My e-mail is in my sig, or you can just PM me. I don't want to go through a dealership because the comission/premium is ridiculous. THANKS!!!

Ferris, most of these people became friends through and because of this site...and they enjoy listening to each other's opinions and sharing thoughts with each other. Yes, this website is dedicated to clubs, but it's also a springboard for new friendships....

21 or 18+? club or lounge? chill-out or be seen? answer these questions and i may be able to help you

Guys, I know that some of you on this board are car buffs and HOPEFULLY know a lot more about cars than I do. SO.... Here is my story. I crashed my 1992 Chevy Lumina (which I loved and cherished even tho it was a piece of shit) 2 weekends ago. Now, the time has finally come to buy another car. I have about $8,000 allocated for it. Actually, my dad is buying it so I have to go along with his requirements. They are: 1) Car must be 1999 or younger 2) Has to be a mid-size sedan (no coupes, no sport cars, no SUVs) WHAT DO YOU GUYS RECOMMEND??? -and- DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY HOOKUPS FOR USED CARS??? Thanks so much!!

LOL tell me bout it.... if you wanna check out some other pics...go to http://www.andreoni.com/downloads.htm

thanks petp....the pic or the quote? the quote's from a househead24 post regarding SF....

like with everything, there are the good..and the bad Legendary promoters like Michael Alig and such are obviously not on the level of used car salesmen....they MAKE the party happen, from choosing which talent to book to setting a theme for the party... then there are the low-lifes that annoy the shit out of everyone with their flyers, countless posts, phone calls, etc. Case in point...i dont know him, but....myke....this kid's stuck his flyers into EVERY thread on this board...here's a hint (!) that's OVERDOING it

I would have rather seen Saddam and his cabinet be kicked out of power. Obviously, by force - send some Special Ops units in there and just assasinate the top leaders or stage some revolutionary coup, like we usually do in South America. That would've saved us time, money, human lives, and the embarassment of lacking international backing on the issue With a budget deficit of $100 billion, it seems foolish to wage a war that will easily cost us just as much. I am not anti-war at this point, since our troops are already there and it seems eminent...so now, of course, I fully support the American Army in the Gulf, and best of luck to them. BUT...I think we could've done this whole thing without a full-out war. Of course, I don't want to wait 5-10 years more until Iraq builds enough biochemical weapons to make America exinct, but given our economic situation and the views of the international community, we should've saved the trouble/expense of sending in 300,000 troops. An elite unit of 100 professionals would've been enough. To those that will start saying how hard it is to assasinate Saddam and how that does not guarantee that the regime will change, remember that no argument is flawless in this situation. But this seemed the most practical to me.

Myke, FUCK you, FUCK tony draper, and FUCK your blatant self-promotion. When I want your flyers wasting space in my thread, I'll tell you. Until then, get lost I am genuienly interested in the history of Palladium and that's why the thread was started....NOT because I wanted to give exit a chance to promote itself! Richie...I think he was referring to Myke's post, not your reply. And boston stuff is just part of his sig,,,,

I have recently read an article about the club in a magazine. The pictures they showed made the club look UNBELIVEABLE.... How was it? What were the parties like, what are some of your experiences there? I haven't had a chance to check it out myself, but those that did, please share! I'd love to find out about it. Thanks!

same as ladyshady.... First club experience was at Roseland never really been to a rave, just not my thing...but I did go to the Footloose party at Tunnel..didn't know it was gonna be a rave tho

PFloyd40......I completely agree with you...just because you move on, doesn't make you a poser...you can still be passionate about something, even for a short time. [btw, how's that job search going? we gotta get a BREAK in this market...] runway...I'm in the same boat....lounges and classier events just seem more appealing now...I guess simply b/c you can actually mingle and meet new people, whereas in clubs you barely hear what the person next to you is saying. Also, you're right...going to the same place, no matter how MUCH you love it, becomes monotonous. How many people on this board can actually say that they've been to the same club - week in, week out - for years? dangeroustoy...this is how I used to sound when I was all into clubs too... "I can never grow out of this, it's just much fun" I did, however....but I don't regret ANY of my clubbing experiences FOR ONE SECOND. If anything, clubs have allowed me to have a different perspective on life, opened up my mind, and provided me with countless new experiences that I will cherish for a long time. I'm not saying that YOU will necessarily move onto something else, that's just how it worked out for me. If, in 5 years, you still get that butterfly feeling before going out to a club and you still enjoy dancing and letting loose until the sun comes up...more power to ya...there's no right or wrong about it. Ferris...1) if you don't go to clubs anymore, that doesn't mean you don't go out...there IS life outside of them...2) like I said earlier, I personally don't post on clubplanet anymore, specifically for the reason that I can't really relate to most of the posts on here nowadays

Randy, of course if you nitpick every detail, some of my impressions will be inaccurate. I was simply referring to the generic types of music in order to differentiate. Obviously, there isn't JUST techno out there, nor is techno a completely appropriate term for referring to that genre of music. But for the purpose of my post, I have decided to label it that way...and we both know what I meant by it.

yea why not, i'll come out...i havent met any new members on here in a WHILE.... wheres the meetup? im broke, not goin ANYWHERE...working the whole week instead...

THANK YOU guys, for responding and for keeping this drama-free...I didn't expect too many responses just because I figured my post would be too long to read. househead24, nice story! Thanks for sharing... girly, hi hun!! I havent seen you in forever, how have you been? Just to add a little to my previous post...of course, I agree with everyone, drugs are bad and not a true way to enjoy clubs. And yes, they definitely were a big part of MY clubbing experience...just because some people are more exposed to them than others and some have better self-control than others. I'll be honest, I usually had a better time with drugs in clubs. BUT...that doesn't necessarily mean I was a poser...I did go sober too, especially when an amazing DJ spun. I wasn't in the scene JUST for the drugs...I love techno music and I can definitely appreciate a good DJ and great tracks. Drugs simply provided me with a way to enhance my experience. I just found it weird how I could be SO MUCH into clubs at one point in my life, to the point where they were the very reason for my existence...and then become so indifferent to them later on. Of course, clubbing changed my life, and probably for the better. But nowadays, I just don't share my friends' enthusiasm when they run up to me and scream "Brooooo, Peters was OFF THE HOOK last weekend!! It was AMAZING, we have to go this Saturday!!" He'll be amazing every Saturday. And if not him, then somebody else, and if not at Sound Factory, then elsewhere. Maybe you guys are right...maybe I had it all wrong from the beginning, and focused on all the wrong aspects of clubbing, only to find out that it's not for me. Or maybe it WAS for me at one point but my perspectives have shifted...either way, I feel like that part of my life is now behind me and I am starting to move on. We'll see what the future brings...

I don't know about you guys, but I first heard about clubland when I was 15. My good friend at the time has visited Sound Factory for the first time and he spent a good 2 hours describing and reliving the experience for me. I was listening with my mouth open the whole time. The music, the crowd, the setting he was describing...it all seemed so surreal and exciting. From that moment on, I knew I would become a clubber. And so it was. At first, like the rest of the little kids, I started off by frequenting NO-ID parties. As bad as they are [now I know] they seemed like the best experiences of my life at the time. When I first entered a club...the lights, the bass, the sheer immensity of the space - it all blew me away. Thousands of people were congregated in front of me, all moving in complete unison to the beat. It was like watching some kind of a giant organism breathe in house music. It was beautiful. From my very first time, I was hooked. Going to a club became the highlight of each month - not only did I have a lot of fun AT the parties, but I was also one of the first kids in my high school to start going to these and it felt good to know so (back then Factory wasn't comprised of 16 year olds and no-ids weren't yet 12 and under). Then I decided to take the next step. Before I even stepped foot in the place, I called up Sound Factory and offered to become their promoter. They forwarded me to Jeff Fusion and he set me up with my first guestlist. I know it sounds lame now, but it was really exciting at the time. I was 16, promoting for a real club, getting paid for partying and having fun...it was the time of my life. I loved everything about the place - the vibe, the way the people looked/dressed, the music, and of course, the drugs. I am not going to lie, drugs have been a central point of my club experience from the very beginning. I took my first hit at 15 and it just went downhill from there on. I became sucked into the Factory culture. The week did not matter anymore...I only lived for the weekend. Friday nights became sacred, as they provided me with a way to release the stress from the week passed and recharge me for the week lying ahead. I stopped eating dinner on Friday nights, because the tingly feeling in the pit of my stomach prevented me from eating. It was the feeling of excitement, of going out to a club with your closest friends, having the BEST night of your life...and being able to do it every single week. That summer was priceless. I made some good friends at the club and everyone seemed extra friendly and laid-back. I ate, slept, and breathed Sound Factory. Tanning, waxing, and gym entered my daily routine (well, not as much as the juiceheads there but definitely more than before). I found out what spikes were and where to get all the trendy club gear that made the SF kids look so good. Every time I walked down that staircase onto the mainfloor, I felt like I was entering a different world. Everyone was fashionable, good looking, and most of all, everyone could dance. The magic of that summer eventually came to an end and my promoter career was temporarily put on hold. School started and I got back into the routine of my daily grind. Still, I was simply unable to let go of my weekend escape and I went back to SF as much as possible. It just wasn't the same though. After that summer, the party went into a steady decline, finally culminating in the lay-off of the entire Friday night promotion crew. I'm guessing it was part of Richard Grant's 'brilliant' marketing and cost-cutting strategy. Around the same time, I began looking into other clubs. Roxy was becoming my second home, as the SF Friday kids began migrating over. ClubPlanet also has it's share in influencing my clublife with it's countless meet-ups, member parties, and VIP cards. I can say with certainty that most of the clubbers I've met have been members of ClubPlanet.com. Even my girlfriend that year, my first love and closest friend at the time, was from CP. The disappearance of Sound Factory Fridays have led me to explore other options in club land. At this point, I rotated my weekends between Roxy, Exit, and Vinyl. The drug use just kept growing. I was up to two, sometimes three hits a night by this point and K was quickly becoming my new drug of choice. The whole 'promoter' idea spiraled out of control - I was now running lists in Roxy, Exit, and the World simultaneously while brining in $0 from all three combined. It was getting ridiculous. I remember talking to my best friend at this point and telling him: "I hope that I grow out of this. Because I would hate to be 24, still taking pills and puking my guts out in the bathroom stalls." I figured it was a phase that would pass, since I started so early. My prediction turned out to be right - I began growing out of it, even earlier than I expected. By summer 2002, my club debauchery was beginning to cool down. I was still very much into the music, but the drug use began decreasing and becoming rarer. So did my club appearences. I just couldn't find the time anymore and, for some reason, the whole experience just didn't seem as enticing as it used to. I visited Sound Factory for the last time in the beginning of September. That was also pretty much the last time I've touched drugs. Without a doubt, I had a fun time. But after reflecting back on it, I realized that it was fun mostly because of the 5 jars that I split with another friend. I started looking for a different way to spend my weekends and discovered smaller venues and lounges. Alcohol is now my drug of choice. I still love techno, but hip-hop is also becoming my favorite music style. I now spend my Thursday and Friday nights at places like Suite 16, Lobby, Bungalow 8, Cream, etc. I also more or less stopped posting on any club sites, since I feel like I have nothing to contribute to these message boards anymore. The upcoming events of Exit and such have stopped concerning me. I don't mean to sound elitist or snotty. I have just found for myself that danceclubs are a phase of life and, as dominating as they might seem at any one point, it will pass. I have moved on before most of my friends did, and feel no interest when they discuss the next club event. But maybe that's just me. What do you guys think?

joeg, the iRiver slimX 350 is simply beautiful, if you're thinking of buying one. i got it when it just came out and back then it was like $220 or something but i dont regret it for a second. it basically doesn't skip at all, and it plays mp3s on cds (which is really - except for the size - so much better than MP3 players) and it still manages to be ridiculously small. i highly recommend it...you can even buy the new remote for the IMP-400 at Iriver's estore and that way ull have a phattt cd player for like $130. anyways, to answer the question, i have a bose 6-speaker system in my car, no amp or anything....and an Aiwa 5.1 400W dolby system in the house

WHAT A SURPRISE!!! you know what amazes me? everyone bashes exit, nobody likes it, and we all agree that marvisi is a scumbag who'll use his club to cheat the patrons out of money any way he can ...and YET... i see the same bullshit posts WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK about how you decided to give exit a chance "for that one last time" and how greatly you are now disappointed. here's an idea: stop going and quit whining. you KNOW what you are in for when you go there, so dont act like an innocent victim of a cruel club scam! its always the same shit, never changes....im just so sick of hearing about these 'exit horror stories'

d/p

yea i did, had a pretty good night.... started the evening off by going to some restaurant in little italy with friends from school.... then drove back to my friends pad to pre-game, and they convinced me to come to Lobby with them. thought i'd check it out since its a new place and all....it was alright....$10 to get in isnt so much but the music was very iffyy at times, not my style. it's just like any other lounge, really...sorta like Suite 16 only with less good-looking people lol...so i'll stick to suite from now on... then headed back down to Negril for my friend's bday and actually had a lot of fun there....good music, fun crowd, cheap drinks...its alll good wound the night down at Josie Woods...some local tavern or something...it was pretty dead by that point but i just went there to relax with some friends and it was fine for that...
