Point is... Starting this weekend, the club is promising to severly limit admission on special event nights. This would ensure your entry into a club that has room to dance on nights that have been traditionally too packed to move.

further to that They will be running a seperate entrace for card holders... therefore there's the cost of another cashier, more security to run the second line and czech ID and search you. There are some legitimate costs the club will need to cover.

Doesn't change how ignorant the people are. Why do people come on here just to be pricks? How does that help?

I was in line waiting for water and I heard someone comment on how bad the DJ (Doc) was. Made me shake my head. Such ignorance... That was some incredible music and mixing. Acid... Acid... Acid... Acid...

such a pathetic message board

Thank you for that enlightening addition.

I really enjoyed Fold Your Hands. It's not over poppy, but damn is it enjoyable. Great for listening to when walking to work. I find B&S are becoming an acoustic version of Stereolab. So that's all fine with me.

Just when I thought to myself... "Hey look! An actual post about music on the clubplanet board!" Again this board rises to new levels of stupidity. Well, at least now I know where the band got their name. R.I.P. Clubplanet [This message has been edited by spoonyd (edited 04-09-2001).]

Heavy use of ecstasy damages memory: study Canadian Press Toronto — Long-term use of the popular club drug ecstasy damages "everyday" memory, a pair of Toronto researchers reported Tuesday. The study is the first to follow a group of ecstasy users over time and it shows an erosion in their episodic and prospective memory after a year, said co-author Konstantine Zakzanis, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of Toronto's Scarborough campus. Episodic memory comes into play when, for instance, you try to recall an item from a newscast viewed earlier in the day or relay a story you have recently heard. Prospective memory is the recall you use when you need to remember to do a task, such as set your alarm clock. "We don't know whether or not there are any consequences of using it just a few times. But we do know from our study that the more one uses it, the greater probability that you will have some problems in terms of memory," Prof. Zakzanis said. The study adds to a growing body of evidence that ecstasy, which has been blamed for deaths in Canada, takes a neurological toll on users. It was published in Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Ecstasy is the street name for methylenedioxymethamphetamine — also known as MDMA — which providers users with a long lasting euphoric high by stimulating brain activity. "You could almost think of it as a Prozac multiplied by 100," he said, referring to the popular anti-depressant. Late last month two British researchers reported at a meeting of the British Psychological Society that ecstasy use may be linked to damage in the areas of the brain that deal with planning and remembering daily activities. And last summer, a Scottish researcher reported that ecstasy could damage users's body clocks, making them feel permanently jet-lagged. Prof. Zakzanis and his colleague, Donald Young of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, recruited 15 frequent ecstasy users for their study. The participants — ranging in age from 17 to 31 — were predominantly (80 per cent) male. On average, they took ecstasy 2.4 times a month, though some took as many as eight hits a month. "There was sort of a threshold," Prof. Zakzanis said. "So once people were getting into about the eight-hits-per-month range, those are the ones who were quite strikingly doing poorly on the test. The ones who weren't doing it as often weren't as bad as those that were." The researchers did not provide the subjects with the drug or ask them to take the drug. "These were people who were doing it long before we came along," Prof. Zakzanis said. Subjects were put through a neuropsychological test at the beginning of the trial and a year later. Each time they were asked to abstain from all drugs for at least two weeks before the evaluation. The researchers tested their blood and urine for drugs to ensure subjects had lived up to the promise. People who use ecstasy often experience sleep deprivation, which can affect cognitive performance. One of the reasons the researchers asked subjects to cleanse their systems of drugs was to ensure they had at least seven nights of adequate sleep before they performed the tests. During one, they were read a short passage of prose and asked to recall as much of it as possible, both immediately and a short time later. They were also shown series of pictures of faces and objects and were later asked to pick the cards they'd seen from a larger group. In a third, an alarm was set to go off in 20 minutes. Participants were told to ask a particular question when the alarm sounded. The subjects were brought back a year later and put through the same battery of tests. In some of the tasks — for instance the ability to remember the details of a passage of prose — participants showed a marked decline in ability, Prof. Zakzanis said. "We saw the greatest sort of deficits in that area, story recall it's called," he said. "They have a problem getting that information into their brains." Having longitudinal data from the same set of subjects provides solid evidence of the conclusion, Prof. Zakzanis said. "Because we followed them over a year and we saw that all of them had decreases in their test scores, nobody improved, we could lay a little bit of a safer bet on the fact that ecstasy is probably monkeying around with our serotonin receptors in our brain and therefore our memory." About half the participants were so disturbed by the findings that they swore off ecstasy, Prof. Zakzanis said. That provides the researchers with an ideal opportunity to look at another aspect of the puzzle — "whether these are permanent or reversible damages." Prof. Zakzanis and Mr. Young plan to do a third evaluation on the subjects to look at that question later this year.

he was just scopin' yur ass. can you blame him?

Let's see... non-sensical? check drama enducing? check rhetorical? check Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! 5 posts and still no sign of being anything other than a useless asshole. get a life. I'm done. spoony out

emiliep check this thread out... You haven't spoken about anything. Hell, you couldn't even even comment on the original topic (as stupid as it was). All you've done is call people names and generally protray yourself as an ass. That is the ignorance to which I refer. Intelligent off-topic conversation would be welcome in light of the non-sensical, drama inducing, rhetorical shit you and so many new people on this board wallow in. By the way... what's this "..this whole time" to which you refer? The whole month of March?

site must be down for some reason - I might bother with uploading it to my cnyc library if it doesn't come back up.

I don't think timeless means unforgetable. By my definition it means music you can put on and not think... boy, this sounds just like 1985 (like say, the theme to Miami Vice... not a timeless song). I do believe there are timeless techno tracks... one of my fav's - Jaydee - Plastic Dreams. The song does not sound 10 years old. You could play it anywhere, anytime... ergo the sample in Wackass Motherfucker. It is truly a timeless track.

Yeah you know me.

it's Brant St., (not Brent) also, if you dig Roxy and the Paint Store (can't believe that's still going)... Try Vinyl on Saturday night or Sunday evening. Centro-fly might also be up your alley depending on who's there. You'll hate Twilo... Think, System Sound Bar on Fridays, meets, Guvernment, all with a huge adrenaline injection. goto www.undergroundNYC.com and hit the message board there and ask around... they'll give the real d/l for a tru houser.

just curious where you heard that?

$30? Who's been smoking crack?

oh geez, ritchie is just going to love the KOP. pete, you know you're already on thin ice after free drink demands last satruday the coked, smoked, liquured white trash routine should put you kids over the top.

clubs and bars that have dj's performing live (or play any music) are required to pay licensing fees to ASCAP. The onus is upon the establishment, not the DJ. It runs around $500 a year I believe, but I could be wrong.

*sniff* nobody loves me. FINE keep your asses downstairs - we don't need the likes of you punks killing our vibe upstairs where the *real* cool people come to drink. jerks

orchard bar is a 15 or so walk from the Leopard Lounge, but you won't want to leave. <in haunting mysterious voice> Come to the Lep... COME TO THE LEP I'll be playing prolly from 1 till 4. This week is LeisureTECH, with some of the techier house sounds to get the asses shaking. And of course Pete (schwingep) will be downstairs with the KOP for the first night of their monthly residence. see everyone Saturday (I'll be the dude in the yellow Ecko hat). d ps - if anyone has any questions, or wants to be my chickehead for the night - spoonyd@leisuresociety.com
