I think I need a little groove time tonight, any suggestions? I can't tell if Dance Ritual is still on at Vinyl...the hot line lists it, but it may not be updated from the weekend's raid. what else is happening? looking for a casual club to sweat in, not a scene, I probably won't last past 2am thanks FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

Daniella: thumbs up on the straight-edge status, babe! actually, I made it all the way to 29 1/2 without doing any drugs of any kind (except alcohol). I think I'm just one of those fortunate people who have a gift of being able to get a natural chemical high from dancing. I just feel so damn good when I do it, that I never had the inclination to try drugs with it. very recently I tried e a few times because I was with a wonderful friend who made me feel exceptionally comfortable. but I have to say that it doesn't help the dancing experience for me at all. actually, I've found that I can't take e when I go clubbing---the music feels too aggressive then and I'm too stupid to dance with any style. plus, the hot sweaty claustrophobic environment of a club just doesn't feel good while on e. instead, I've saved a rare occasional "goodie" for happy huggy situations like a close party, preferably outdoor. but I still have to say that I don't think the high of dancing and the high of e compare. I truly prefer the first. I've just used the second if I'm seriously down. not that I'm preaching against those who chemically indulge, everyone's got their own thing. actually, I'm thankful so many people do roll while clubbing---it means I can act as buck ass crazy as I want and people will just assume I'm high like everyone else. *wg* so anyway, rock on with your sober self, sistah! FG PS--yep, when I would go out dancing once or twice a week, it sure made the body look sweeter. ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

true, true. I guess they've been the closest thing I've found since that 6th element thing out on randalls island. my standards have lowered to meet the lack of opportunities. *s man, what I wouldn't give for a rooftop, good vibe-ing, ps1 feeling, killer cuts rave. FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

"mr. sick"-- of course! snow cones! why didn't I think of that? guys dig snow cones. and clogs! guys really like clogs! getting wiggy wit it--- hmmm...thanks for the scoop. I actually have quite a collection of wigs. but aren't they awfully hot to dance in? and I jump & shake all around when I dance, what are the odds of it flying off? boy, that would suck: hey you there, can you move back? you're standing on my sweaty wig? I'm looking for a cross between stylin sweet and utilitarian comfort. gracias FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

I think you're right. it totally has a Lords sound to it. FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

>>"I am thin and gorgeous" ** that's another good one! but I was thinking of that kitschy song where the woman keeps saying "I want to touch myself"...[i have it on a mixed tape somewhere] ...."I love my body, I have a great body, I want to touch myself"...in between there's a lull where she just starts slowly repeating "I'm sexy, I'm beautiful, I'm gorrrrgeous"...I always thought everyone should wake up to that song. re: motivational speaking.... hmmm, given the neurotic state of the city, you could make quite a bit of money doing that. *gg FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

f***ing funny as hell. LMAO. I believe divalicious and I will be holding "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" meetings weekly. what's that 90s song?..."I'm fabulous, I'm sexy, I'm gorrrgeous..." FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

cool idea, thanks. I think I'm just going through "glowing head" withdraw (or is it withdrawal? I always mess that up) FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

the politically correct term for "bitch": "domestic smack-down partner for purely physical pleasure but only if they want to" FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

"Mr. Wiest was the second young person in recent years whose death has been linked to the club" --they've got to be kidding. only 2 deaths in 2+ years and this is considered a problem?! people will always exhibit poor judgement, no matter what the environment. if he died in a McDonalds, the city wouldn't be trying to shut all fast food chains down. for the love of god! this is just too stupid for me to tolerate! the first thing to come to mind: "it ain't eazy bein greazy in a world full of cleanliness and good" oh, toss it all. FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

remember all the gatien clubs closing in the mid 90s? if those drug dens can reopen, I'm sure vinyl will be up and running again. FG btw, I haven't seen a rave since that sardine fest at Exit many months back. are they extinct? ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

no DT, no S&D. dang, it's becomming a grey week for the club world. FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

what an eloquent way to say a simple thing. I've always thought that...there are 40 y/o girls and 18 y/o women...it's a state of mind, not a state of body. FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

you coincidently hit the best clubs on their best nights. karma high five to you. lil' insiders tip for your next visit, check out TimeOut NY and other nightlife guides, see which clubs are listed as the "hottest" (note, not "best") clubs...and avoid those like the plague. that'll pretty much ensure a good time. FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

try a corner in the meat packing district or if you're an uptowner, I hear 42nd street sells 'em pretty cheap. FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

is this declaration prompted by something in particluar or are you just having a "I am woman, hear me roar moment" this morning? I kinda like CHIC--Crazy Hot Intelligent Creature...for some reason, I prefer to leave the "K" off, I like the double meaning...I think I'm the only person who does that. FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

napster's back up? last I heard it was shut down a month or so ago. FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

I'll also be out of town this weekend, but hope y'all have a good time. maybe you'll set up another meet & greet so I can catch all you crazy old folks. *s FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

um...guys?...I believe that's called severe dehydration. e is one of the few drugs that actually causes dehydration while it works. add to that hours of sweating while dancing. plus e raises your body temp and increases your heart rate. and not many people want to stop and have a meal while rolling. ...all that together means a possible temporary weight loss. to give you an idea of how severe that is for your body, the most fat/weight your body can actually lose per week is only like 2 lbs. which means everything else is vital fluids. so be good to yourself! drink lots and lots and lots of water, gatorade, juice, etc. do NOT drink alcohol, that will further dehydrate you. if you bring a baby bottle with you you may be more inclined to continue drinking (snip the nipple opening so it's larger). FireGirl rave fairy *w* as a final tidbit, I believe that most hospitalizations or deaths while on e occur because the person's body temp reached an exceedingly high level (or they did the drug cocktail)--not from the actual drug itself. ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

"my rave insight guidebook " ...what's this? FG ------------------ "I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire..."

FIRST, THERE WAS LIGHT-- I used to have cravola hair (crayola + rave) ...first pink, then blue. I'd wear it in high pigtails when I'd go clubbing and stick several mouth-size glow sticks in the bands. this served several purposes: 1) I became the favored trip toy 2) friends who were meeting me at the club could easily find me 3) I was the homebase beacon when the group got seperated 4) it gave me that "special" feeling MAMA ALWAYS SAID DON'T RUN WITH SCISSORS-- recently, I became inexplicably annoyed at having hair and took the clippers to it... digging it, but... NEED HELP, CALL POLICE-- how does a rockstar pixie-ravechic reclaim her fabulousity with a 'do that's somewhere between "spritely" and "questionable sexual orientation"? I can't bear the thought of going out "spunkless." oh the plight of the creatively addicted. FG ------------------ ------------- I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire...

lordy, girl! calm down! a) ain't no embarrassment here you're a cutie c) you gave him your # saturday...it's only MONDAY if he has any kind of life, he was probably out and about during the weekend, which didn't give him much time to call. he's also probably trying to avoid (perceived) geekedom by waiting a bit. I mean, if he called you 2hrs after you gave him the #, he'd feel desperate. I don't know the circumstances under which you gave him your #, but just be friendly too him. pop over and ask how his weekend was, what he did. see if he wants to grab lunch together. if you're really diggin him, mention some hot night that's happening this week and see if he wants to meet you there. be friendly and casual. and for pete's sake, take a breath. *s* FG ------------------ ------------- I have only one burning desire...let me stand next to your Fire...

newbie, so let me get this straight... y'all meet up periodically to get to know each other, make plans to club? what a sweet, cool idea. but lordy, there must be a mass of you. do you ever just plan to meet up at a bar or diner b4 heading to a club? digging this board and would love to have more folks to club with... FG

AAAHHHH! so jazzed by this thread. I'm at the big 3-0, mentally going on 2-0. what a kick that there's a crew of you who didn't get into the club scene til the late 20s or early 30s. and all this time I thought I was the only kook. just a little amusing anecdote for you agers: I was at vinyl a few months ago and this nice guy grooved up and hung with me for a couple of songs. he introduced himself & told me his age (18). when I reciprocated (30), his face when blank for a moment. then he said "how nice that people your age still do this". then promptly went off to chat up a pony-tailed young-un. ...not that I'm trying to rob the cradle, I just thought it was fun to have some company for a bit, but man, was that funny. FG in the words of Jimmy Buffett: I'm growing older but not up my metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck let the winds of time blow over my head I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead

Twilo's a free-for all. depends on the time of night and the night itself. chelsea boys, rave kids, very ordinary looking folks. I've even noticed some model-y types. its a scattering. dress in what makes you feel good, like rockstar good, not cozy slippers good. fyi, I usually "dress" a bit more going to twilo than vinyl, but that's more coz I can than I feel I have to.
