patois

who's been to mannequin's dance club on disney's pleasure island? i was there this past weekend and it was surprisingly sophisticated. i have no idea who the DJs were but they knew what they were doing. some of the stuff included remixes of Lasgo I've never heard, and some other smooth, streamlined trance with nice buildups, similar to what I have heard at Space. also a plus is the revolving dance floor...dancing had not felt so new to me since i had first discovered my inner party demons as a virginal college freshman

cool. what's more common for you...cooking your favorite food or ordering it? The best pizza for me is usually in NYC pizzarias...although the ones on SoBe come pretty close

I knew someone would take the low road eventually, but I was hoping it wouldn't be the first person to respond and kill the whole thread

Mine is pizza with lots of cheese and veggies like peppers, onions and mushrooms.

I'm a third year law student, about to graduate in May (YES!!. ) Also work part-time for a general practitioner lawyer.

brwneydtrouble, i used to go out alone a lot...but I have found a lot of things wrong with going out to the places I go if you're female. First of all, there's the danger factor...especially when I'm leaving the place I have to pray I'll make it back to my car without getting raped or mugged. Then there's the problem of being alone in the club itself. I will be happily sweating away on the dance floor and then I have to escape from unwanted dance partners. Most of them will just grab you...and I hate having to fight them off myself, all night. Along with that, there's criticism I get from people once they find out you're out alone. Once I was walking down Collins alone and some guy that I passed said, "If you were my sister I'd be pissed," about how I was out walking alone. Other people just think there's something wrong with me. I went out by myself for years, but it's left a bitter taste in my mouth. I guess the best thing I can say is that I had some great experiences that I would have missed had I stayed home alone. But now I'd rather have people to share the fun with anyway.

I never got the chance to say how much clubbing is enough for me, because the only reason I don't go out more is because I won't go out clubbing alone. But if there was someone to go with me any old time I wanted, maybe I'd go out 7 days a week. That's the factor no one seems to acknowledge that has a lot to do with how much you go out.

Joni Mitchell, when she was younger and making better music (late '60s, early '70s)

I can bring some hummus, pita bread, and veggies...since it looks like we need some more vegetarian stuff.

So true. This guy was a genius.

Sir Mix-A-Lot: "Baby Got Back" - classic.

It was very good set? Yeah, it was the first time I heard him live, too.

Thanks all. I look forward to the next time I'm at Space and seeing where Markus (and maybe others) take me....

...He produced a very lush, vibrant, rhythmic landscape. His sound was rich and sophisticated. It alternated between being appropriately sparse, static, pulsating - it began with a many-layered sea of synthesized voices. A few times he introduced a theme that would soar like an eagle over a canyon, over the fabric of subordinate voices and pulses. One theme was a brief echoey xylophone riff in an eerie mode. Another was a deep, recorded, voice narration. 'It's time to party like we used to,' it darkly urged...
