someclown Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Let's face facts. New York afterhours is basically dead. SF is pretty much done, Arc is over in March, and our last bastion of hope was Crobar which is no longer going that route. All that is left is Centro, which is trying to score a profit anyway it can because no one goes there anymore, and Discoteque, which is a zoo, and you can't even move. It really blows. People can talk all they want about how it's actually better because only the druggies go out at that time, etc., but one of the great things about New York was that there used to be so much choice. Go out whenever you want, and always be surrounded by hundreds of people who wanted to go out the same time and party the same way you did. Now, clubs are open 10-4 (or 5 or 6), which means there IS NO MORE CHOICE. With all the money that you need to live/spend time in the city, what is the sense anymore? New York might as well be Boston, Chicago, Phoenix, Philadephia. What's to stop the "neighborhood watchdogs" from forcing the issue and making clubbing hours from 8- 1 am? You don't think it can happen? It is like that in a lot of places in this country. Sorry for venting. It just pisses me off so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 The scene is far from dead. You just have to know where to look. Most of the great parties aren't advertised with a lot of hoopla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugler73 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 I thought that was just a rumor and i assumed after the bullshit smoking law, club and bar owners would be on top of this and not allow something like this to pass a vote. The paper said bloomberg was "proposing" this idea of 1 am or get a special license. Has it passed and if so, why wouldnt the big clubs just pay the extra $$$ for the license or is it, they will find a reason not to let them get it?Is it official. This is terrible if it is. Just when places like Avalon and Crobar were bringing in such amazing acts too:(BULLSHIT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damestikprod Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Not all there, great post. (Yeah right) Great way to keep the scene, shouting out on a message board, the scene will be alive as long as there are drugs. Moron, that is one of the many reasons afterhours and that shit cannot go on, b/c kids are walking around the streets at 12 in the afternoon all cracked of there skull. It is up too all of us, the true househeads to keep this scene alive. What we cannot do is parade around say "oh the drugs will keep the scene alive, and stupid shit like that. Think with your head people. The scene is going to stay alive because of the househeads that love and appreciate the music, and love going to a great party, and supporting the scene. I know a lot of people that don't get all drugged up to go out to a party, and have a great time, so too say the drugs will keep the scene alive is a wrong fn statement. Sorry everyone that just pissed me the f!@# off. So with all said, support the scene to the fullest, and be smart with the shit that you all do, otherwise staying out till 4am and afterhours will be something we tell our grandkids about.Later MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right. There has to be a way that the club owners, promoters, and clubbers can politically manipulate the scene. Or is everybody too cracked out to even try?
