Ohh but they do... one of the drawbacks of going to DT's Friday night party, and there are quite few these days unfortunately, is that there are always a few undercover cops cruising around trying to spot dealers. Not to mention the paranoid bouncers who routinely throw innocent people out because they were thought to be doing some sort of drug. Any club with no booze is automatically suspected of heavy drug 'infiltration'....and those suspicions are generally spot on, for better or worse. Honestly I'd rather be in a club where people (not candi-ravers;) are on e than a club rammed with drunks. I went to the Tronic party at Baktun tonight and danced to Richie Hawtin, Magda, and Miss Honey Dijon until 4AM...only problem was the number of idiots from parts unknown who got pissed, sweaty, jumped around at what they perceived to be an appropriate moment, SLAMMED into unsuspecting punters constantly AND stepped on people's feet whilst they were dancing. I just got finished cleaning my Nikes and am decidedly in an anti-booze mood just now;-) I am a drinker, but being totally inconsiderate of one's fellow revelers is never cool imho. Laters, m* btw...first hour of Hawtin's set kinda bored me but the second got a little housier and more interesting. Magda rocked it as usual! Honey really surprised me and played really hard, impressive. Was surprised to notice Richie using the same laptop (Sony VAIO) I use and love! ----- Original Message ----- From: "robin pinning" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mark S Flintoft" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 5:06 AM Subject: Re: [313] Portal > > > > robin... > > > > > and yes i am aware the paradise garage and studio 54 (and the warehouse?) > > > were alcohol free.... > > > > Pete kinda beat me to it, but here is what I think he meant to say;-) : > > > > Here in NYC the original Sound Factory and Shelter were also alcohol free. > > Vinyl (home to Body and Soul, DT's Be Yourself @ Vinyl, as well as being > > the old Shelter) is still alcohol free - though not by choice our former > > dictator Bennito Giulinani helped them to make that choice;-) > > > > Any other famous booze-less clubs around the world? > > > > Intrigued, > > > > m* > > > > > > robin... > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Dr. Robin Pinning | E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Manchester Computing, University of Manchester, | T: +44 161 275 7028 > Manchester, M13 9PL, United Kingdom. | F: +44 161 275 6040 > --------------------------www.mrccs.man.ac.uk------------------------- > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
