I've been toting the place as so much better than any other gay nightlife establishment in the city, but tonight we left early because it was so terrible. Simply put, the DJ was blasting incomprehensible dub step and 80s rock the entire time, which is fine for bars/clubs catering to that audience in particular, but absolutely not okay for the only gay club within walking distance of most people downtown. LGBT and allies want to hear the Spice Girls, Britney, Beyonce, Gaga, Rihanna, and other favorites, not god knows who. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate dub step and like some iterations of the genre, but even these were terrible tonight.
Ugh just so frustrating. This particular DJ sucks and so, naturally, I PR blasted the club via Twitter with super negative comments, asking them to respect the safe space they've created for local LGBT and not turn it into yet another bro-tastic heterosexual venue. We'll see what happens I suppose.
DJ like that piss me off, regardless of it supposedly being a gay nightclub or not. I was in Madison a few months back for my sister's bachelorette party, and we ended up going to...Segredo (?), I think it's called, and that's ALL the dj was playing was dubstep, and not the good kind either ._. The only reason we stayed is because they kept giving us free drinks. 3/10 would not go again. Chicago night life all the way, baby!
OT: Working 36 hours this week at my temp job and trying to balance school. Let's see how well (or poorly) my time management skills are! But I have coffee, and get paid Thursday, so it's all good. Also, started inquiring about buying tickets for my spring break vacation 8)
