[QUOTE="PepeLePew, post: 434842, member: 4895"] In 89 I was turning my back on electro and hip-hop and getting down to thrash metal :| Same year on my 18th birthday I dragged a smelly mate in to the Hac. I couldn't believe how you could hear it from McDs on Oxford Road, and the pavements felt like they were shaking as you walked nearer. Needless to say my life changed. Only went out a few times that year, discovered Konspiracy club. That has to be favourite club of all time, so insane inside. I should hate it. I thought it might be a good idea to drop a 100 mushies before going in one night in 1990. Deciding I had enough with my materialistic life:crazy: , ran away from my mates, decided I was too warm got outside through a fire escape, took all my clothes off bar my shorts, don't think I even had my wallet, definitely no trainers. Then ran back in through the main entrance ignoring whatever the bouncers were trying to say, stayed on the raised dancefloor for the rest of the night. As I came back to reality I realised my mates had left me (I don't blame them). Luckily I bumped in to some old school mates who I hadn't seen for a year or so. And managed to get a lift home :$ 90 more indie/dance clubs as another group of mates got in to the Madchester scene. Venus, 5th Avenue, The Boardwalk, Monroes (Stockport) Weekender in Pwllheli 91 dropped my first E at Sequins in Blackpool and never listened to Indie again :thumbsup: I went to Sequins more than anywhere. I prefered the harder edge it had over most places - before hardcore came along and ruined it for me. Club was ok, decor was naff. I have some photos (somewhere) Oz in Blackpool was 2nd choice if we couldn't get in Shelleys in Stoke, usually too much piano for me. Sasha was a highlight. Getting 5 stitches off a thug with sovereigns was the lowest Some place in Ashton - Zoo? Sasha again, bit of a dive 42nd Street saw Jenny whatsherface off No Limits in there :heart: Manhattans in Blackburn - nice club - loved the american car smashed in to the roof Hippodrome in Middleton. Gotta love that walkway over the dance floor Back to Basics in Leeds, lovely gaff Soundgardens Then there was Marple Liberal Club - really just a club for people who went to one school - but cracking nights and copius amounts of drugs And then I went on a bad trip and my clubbing came to an abrupt end :'( Took till about 96/97 till I started going out properly again. Mainly for Drum and Bass at Sankeys and the Hac. But went to Ministry of Sound for NYE party with Todd Terry. Damn that place was loud and clear. As Drum and Bass never really took off up here so I stopped going out again. Just on the odd occasion I'll go to a club. Pick of the bunch for me has been the Ampersand lately, but too posey for me really. I'm really tempted to come to one of these old school nights, I know I'll convice one or two to come with me. Just need to convince myself, it won't be like how other "old fogey" type get togethers are. I can't be the only one who looks down on 80s, Punk, Bay City Rollers reunions can I? But I am so glad I lived through this era, I'm willing to be thought of as a bit naff, for clinging to my past. In fact there is only the Hippy summer of love I would possibly trade for [/QUOTE]
