CP NEWS: Wasted Words

[ddm-news]

Been to the CP Forums lately? No? You're missing what amounts to the greasy, 4 am diner, the one you hit after a night of sloppy dancing. The greasy diner where you tell your friends EVERYTHING, like how you spilled Peroni on your cell phone and "accidentally" made out with that troll. To catch you up, we've rounded up some recent highlights, and from time to time we chime in. Some are informative, some funny, some stupid. Some might--might--qualify as English.

Thread: Starving at Clubs

bella53081: maybe this is retarded but why can't we buy snacks at clubs? after dancing for hours and drinking etc. people get hungry, im tired of being starving after being in a club for 8 hours and my only option is a blow pop. im not asking for a lot, just a bag of chips or a power bar or something? i think europe has it right offering food w ur bottle service. hahaha then again starvation is a good way to empty out the club too lol.

chanman7483: I always have a big dinner before a long nite out

hehateme: careful! that could lead to a disco dump, i hate those!

You know, disco dumps aside, bella53081 actually makes an outstanding point. Why don't we have more food at clubs? As longtime poster silverbull points out later in the thread, sure, some of the old school clubs like Sound Factory would serve food. And yeah, maybe high-end restaurant/lounges like Spice Market and Butter serve dinner, but that's not the same thing as place like, say, Stereo offering bite-size snacks around 2 am. Everyone wins. The clubbers get food. The clubs get more money. Let's make this happen.

Thread: 1st Time Clubber Help

apocalypse7: Hey, Well, the fact is I'm a n00b to the clubbing scene guys, and I would like to know how to make a good 1st impression and get in looking good. Any tips on what I should get to get a clubbing wardrobe started? I'm not the metro kinda guy, but I don't mind it if its not too metro. Thanks, Carlos.

Ahhhwww. Well that just tugs the heartstrings. First off, Carlos, you get big Ups for the post. Not everyone can admit it when they need help. (Like me and gambling.) Here are some things that we recommend not wearing. This is gonna sound a little low-brow, but a surprisingly great place to get "clubbing" clothes is H&M. Sure, the threads will fall apart in 12 months, but by then they'll be out of style, anyway. Go there with the two best-looking girls you know. Tell them you need fashion advice, and most likely they'll jump at the chance to help. Surrender to their advice. Use their judgment, not yours. Remember, it's not important how you feel in the clothes, it's how you look in the clothes. When it comes to fashion, always trust others, never trust your gut.

Thread: Vegas - Great Door Quotes

lalate - Recent quotes you've heard on the door : Last night - my date said "Hey doorman, wouldn't you prefer to have one really hot girl in that club instead of ten nasty girls"

DJ MasterWeb: "These nike's cost over $100!" and "We have 15 guys in this bachelor party. Don't we get a group discount?"

Lalate: My buddy (serious): "lalate, how does bottle service work? Once you get in, how they gonna know you got a bottle? Cant you just run for it?!"

Greenie: Overheard at the Tao door, the Thursday following LDW, a group of guys asking a host about their bottle minimum: "Does water count?"(this question was asked in a serious tone)

Thread: Best t-shirt slogans?

nycpride05: what are some of the best t-shirt slogans you've seen in and out of clubs or if you can think of any original ones...

I have the thing. An alum of the Clubplanet staff, a designer named Matt Rowean, actually has some pretty sweet tees. It's called "Stryker NYC." You can get 'em here.

Thread: Kevin Federline

ispeaktruth: You know what's weird? I'm not a Brittney Spears fan, but this new stuff from her husband Kevin Federline is actually sorta good...I expected him to be wack as hell (being brittney's husband and all), but homie's actually decent on the mic, he seems to be taking this seriously enough...myspace.com/kevinfederline for some of his tracks, I like "America's Most Hated" the most out of em though, homie actually seems to have a purpose with this

Huh.

Thread: tattoo - do your parents know?

clubbingirl: do your family memebers know you have a tattoo?

Emjay: i have "thuglife" tattooed across my belly...my mom loves it.

Thread: Puffy Eyes

silver05: Any of you girls know anything that works to reduce swelling in tired morning eyes? I hear potatos and some say aloe..

shaina143: You can also cut up thin slices of cucumbers and put them in the freezer for a little bit... Then take them out and place on the eyes for 10 minutes...

jdiprenda: To reduce puffiness, try ReVive Eye Renewal cream. Its $110, but its the best stuff on the market. Come visit me at Saks and I'll take care of you.

Tommyl: Just put cold tea bags over your eyes, it reduces swelling right away...

Thread: Tucked in or untucked shirts?

jtjones87: Im going to my first club ever tonight. my friends said it was a really casual club since its basically all college kids. Im just doing blue jeans and polo shirt Is tucking in the polo a really dorky thing to do (and hurts the dancing?) Im askng because I'd tuck in my dark blue polo shirt but its too long if i untuck this particular one, but i have another polo (no label) that looks good untucked

jtjones -- Never, ever tuck. Even the wonderbread guys on Dockers commercials don't tuck in their shirts. And, um, yeah, it "hurts the dancing."

Thread: Los Angeles Club Reviews Thread

sancib: Club Deep.... went this past sunday, had a good time, Especially since I am a trance girl at heart It was at the Vangard, decent venue, nice visual entertainment, cute outdoor patio, and nice crowd. I think Marq Wyatt ? ( Sorry my house music comrades ) was playing. I enjoyed his set. Overall on a scale from 0-10 it rates an 8 for a Sunday night.

Thread: Review of Boris at Crobar

Danihawk: I got there around 12:45 and didn't get in until after 3 b/c the line was crazy...they were only letting in people with advance tix or people that were on the owner's list. I must say it was worth it though. First of all the line was super annoying but kind of funny...some guy got kicked off for peeing right by the entrance, and some guidette in front of me was commenting on how they changed the name of Crobar to "Believe"...it's people like that that make going out on holiday weekends annoying but what can you do.

As for an actual review the music from the time I got into the main room (around 4) to around 7 was a little monotonous. Some of the beats were really good but for me that hard tribal all starts to sound the same after awhile. Lately I think Boris has been mixing it up a lot more, but dark tribal beats are cool for Halloween. After 7 he really picked it up...I had to leave around 8:30 but he was tearing it up at that point.

The crowd: Pretty much what you would expect on a holiday...a bunch of randoms who don't even know who's spinning. A ton of skeevy guys obviously there to ogle the girls in slutty costumes. Thank god it did start to clear out pretty early and there was room to dance and see the people you usually see there. The vibe improved a lot after that, I wish i could have stayed later. A bouncer told me it was closing @ 9 but someone else told me 10:30..anyone make it til close? Arg where you at?
