Recommended Posts

I been going since I was 18 they used to serve minors drinks. I been dancing and drinking there 16 yrs and know the owner quite well. I seen him this last saturday we shook hands as usual next time I see him I'm gonna tell him that my best friend (Double H) got hurt in the ladies room. I think I'm the longest going member on here. I didn't start painting my face till I was in my 20s though. I used to sell LSD there and take it back in the day. My hair used to cover half of my face the old flock of seagulls thing. Anyways tell me how long have you been going to LCC?

I have been going to cc for about 15 years now. Not much has changed there since the first time.

actually, i think a lot has changed.

the music used to be way more diverse (they DID play beastie boys, metallica, other stuff you would not think you would hear at cc), the parking lot was basically broken up rubble and not closed off, the entrance is where the swimming pool used to be, there was a cage (or 2?) for dancing, the walls used to be bare then they were painted then i think they were even painted again someone told me.

the only thing that is exactly the same - the bathroom. that disgusting bathroom. ;) hehe.

besides the music being diverse the people were too. and it was more accepted. now the "diverse" people are just considered "tourists" by the regulars. i don't know when the changes actually occured since there was a long period of time i didn't even go - but when i went back i felt really uncomfortable the first couple of times. where i used to feel like "home" i felt like an outcast because i was certainly not goth enough for city club. :wink

I also remember the small room that used to be near the door that you walked in where you would pay the door guy.

Alot has changed,and not for the better either.IMO

Over a span of 15 years, not much has changed. They have done nothing to the place except rearrange some furniture and throw some paint on the wall. Your right about the music though. That has changed and it now pretty much sucks. The people have changed too, but that comes with age and growth. I personally do not think there has been much change to the place.

Hmm... I've been going there just a couple years or so longer than you. And from day one, I don't remember there every being much attendance by people who appeared outside the "goth/punk norm".

Matter of fact, I can recall there being an ever-changing series of stickers and signs on the front door denouncing the evils of flannels, jocks, and the like. :D Even then, khaki was to a CC regular what a crucifix is to a vampire. :hrhr:

The first person who took me there actually coached me on what to wear, so that I'd "fit in" with the crowd so as not to be intimidated my first time out (I was a lot more reserved & shy back then, and appreciated his input).

    • So I just got back from Happy Endings and I saw @DJ Saintthere.  He told me that after I got kicked out of High Dive that later on Mike also attacked him, and Mike and his crew were also kicked out.  Then we talked about the scene and possible upcoming gigs.  I hope something comes his way soon, as well as mine too.  With the current economy I think more club owners will be hungry to try more things like goth/industrial/other alternative nights.  I've also heard that GenZ isn't online dating and is actually going out into the world to meet people which may also help business owners, though they aren't drinking which doesn't really help much.  I think more places are going to need to start serving food and mocktails to make up the difference. Then Mike showed up at Happy Endings which I thought was highly likely because I hadn't seen him there in a while, and @DJ Aaron Hingst,@elektrosonik, and his husband Tim were all there too.  He did something else I wasn't expecting...  Which was he actually shook my hand and said it was good to see me, which caught me a little off guard.  He didn't apologize for anything but it's a start I think.  I told him I was sorry to hear about @djpleasurekitten's passing (which I was/am.  Despite the rift that ended up existing between us we were friends at one point.) So maybe he's moving on finally?  If so then I'm glad.  I'm still not sure if I'll ever go back, but it is at least a start, and it's nice to actually see he's trying to bury the hatchet in something other than my skull.
    • Stargate Universe, which everyone said sucked but I'm actually enjoying it? Like there are less jokes, but lots of dark humor, and people might actually die rather than have 10ft thick plot armor?  Yes please more of this!
    • Failbook is blocked so I can't see any of the info. "Oh you don't need to login to view!" No, you don't understand...  This is my /etc/hosts file:   # Block Meta IPv6 fe80::1%lo0 facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 login.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 www.login.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 www.fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 fbcdn.com fe80::1%lo0 www.fbcdn.com fe80::1%lo0 static.ak.fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 static.ak.connect.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 connect.facebook.net fe80::1%lo0 www.connect.facebook.net fe80::1%lo0 apps.facebook.com12 # Block Meta IPv4 0.0.0.0 facebook.com ~~~~~ A METRIC FUCKTON OF OTHER FB DOMAINS ~~~~~ 0.0.0.0 zh-tw.facebook.com I had to edit it and cut off many lines because it's 2171 lines long and the overwhelming majority is just Facebook domains. Those IPs for v4 and v6 mean they lead to the HTTP equivalent of /dev/null X/Twitter is blocked too.  I need to block Alphabet/Google and Microsoft as well, but they're actually useful for certain things (damn you YouTube and GitHub!)
