Vibro-Club
For those of us who like to talk. And like the drink that we ordered | |
<Sounding like a grandad>
I've reached the point where I no longer have that much fun going clubbing. My hearing isn't 100% and, while not requiring a hearing-aid, it does mean that anywhere where overly-loud music is being played I can't hear a word anyone is saying to me unless they shout directly
into my ear, not exactly the nicest sensation. If I order a Becks, I invariably end up with a Metz (I know the solution is to order something else, but I like Becks).
</Sounding like a grandad>
The Vibro-Club would still play music, but at a volume that is easy to talk over. For those who 'just gotta dance', the dance-floor and walls vibrate to the beat of the music so you can still strut your stuff without looking like a total prat dancing out of time (well, no more than normal anyway)
Gig with headphones, no speakers

The Aphex Twin recently played a gig in London that was very similar to Rods_Tiger's idea. [vincebowdren, Oct 30 2001, last modified Oct 04 2004]

I think you're ready for tea dances... |

I'll say it again ... these things are NEVER about what I think they're going to be about. |

Rods_Tiger: that sounds like singles night at Borders. |
|

Hey, I'm not a newbie, I just don't post many ideas. I admit the title was designed to bait people, 1percent and blissmiss obviously being those that picked up on it. |
|
| |
Thought it was like 'Fight Club' for ladies. Guess
not. |
|
| |
Wouldn't that be called "Hair-pulling and Bitch-slap club"? |
|

<CoolerKing ducks preparing for onslaught of verbal and virtual physical abuse from 1/2B female population> |
|
| |
[CoolerKing]: I'm with you. Some nights I just don't *want* to partay but would like to go out and listen to music and maybe boogie a little later. |
|
| |
I think the best thing here is the under floor massive superwoofer, which if it doesn't exist, bloody well should. |
|
| |
Vibrating dance floors are baked at dances for the deaf (no I'm not kidding, and I can't find a link either; saw it on tv). |
|
| |
BM's Vibro club! Cool! (I'd add my favorite male-bashing statement here, if I had one) |
|
| |
CK - no verbal or virtual abuse from me, sorry. Blissmiss and I simply honor the age-old tradition of getting to know one another through pillow fights, goosedown attacks and counter-attacks, and general verbal-grenade warfare. You boys do exactly the same thing, from sports bars to the Senate. |
|
| |
If BM and I engage in violence, it is *virtual* violence. I wouldn't dare try the other kind; she'd kick my ass into the middle of next week. |
|
| |
1% - Don't apologise for not verbally abusing me, it's been a long time since I've been flamed so I'm literally out of practice in literally returning fire. |
|
| |
DrBob - Literally a great link. If I'm ever in Montreal, I'm literally there! |
|
| |
One way to equip a nightspot that works out better for 1% is to have many, many loudspeakers at lower volume. The overall effect is strong sound but still able to have a conversation. |
|
| |
Perhaps a sectioned off area for fist punchers and the like? |
|
| |
Two percent of anything is utterly ignorable. One percent, though -- that's a meaningful minority; special, implacable, freakish. |
|
| |
I mean, when's the last time you bought 2% milk? |
|
| |
As for the invitation-only rumble outside the Vibro Club ... am I correct in expecting something reminiscent of a Jerry Springer classic? I've been practicing my menacing street remarks, so I'm all set. |
|
| |
You got to check yourself before you wreck yourself, girl. You betta chill, aaaiiight? I'm not tryin' to hear that. |
|
| |
Welcome back. Today on The CoolerKing Show, it's "Another Halfbaker Is Insulting My Alias & I'm Gonna Slap That Beeyatch Sideways Until She Gives Me Back My Man (that always has to be in their somewhere)" |
|
| |
Ladies, don't make me have to have Steve get on to the stage and sit between you. |
|
| |
Not for the first time, Bliss maintains an ethereal presence in the conversation, present yet not present, speaking yet silent. I wish I had a log of all Bliss's deleted anno's - the fact that they aren't there leads me to think they're probably very interesting / inflammatory. |
