Vanguard, Hollywierd

Last Night I went to Vanguard for the very first time in about 6 months. I was so against this place for a wide variety of reasons but since It was my friends birthday last night and there was NO cover, I decided to give it another shot. The place is the same shit hole it has always been but it seems like they have upped the prices of drinks. Beers now go for $7 EACH and mixed drinks go for about $13 EACH. These prices are on par with that of Vegas clubs (if not more). Good thing my friends and I worked on JD before we got in. The night was fun and I got pretty buzzed from the expensive drinks (expensive drinks contain more alcohol).

After last night I don't plan on going to Vanguard for a long while unless it's open bar for the entire night or some ridiculous shit like that. I still miss the night of FREE Budweiser all night at Vanguard when I first started going there. Now those were Good Times!

Mobile Clubbing: Ipod Flash Mobs!

Here's a story about this new trend. Interesting in deed... wonder if there are any in California.

Pod flashmobbers dance in their hundreds at station


Hundreds of people descended on Liverpool Street station for the biggest ever turnout for the latest internet craze - mobile clubbing.

Armed with MP3 players loaded with favourite tracks the "clubbers" arrived on the concourse just after 7pm last night. Students, business people and office workers danced in silence as they listened to their iPods among commuters listening to announcements about late trains.

Details of the time and venue were sent by email. The event is similar to the flash mobbing movement pioneered in New York which involved large numbers of people gathering to conduct bizarre activities.

One commuter said: "It was entertaining if strange to see all these people gyrating to their own beat. It was the Soul Train arriving at platform one."
