Do you wear phat pants and running shoes to interviews too?
*LOL* - I run my own IT company so interviews aren't really an issue. And most days I wear khaki's and a golf shirt - you know, typical IT uniform... But when I have to "dress up" it's a suit, shirt and tie... And there's no fucking way I'm wearing that to a club! (Much as I'd love to get the shit kicked out of me before I get anywhere near the door...)

I just like to be comfortable when I dance and loose fitting clothing is always preferable to avoid overheating. Plus running shoes = less painful feet by 4am so that's always a winner...

...most serious clubs in Europe are aware of these issues and the dress code is MUCH less formal. It tends only to be bars and shit cheesy chart music clubs that want the whole shirt and shoes combo. I guess clubbing gear would be ok? I'm not really into the whole candy raver thing so I don't own any of that either...

...I wonder if Armin would appreciate a bow tie?? ;)

Just waiting for the "well then fuck off back to Europe" comment... I love Vancouver. The USA I'm not so fond of (sorry!). You know you've got it fucking good here when the only complaint is "I have to wear a shirt to go clubbing". I'm not bitching... just making (shite) conversation...

Thanks again for all the replies - it's much appreciated. At least now I hopefully won't get turned away at the door for looking like a hippy... ;)

What were you hoping to find here other then bars and "shit cheesy chart music clubs"

If you're hoping that here is anything like the European club scene - you;re about to be majorly let down.
The rave scene is literally dead and anything other then that requires you to wear a collard shirt and dress shoes.

Take your pick dear.

Side Note: I personally wouldnt go anywhere that doesnt have a "dress to impress" dress code.

I dont really want to spend money to be around people that look like they just came from Walmart.

I'm sorry - I didn't mean to offend, it's just not my "cup of tea" so I'll steer well clear of those.

I was hopeful with some of the world's top DJs adding dates in Vancouver to their tour diaries that the trance scene was alive and well here. It'll be interesting to see how they integrate the two very different scenes in one club...?

Have we met!? Probably on my way out of Walmart... ;)

I'm not too fussed about what people wear just so long as they're there for the atmosphere and the music, and not just to get drunk and start fights for "looking at them". If they're friendly happy people, I wanna meet them :)

I didn't own anything along those lines until I was 21.

Any person I've ever met from the UK, usually know's their shit about parties, dj's, the business and god - I love living vicariously through them.

Plus you get a hook up if you ever go travelling for a place to stay and most likely the best partying you'll ever check out.

I do it all the time. It goes over quite well regardless of where and what scene.

Basically, far too many people are concerned with the way people are dressed and not concerned enough with the quality of music and company at their $6/beer venues. In my experience, it's the people that are less concerned about dress code and more concerned with having a good time that are the most fun to go clubbing with. I don't need to hear a guy worrying about ruining his $80 shirt when we're out on the town... dancing is not meant to be a photo opportunity.

Actually, I finally found toothpaste that can keep up with my excessive drinking and smoking. S'all good now.

That cinnamon flavoured Crest works well for me. The only catch is that you have to brush your teeth before going out so that it's nice and fresh. The other trick is getting one of those toothbrushes with the tongue scrubber and gargling properly.

Don't underestimate yourself... That Walmart comment really hurt! But only because it's (sadly) true... Actually... I'm more of a Marks Work Wearhouse kynda guy, but I have a feeling that's even worse... :push:

Hope to meet you out in Vancouver sometime :)

*LOL* - in all seriousness I'm heading back for Last Chance To Dance and ADE real soon and then Trance Energy in Feb next year. Plus there's the electronic music festies in the summer... Global Gathering, Creamfields and The Glade are the best! I met LOADS of Canadians while I was there this summer and even a couple who frequent Club 23 West! Small world!! (Forgot to exchange numbers/emails though - duh!)

There's (almost) nothing better than clubbing with good friends - and dance music is the ultimate social leveller. It's opened up my world in so many ways already, I just can't wait to find out where it'll take me next... So many different people from all walks of life, from all over the world, there for one reason...

...Fucking awesome

My 2cents: Gorgomish sucks. You won't get in unless you have girls with you, and last I went cover was over $20 for guys. The soundsystem is good but the music is boring, a redbull will set you back $7, there's no booze, and it's full of sketchy characters and cokeheads (and not the laid back fun kind, more the stare-you-down kind), not many people even dance really, just smoke in the stairs and hang around. Blech. If you're really ramped up to party and have nowehere else to go it can be bearable but honestly 9 times out of 10 if Gorg is the only option I'm going home to bed.

agreed on gorg there. i've had good times there but for regular nights the crowd just isn't what i'm looking for.

going to bed is always a good idea.

Fair enough. Thanks for the warning on Gorg... that sounds like what I'm really looking to avoid.
