Granville Clubs, Caprice

[DJ Ponz]

In the process of chasing tail, I was reeled into going to Caprice this last weekend. I was ashamed to be a part of the human race when I saw the shit-show Granville is on a Saturday night. In the space of 15 minutes (that's all it took for me to leave that gong-show), I saw 2 fights, a car peel out - obviously to show us all how cool he was, 2 people puking in the street or alley, more sluts than I care to imagine, and more chauches than I thought existed. I saw Le Chateau clad club-heads flicking cigarettes at homeless people. I saw valley-girls arguing about what color of lip shade worked best with their loin-cloths. I saw burbanites, who must have crossed 3 bridges to get into Vancouver, break beer bottles on the concrete. And I saw cops chasing people around like school-yard monitors.
As a witness to all this, I figured that any piece of ass that wanted to party in this scene wasn't worth it, and I'd be damned if I was going to wait in line with the dregs of society.
Thank god I got into parties as opposed to clubs. Yay for the quazi-underground - I'd rather see a 14 year old girl done up on E than roid-monkeys dressed in their sunday best walk the streets of downtown like they own it.

The funny thing is, the management of clubs like the plaza club and caprice does a pretty good job of keeping the real scum far away from their clubs (haven't you noticed? nobody has been shot up at either club.)

Try going to a club where they're not as strict with who they let in.

But yuh, the granville strip on a friday/saturday night is like fucking circus. It's redick.

That's what happens downtown on weekends, it's full of trashy bridge and tunnel folk. Weeknights are a much better crowd of people, mainly because they're from vancouver as opposed to the suburbs where they don't really care what the fuck happens because it's not in their backyard.

[G-Style]

I have mixed opnions about Granville St. I agree that the way the entire strip is run right now it creates the above situations. If Granville was run more like a similar style strip in Montreal you'd see a difference. Generally what you ahve described is what you touched on....it's a highschool full of immaturity and mis conceptions about not only what is cool but how to fit in. 9 times out of 10 that fights been started over such issues of "whatchu lookin at" or "did you just bump into me". Yes I remember those days IN GRADE 10. Granville is a trap for anyone wanting to "look" cool and or feel like they are doing the "cool" thing on a Fri/Sat night. We need a 4 story building with different styles on each floor and fully controlled enviroment where bar service is monitored and people do a better job of monitoring themselves and the people around them.

Seems to me that most individuals go to the Graville clubs not to go there, but to be there. They'd rather have it on their list of accomplishments rather than to actually have a fun time.

If they wanted that, they'd go to Lotus. ;)

[Hot Karl]

lotus sound lounge.

i've found graville st. to be a fuckin front fest. on top of the fights and other piles of b.s.

i'm herrrr to party. not to watch someone get a fractured skull ah thank you.
