Goth Clubbing?

[breakinglight11]

I haven't managed to make a post on a weekend for a long time now. Ah, well. I guess I should be glad I have enough of a life to take me away from the computer every once in a while.

Perhaps as part of my sudden yet still-unabated desire to goth it up, I find I would like to go out to a goth club. The first, last, and only other time I did was when a group of Brandeisians went to XMortis almost year and a half ago. It was a blast, and not only because of how hot Jared looked in leather pants and his vinyl trench coat. ;-) I think it would be really fun to get a group together and go again. Besides my current wish to express my inner darkness (heh), I haven't gone to a good dance since the queer Halloween dance Jared and I went to for the commemoration of our first date. ;-)

I did a little research, and found a couple of possibilities. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many places that you can go to any old night, but there seem to be a couple of places with regular goth events.

As for 18+ events, XMortis itself next goes up on Sunday, August 8th, at 10 Brookline St., Cambridge, MA. Doors at 9 p.m., $5 before 10:30, $10 after. Dress code is either goth and related or straight black. Dead Pool seems to be a goth-themed pool night seemingly affiliated with XMortis at Kendall Square in Cambridge. Doors are at 8 p.m., $3 cover, no dress code. The next one looks to be Sunday, July 27th. As for 21+, Ceremony sounds good, and I think I have a vague memory of somebody liking/going ot that place. Goth Nights are Mondays at An Tua Nua, 835 Beacon Street, Boston, MA. Open 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., free BEFORE 9:30, $5 after 9:30. Dress code is goth or flat black. That goes up next on Monday, July 21st.

If anyone more familiar with the scene than I am has any suggestions or opinions (such as go there, it's fun, or don't go there, it's no fun) I'd love to hear them. I wouldn't mind planning something for quite a bit in the future, if we can nail down something good. Though I'd look to go sooner rather than later, as in sometime this summer. 18+ would be preferable-- I'm legal, but some people who I'd want to come aren't. Particularly Jared, if we plan for anything after he gets back in the area. Though if somebody has a good 21+ plan, I'd still be willing to go.

So do any of these things sound fun to people? Would anybody go with me? Anybody want to dress up goth and go dancing with me?

Ooh! Tell me if you go to one! Last time I went to a goth club was a couple of years ago in Albany with a bandmate of mine. It used to be open every month, but it has since stopped running. I've been so deprived. I'd love to go to one again. ^_^

... Also, I'm going to be 22 on the 7th. Yay palindromes!

If you get together a group for August 8th or July 28th, I'd be interested. XMortis is a good environment, there is good dance and non-dance space (including pool and some chatting space where the music is audible (alright, loud) but not overpowering, but, of course, it only happens once a month. I like Ceremony somewhat less, but it is still fun. It just has very little non-dance space, and with only one dance room, if the music isn't catching you there is nothing else available.

I wanna go. I don't know anything about anything, though.

I'd totally go. One of my friends goes to a thing on Saturdays too...I'll ask him what it's called/where it is, etc.
