Glow At Soundcheck
|
2/2/2019 - My friends had an extra ticket so I found myself with Bobbie and Subria only a few rows away from Paul Oakenfold after going out to the Carlyle Club the same evening! Pretty cool to say I've been there but Soundcheck was pretty terrible!

Saturday February 2, 2019:
On the tail end of the 80s Dance Party at the Carlyle Club I tagged along with Bobbie and her friend Subria to Soundcheck to see Paul Oakenfold. He was pretty good as a DJ, I just couldn't stand the venue! Soundcheck was like Ultrabar only with high drink prices and even the ticket price was a bit high I thought. It was $25 for the ticket but Bobbie had an extra so I got in for free! I did buy her a drink though. Two drinks were $30! All I got was a vodka tonic and rum & coke. So ridiculous. I did like Oakenfold as a DJ and I had heard great things about him so I was curious to check him out. But so many teenagers there as it was an 18+ event and the place was packed! It was easy to get up front. But no real exits made me feel a bit claustrophobic and along with the high prices and packed room, just not so much my scene anymore I suppose. I wonder if the venues have gotten worse since my days of dance clubs in my 20s or if I've just gotten older. I suppose it's a combination of the two!
