Is it possible to have a good night out these days without hassle?
Tempted by Fabric this Friday but reading some horror stories about the meat head brigade handing out random punches.
Any tips for this Friday (18th) and Sat would be appreciated!

fabric
is usually cool
peeps on ra dont think so..
http://www.residentadvisor.net/forum-read.aspx?id=45649
hm
well i have usually only gone to the fabriclive nights on a friday and never seen any major trouble
I can't beleive there are guys going to Fabric
to try and pick up girls.
Thanks for pointing this out
went out in manchester recently
amazing bars but half the price and minus the twats of london. i so need to leave this city.
MTFU!
Fabric is usually fine, as people on pills are usually the least agressive people...
People who complain about twats in clubs
tend to have a certain twattishness themselves.
Is that statement worth a safety wink?
Fabric
is always full of bellends. Every time I've been it's been rammed with wonky haired sods or big groups of perverts.
that could be
pretty much any club!
not...
The Straight Hair club.
the key is to stand in the right place
the beauty of fabric is being able to stand just about anywhere on the dancefloor (especially in room one) and still have amazing sound.. the predatory twats usually stay quite central i think..
there has been alot of coverage on this subject recently though especially on RA so hopefully it will be addressd.
fabric is still one of the best clubs in the world
Go to...
Plastic People. That's a great space.
Ever so slightly smaller than Fabric though
^
saw theo parrish at plastic people the other week. was really great and largely minus twats.
whenever i've been to fabric it seems refreshingly minus twats also. it's so big you can just move about to avoid twattishness if it occurs.
I have only been to Fabric once
but I didn't see any kinda trouble.
KeToLoCo might have something goin on some where in London around that time if they aint in Ibiza or Leeds.
Plastic People sounds good FWD>>> looks like an amazing night.
THE KEY
IS NOT TO GO CLUBBING, BECAUSE CLUBBING IS FOR TWATS. THE KEY IS NOT TO GO OUT IN CENTRAL LONDON, BECAUSE CENTRAL LONDON IS FULL OF TWATS.
^ <3
...
yeh, those massive twats who go out to listen to music.
Bloody music enthusiasts. Wankers
????
WHO GOES CLUBBING TO LISTEN TO MUSIC? PEOPLE GO TO GET OFF THEIR TITS AND ACT LIKE MORONS.
GO THE PUB AND HAVE A NICE PINT OF BEER, THEN GO HOME AND LISTEN TO RECORDS.
maybe you do....
You're...
clearly going to the wrong clubs.
Either that or you don't like dancing.
I could go off on some spiritual guff, but clubbing and dancing really is a fantastic release, with or without drugs or alcohol. Garry Mulholland writes a fantastic piece that sums up my attitude to it in his This Is Uncool review of Underworld's Born Slippy, that kind of gets to the bottom of why going out and dancing all night is sometimes just necessary
WHATEVER
RAVER
Plenty of people
outside the (largely) indie ghetto that is DiS.
man up
if someone randomly punches you, punch them back you pussy.
i hate people that are afraid of theoretical beatings.
my mate used to walk in the opposite direction to the nearest bus stop to get one a further 15 minutes away because he heard a gang of 14 year olds chased and hit people near the closer bus stop.
a 'mate' yeah?
OH YOU GOT ME
YOU GOT ME GOOD
/wrists
fabric
is never good. even if the best people are playing, its still not worth it.
