Fly Sucks!

So Washington DC, one year ago, there was this awesome little club called Red. It was the underground kind of place that real dancers would go to. They played really good house music. A lot of the bboys from the city went, and it was merry. For some reason they closed it, its business, it happens I suppose. So last week a new club opened where Red used to be. This club was started by a DJ, designed by a DJ, with a cool airplane theme. Hoping, since a DJ designed it, it would be a nice little dance spot ,and since a friend of mine was promoting there I went to check it out. DC already has enough exclusive wannabe clubs, where all the rich guys try to throw their money at any girl walking by, wearing their lame ass striped button up bannana rebuplic shirts with their colars popped.

The music was ok, but without a dancefloor whats the use? Red used to have a decent size dancefloor with a backroom where mostly breakers went. That has been transformed into completely useless space. They took 8 feet off each side of the dancefloor making VIP booths on each side. The cost of a booth? $500 MINIMUM bottle service. So if you're trying to get laid and you've got a few G's to spend, and your looking "fresh" or whatever in your new gap wardrobe, this is the place for you. If you're a dancer, or someone looking for a good time and not fake or rich, steer clear of this place.

I read some reviews about the DJ who started this club, and some interviews were trying to call him the best DJ in the DC area. Bullshit! When I came in I saw a laptop set up, come on, anyone can play Mp3's, download/buy the right mixing software buy one of those stupid scratching machines, and you're still not a DJ...Disc Jockey? Thats an insult to the real DJs throwing down, like my man Jon Jon, who in my personal opinion is one of the best real DJ's in DC.

I don't think fly will last long. As soon as its novelty wears off, no one will go there. I saw something kind of funny. If you've been there before you'll know what I'm talking about. The VIP booths have some table that looks pretty futuristic. The problem? The tabletop isn't solidly attached to anything. So as soon as some drunken fool puts his weight on it...crash! I witnessed last night that very thing.

I guess my wednesday nights will still be ruled by Saki. Also check out Thursday nights at Modern....the best club in dc.

Peace
