Title: 21 dead in Chicago nightclub
Post by: videoholic on February 17, 2003, 09:12:37 AM: I heard this on the radio today and was amazed. I guess two chicks were fighting and mace got sprayed. It caused a ruckus to get out of the building. People got trampled getting to the door and 21 people dided. So sad...

Have you ever been in a bar where you are like, damn, this is just way too crowded?

In college that was always the case.

I remember being in a bar called the “Blind Pig” in Ann Arbor Michigan. A band called Stabbing Westward was playing and they had the place packed out. Looking around I can remember wondering what it would be like if a fight broke out or if a fire had started. This must have been something terrible.

No that would be NASCAR and WWE.

I find it often is the case that the ppl with the most personality are in clubs.

Anywho, thats kinda crazy, I have been to E2 a few times. I have seen your typical club fights once or twice, but nothing like this.

Dark, crowded, smokey, techno.

Dark is ok if you are alone with a lady but the other 3 suck.

/me buys vid a pint of bass ale...

yeah, I sorta get claustrophobic in crowded places, like christmas shopping, etc. I was in a bar once where somebody sprayed mace ... no-one could breathe... I can imagine how in a crowded place somebody screams, "chemical attack!" then you can\'t breathe... then the peeps next to you can\'t breathe...
MAYHEM!

Post by: project86 on February 18, 2003, 03:37:33 AM: Night clubs are not the worste place to go and hang out. I used to do so with a bunch of friends and generaly had a blast. I never dated any chicks from a bar or night club. I had better taste than that.
