I had an awesome time. It was great to see everyone! I didnt think the opening band was to bad. Covenant just blew my mind thoe. I danced most of the night as usual. How come people dont open more up and dance at these shows?

I just don't like dancing. I've never felt comfortable with the whole process and whatnot. That's just me though.

I still cannot get that new song out of my head. Hope someone's got it on YouTube.

I had a real good time. I saw Saint a few times through the night, that man looked like he was having a ball!

Btw, anyone else think that opening band was lame?

No you're not the only one. I didn't think they were the greatest either.

Covenant was fucking amazing. So glad I went. And the new song really makes me want the new album now.

Its kind of an unbalanced argument. Reminds me of the Cleopatra vs. Projekt debates back in the 90s.

As for current topic, because of the unbalance, I cannot choose just one, simply because I like many from both labels. But if practicality is at stake, I would say Metropolis, if only because of them, we here in the US get alot of our musicaql fixes we otherwise wouldn't be able to.

Those are some excellent playlists.

Get a good sound system for the dance floor area, and then TURN THE FRACKIN' MUSIC DOWN IN THE BAR AREA!!! The main reason I haven't gone since February, and don't really plan to go in the near future, is the music in the area where people are supposed to be able to order drinks and talk was so loud it hurt my ears, and I had a sore throat the next day from screaming all night.

Indeed, never have been able to order from the bar without this problem.

Otherwise, Oh where do I begin?

Lighting is terrible there, always has been, but you often cannot see where you are walking, and trip over people and things. Not saying much brighter, but a solidly consistent low lit lighting system would go a long way.

The bathrooms are fucking disgusting. Shit always smeared over the walls and never any soap or toilet paper. Guess it would be too much to ask for some one to go in there in the middle of the night, even just once would make a huge difference, and attempt to clean up and restock stuff in there whilst doing so.

The uber drama and fighting. I have been to City Club a few number of times, and huge fights have broken out that the bouncers have not been able to get under control for at least 5 minutes, and I have seriously considered never returning to City Club ever again, then I change my mind and give it another chance and lo and behold another fight breaks out. Is it seriously to much to ask for bouncers to don their jobs and for people to leave their drama at home? Also the handful of scary and shady people that go to City have always been a problem for me. So I often stay home.

City also never has had a decent ventilation system, and that is always a problem. Temperature is always out of control and more often matches the temp outside instead of matching something you can stand to be in for more than 10-15 minutes at a time.

The music selection has never really bothered me, but I guess I can understand where people are coming from. Clubs, goth or not, always cater to their music selection to what's popular, and that can really get under their gears. But the music is really the least of the places problems.

Yeah I agree. Family was watching tv and I saw the report. For crying out loud: Very attractive girl!

Sad and totally devastating.

RIP Brother.

Saw Iron Man 2 opening weekend, kicked as much ass as the first one.

Going to see Robin Hood sometime today.

I had a blast yesterday! A lot of people were there and fun things to see!

lol. Adam West was charging $60! I had heard that there was a line at his table, but once people heard about the fee the line dissipated. lol. I did get a peek at him, he was wearing sunglasses. Marina Sirtis looked good, so did Linda Blair. But I did not want to pay that much money just to say hi to them.

I kinda felt bad for Todd Bridges because no one was at his table. Well, when I walked by there wasn't anyone there...maybe later on he had some fans stop by.

Yeah I ended up going yesterday as well. Adam West was charging $60, but at least he was friendly with and talking to the people who walked up to his table, Marina Sirtis' table was right next to his, usually celebs who charge that much are complete and total assholes.

Met a bunch of people, the wrestlers were all really nice, met more of them now than I ever got to when I was into it. And all the celebs were kind enough to retake pictures if they were messed up.

My blog has the full skinny on my experience: http://djnihil.blog.com

yeah me too.

According to their myspace page it's

Hyatt Regency Dearborn at Fairlane Town Center

Wish it wasn't so damn early on a Friday. No way can I make that drive and be there in time to see them. They couldn't have picked a worse time for those of us who aren't right there in town :(

Oh thanks for the info. I agree that's too damn early. Hopefully being at work won't be a factor.

Thinking that I'm off to watch more of my Daria DVD set.

NICE!

Thanks! The time change is going to work out a lot better, esp. with my new job and HFCC's terrible parking lot situation going on.....

And I'm bridging the weekend gap between Sat. at City Club and Mon. at Necto.

I wonder when Abney Park is playing. They are one of my sole reasons for going. I'll be glad when there's a schedule.

Just heard that Necto is giving away Covenant tickets all night on Monday.

Me thinks I may have to go to Necto for a change if that's the case. Funding is running low and I could use free tix.

I'll go. Kinda starting to be broke, but hope autographs won't be too expensive nor will pictures with celebs and comic people.

I didn't know Cronenberg did conventions. Must be a rare appearance.

Heather Langenkamp is gonna be there too. Coolness.

Sleeplessness. Slept only 6 hours last night and can't sleep more, but I am so very tired.

Michigan needs Waffle House, and Sheetz. Yes.

Riiiight down the street from me. I'd feel better, then.

\Too true. We could use Wawa as well.

I am glad however to have Denny's, the last remaining Bennigan's, a buttload of Coney Islands, and Del Taco.

Home for me is also Bubble Island and Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor and WHFR in Dearborn.

Bump reflecting new day and time in original post. Now Midnight to 2Am on Sundays.

I remember there was a big turnout when he'd played The Labyrinth w/ Cult of The Psychic Fetus in '02.

Yeah there was and I was at that show. it was pretty kick ass. Surprised he passed us up this time.

Fuckin' eh that an impressive guest list. Hopefully I can request time off from work to accomodate a day or two of that.

IGNORE THE MACHINE!

Sorry, couldn't resist. New stuff sounds alright though.

For the Star Trek: TNG nerds, Marina Sirtis confirmed for MCCC just a few short days ago.

I heard about the movie, while browsing on IMDb, wish more of the independent stuff would get a wider release. I guess we will have to wait for DVD for this.

However, MI does get a fair share of good stuff. Saw The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo a couple weeks ago at the Maple Art, and that was a TERRIFIC film. Was hoping we'd get after.life w/ Christina Ricci, Liam Neeson, and Justin Long, but no dice on that either.

Good luck OP. I've been doing a show for about a year now on HFCC's volunteer station playing Goth, 80s, Synthpop, New Wave, EBM, Electro, and Industrial.

Post some of the genres and I'll be happy to recommend some suggestions.
