On Saturday night, the long awaited for event came into being. I'm talking about the Darkness Resurrected Premier Night, which took place at the Stolen Glass Club near the Fayetteville Square. The special occasion, which was organized by DJ Durandal, featured the musical talents of End: The DJ, D.J. Parasight and DJ Axis as well as his own.The Stolen Glass, which hosted the affair, turned out to be a very nice club in which to hold a dance night. It had a decent stage and an adequately sized dance floor. There was plenty of room to socialize and move around in as well as a free pool table. I played a couple of games on it myself. As a non smoker, I was a bit concerned that I might be overwhelmed by cigarette smoke, but since the venue seemed well ventilated and contains a very high ceiling, I really wasn't bothered at all.
Truth be told, I think the night was a total blast. The music went non stop from about 9:00 pm until around 2:30 am; and although the DJs played a lot of electronic, there was enough Goth and dark wave offered to keep me interested--and dancing! As a matter of fact, by night's end I was the proud owner of a couple of seriously sore feet; but it was all worth it.
Although the venue wasn't really crowded, a lively group of people showed up and all seemed to have a good time. Speaking for myself, I was really glad to see something like this finally happen. I was very pleased to make new acquaintances and to visit with some older ones as well.
Word has it that there may be another Darkness Resurrected event in a couple of months . I'm looking forward to it and I'd like to thank DJ Durandal, the guest DJs, the folks at the Stolen Glass and everyone who showed up for contributing to such an awesome night.

Sounds like a great night, Nightwind! They still let people smoke in clubs down there? Not the case up here - no smoking in public places anymore. Not that I mind, being a non-smoker myself.
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't remember the last time I danced. I think I may have forgotten how. :D
The question of whether people can smoke in clubs varies from state to state, city to city and venue to venue. We have a smoking ordinance in my town but it revolves around the percentage of food to alcohol sales. There are a few establishments that serve little to no food and these are allowed to decide for themselves whether or not to allow smoking.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time. It looks like fun. I can't remember the last time I danced. I have made myself go to the bar once a month with some girls. I really can be a homebody. I hope you and your friends keep it up.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good night, how did you feel next morning? Sadly my ankle, knees and balance problems no longer allow me to dance. Smoking has been banned in pubs and clubs since 2007 in the UK.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. It sounds fabulous!! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much, I would have hated for you to be disappointed!
ReplyDeleteAs a non-smoker myself, the no-smoking rule was one of the good things about the one club I've been to here. San Francisco no longer allows smoking in any public place, and you have to be around 20 feet from the entrance to light up. Of course, there were a few who smoked out by the back door, but it didn't get into the club.
What's your goth dancing style and fave dance floor song?
ReplyDeleteActually, App'y, I felt pretty good the next morning. It was mid day when I suddenly felt quite exhausted.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your questions, Underground For Tea, I'd have to say that Lucretia My Reflection is probably my favorite dancing song--and they played it the other night! As for style, I honestly can't say. I do tend to dance a bit more expressively when I goth dance than at other times, but I don't know what you'd call it.
Heh, needless to say, 'Lucretia My Reflection' is MY favorite as well!! You've got good taste... ;-)
ReplyDeleteLet's face it, the song almost compels you to dance--and how could a person with the same name not love the song?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lot of fun! ^^ In The Netherlands it's forbidden to smoke in public places, which is something I appreciate very much!
