Schadenfreude @ Chief Ike's: Tuesdays - Goth "BAR" night.http://www.schadenfreude-dc.com/. 1725 Columbia Rd. :: Washington, DC 20009 *202-332-2211 *Staff DJs :: Shade + Liebchen + MissGuided A little hole-in-the-wall tiki bar/ mambo room that has a goth night every tuesday, playing everything from Bauhaus and the Sisters of Mercy, to the newest like The Awakening and Anders Manga. But don't be mistaken as I was - its a 'bar night' not a 'club night'. Not much room to dance, and the whole evening I was there, no one was dancing. The decor is cool - but kitchy tiki bar, rather than your dark and dank dungeon. Not too many goths either. The bartender said it was the weather. Not sure if I buy that. Music was good, staff friendly, drinks very strong. I'm not much of a bar attendee (as I am a clubster) so can't say I enjoyed the night that much. Though people were friendly.

Bad Juju Lounge 1425 10th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98122 * 206.709.9442. http://www.thebadjujulounge.com/. In a new location, and a little different vibe. But Belgium fries to die for next door and attached - so can enjoy with your favorite beverage. A different ambiance than the last location, still a great place to hang out. You can find good music flowing there every now and then, unless you're into hiphop and lounge - where your ear palates would be pleased. Good drink specials and a friendly staff. Less seating and space than their last venue, still a good place to chill. Rating 3 1/2 stars out of 5. Visited 12/27/2006.

The Underground Corner of Kiowa and Nevada, Downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado Rating: 3 stars out of 5 visited: 9/8/06 A thriving nightlife hotspot notorious for its several rooms, friendly staff, great food, potent drinks, and reputation for being the best gay friendly bar in the Springs. Nic, the excellent bartender, was tending later in the evening, and is one of the best bartenders in the Springs. DJ Omega and Tony Garcia were DJ'ing through the night, with some excellent selections and great music. Food is excellent. However, big complaint is that they don't get the night started till much later in the evening, and is a bit boring from 9 pm - 10:30 pm, until the dance floor is activated. Poorly attended the night we went, but we'll be back.

Rendezvous Martini Bar(719) 632-1381 * 128 N Tejon St * Colorado Springs, CO 80903 A high priced, but artistically aesthetic, metropolitan, martini bar located downtown Colorado Springs, on Tejon. Good service, and good martinis. However they are a bit over-priced for my tastes - $9 martinis. But if you've got money to blow, this is the place to go. Rating : 3 stars out of 5.

The Underground110 N Nevada Ave Colorado Springs, CO 80903 • 633-0590Apparently one of Colorado Springs only Goth Nights ... this 3-4 room venue with catwalks, and a couple of bars, pool tables, and dance floor - was quite a welcoming space to a decently crowded Goth scene that is comparable to that of Sanctuary in Vancouver, B.C. $5 cover, good drink specials, and strong drinks ... Excellent DJ and a good time with dancing. Fetish shows, BDSM play, candle dripping, and a little too much smoke. Incredibly good music. I certainly had a good time. Rating: 4 1/2 stars out of 5.

Icon Night Club5917 Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs • 719-528-6097Enter the world of Hip Hop. Me and a date ventured out to the acclaimed "2nd Annual Fantasy, Flesh, and Fetish Ball" that they were advertising everywhere. I have pretty high standards when it comes to these kind of balls, especially being molded by the famed "Sin City" of Vancouver, B.C. The night was a disappointment when it comes to fetish. It was a disappointment in terms of music. The club was very nice, good staff, good specials. Free drinks till midnight, you couldn't beat that. $10 cover, even beats most other fetish night covers. The place was jammed packed with hundreds in attendance, and quite a lineup to get in. But they didn't care what people wore to get in. No strict dress code. There were lots of hipsters in their jeans and t-shirts and baseball caps. I think for a "Fetish night" - strict dress should be enforced. Any holders of such a night without such, ruins the very concept of the night. Hell, they could have simply enforced "costume" and it would have been better. There was nothing fetish about the night, except perhaps a few ...

Eden Night Club217 E. Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs • 888-763-4100 Entering into the artsy and acclaimed "hottest club in town" - a very fancy, very colorful, and very enlightening night club (and apparently a restaurant too) designed for the elite and the chic ... Professional dancers on the tables, lots of bars, lots of bouncers - a velvet artsy-deco main room, with a neon-white bar room with glowing walls and floors (like something out of the white room in the movie the Matrix), a crowded patio, and Se7en, their large dance floor room ... guest star Brianna Banks hosting activities, a flowing fountain with free coconut-blended mysterious drink, free jello shots, free liquor tasting, I spent a mere $10 on cover and $4 for a tall whiskey and coke. Lots of eye-candy. Guys rest room had a woman in it handing out dry towels. That was a new one. The crowd smelled of money, a mix between the rich computer geek and the ski slope jock, some older big-whigs obviously bleeding money, I enjoyed the club and environment ... just a bit different than what I'm used to in the club scene ... I'm sure I'll be back .... For ...

We drove down to the downtown strip called "Tejon street" where most of the action is in Colorado Springs. Very historic meets deco area of town. Has a small town feel, but has lots of stuff going on. Bourbon Street at Rumbay20 North Tejon St, Colorado Springs • 719-634-3522 We ventured into the infamous "club of all clubs" and "Hottest dance club in town", or so many of the locals state. Eight clubs in one, this fantastic mix of rooms suites most attendees desires, though Liz was disappointed there was no C&W for her. There's the Red Martini, Rumbay, Fat City, the Patio, Masquerade, Copycats, Wildcats, and Sam's Smallest Bar. I'm not sure what the name is of every bar we ventured into - but it was really cool. $5 and you're in Bourbon Street and venturing in and out of each room with different flavors and people. Liz was in the mood for Jazz and Blues since there was no C&W, but was disappointed nothing was going on in the Jazz lounge - only some guy snoozin' on the couch and a few people lingering around the bars. We hung out for awhile in the large hiphop room (Wildcats?) ...
