A club-music questionnaire!

Live music sucks. So I'd like to check the rockism of the live-music questionnaire that's floating around now ("loudest concert"? who cares?) with this club-music variant.

First club experience: Hunters in Elk Grove, IL.

Best club experience: Halloween 2002 at Club Parking in Montréal. 

Runners-up: Mixing from Gloria Estefan's 'You'll Be Mine (Party Time) (Rosabel's Fiesta Mix)" to Albita's "El Chico Chevere [The Cute Boy] (Ralphi's Main Vox Mix)" for a crowd of straight folks at an afternoon street party outside of Gus' Mexican Cantina in Milwaukee.

The DJ (Kimberly Anne?) mixing from Taana Gardner's "Heartbeat" to Ini Kamoze's "Here Comes the Hotstepper" on my birthday at 219 in Milwaukee.

Dancing to rock 'n' roll (!) and even punk (!!) at the Squeezebox party at Don Hill's during my first time in Manhattan in 1998.

Worst club experience: Matisse in Milwaukee. Getting turned away at the door because my friend had a sports jersey on. We were told later it was a gang thing (?).

Biggest club: Vortex in Chicago or Connection in Louisville.

Club attended most: Probably 219 in Milwaukee.

Most surprising experience: Matisse. I expected nothing from this dumpy club at 1806 E. North Avenue. Also, the bouncers were jerkwads (see above). But the DJ one evening (and possibly many more) was astonishing. All I remember is that he played Glam's "Hell's Party" (or some variation hereof).

Next club experience: Probably (The) Monster in Manhattan.
