East Coast clubs, West Coast clubs, The Mefi East/West debate was closed (and a shameful double, evidently). May we, like, elucidate?
This post was deleted for the following reason: Elucidating on year-old askme threads via crappy links propping up inchoate concept posts: not really so great. -- cortex -- cortex
I don't get it either. A bunch of Jersey clubs vs. whatever that is in LA (70 yr. old hands, 5 yr. old breasts).

I'm all about clubitup.com for my daily dose of LOLGINOS but comparing it to the Cobrasnake is a little misleading. It's not like there's no hipsters on the east coast. You should be comparing the Cobrasnake to the Misshapes, but if you did you wouldn't have a metafilter post, you'd have the long running Gawker series called Blue States Lose that's been seen by just about everyone here every Friday for about the last three straight years.

West coast - laid back, kind, but sleep until noon
Would you kids shut the hell up, I'm trying to sleep here!

too bad,
when I see these pictures,
I definitely feel that I'm getting old.
I'm too old for that stuff.

That theory dosen't hold water, Peter. Club chicks are generally ecstasy-addled glitterati who wouldn't cross the room to spit on a dude like me's shoes and that's the opposite of hot (and I hate the word 'hot' anyways, what's wrong with 'pretty' 'beautiful' or 'sexy'). Plus booze is cheaper in the neighborhood bar than in some nightclub, and you can play whatever music you want on the jukebox without being at the mercy of some dipshit DJ. Plus they won't turn you away for not being fabulous enough. Bars win.
And I've got swinging doors a jukebox and a barstool
And my new home has got a flashing neon sign
Stop by and see me anytime you want to
Cause I'm always here at home till closing time

Yeah but jonmc, don't forget the other side of that coin:
Well each night I leave the bar-room when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
But tonight the bottle let me down
Now, maybe if ol' Merle had gone to a club...

yeah, clubs would be so much better if they played Merle Haggard.

not that I'm defending any of the freaks in these links, mind you.
but i would guess East Coast clubs top West Coast clubs by a huge margin. precisely because there are places in New York which don't turn you away because you're not fabulous enough, no glitterati, etc. (not that I've ever been to America - this is hearsay)

Not to mention Merle Travis.

I'd help you with that, flapjax, but I need to restring my pedal steel.

I was delighted to spot a colleague in one of CitrusFreak12's links. Glad you don't want to hurt him!
