I went mendel, leo, the warehouse you name it we went i am very excited to have found this site and am looking forward to my 20 year reunion this year can't wait.
I use to go to Lamirage, sauer's, edge of the looking glass, powerhouse, warehouse, athletic club, bismarck, rivera hardy my dj's were farley, ron hardy, lil louis, frankie knuckles, gene hunt, an andre hatchett and remember the promotions park ave, gucci, diamond corp and getiing the pluggers and seeing the posters on every pole in the city
The warehouse was my joint for real, I love that place me and my wife were just talking about going when it was freezing outside and leaving our coats in the car. Praying that when you came back nobody broke in and stole you 8-Ball coat. And you know you would'nt find a parking space within three blocks of the spot. That was when house was house, not that b96 techno house, I am talking about the straight real shit. That shit that would get your mind,body and soul right. When I first started going I was always the youngest so we would bum rush the door with our money in hand and I would get in everytime,with my brothers ID. Mendel,Basement parties with the red,blue light bulb. The Loft the Muzic Boxx,The Rivera,The Rink. This here is off the hook I bumpin this like I'm at the club. Gene Hunt, Ron Hardy(R.I.P.) ,Sadar at Chicken Wings,shitttttted. That's the one part of my life that I really miss,going to the club and dancing all night. Then hitting Harold's for a six piece salt and pepper with mild on the side. Long live HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
