What's CC even like these days? I think last I heard they had moved away from the Goth scene completely and were playing hiphop and dubstep type stuff. I don't even remember exactly when the last time I was there but I am pretty sure it was a NYE maybe around 2010-2012 and at that point the scene had already diminished quite a bit. As probably the only person to regularly drive 243 miles one way, just to go to CC on a Saturday night, I will say, I miss those days. I used to stay up all night Friday night playing video games and go to bed around 8 am on Saturday so I could wake up by 4 o'clock central time and drive to Detroit and be there by 10pm eastern time. I got drunk AF until last call, stayed until the ugly lights came on, and then sobered up with Crank and Rambo at Lucy & Ethel's and drove 243 miles back home to go to bed 🤣🤷 Even stayed at Scary Guy's house a few times and that was even cooler! Man I miss those days. I miss Detroit in general, too. Very unique city out of all the major cities I've been to. Probably some of the most welcoming, hospitable people I've ever met in one city, as well. I'll never forget one of the Halloween parties my friend and I went to after CC for some fun and absinthe in the basement, and we were too tired/trashed to make the drive back home so we slept in my car on the street. One of the neighbors actually came out and offered to make us coffee and breakfast. Dude didn't know us from Adam - just knew we were there from the previous night's party. Cool ass people, man. Edit to add - also, now that I think about it, when people used to ask me why I drove so far every weekend just to go to a club, I didn't have a good answer. But looking back, there really was not a place even on par with Detroit (area) as far as a Goth scene goes, in 800 miles in any direction. Chicago was literally a stone's throw away but they did not have any goth clubs worth visiting. Nothing even close. Back then, the only other places I knew of that had a comparable goth scene were Miami and NYC.

I miss the lack of need for subscriptions and the art curriculum in schools. No real emotional outlets growing up, and now you have to pay for everything. Let me watch my favorite shows in peace Disney!😭😭and why are all the cool art theme classes out of the city and so much money🥲 and why does no one wave anymore to simply say hi, and what is up with the lack of good workers in the hospitality field, I'm doing everyone's shift😭with little pay that goes towards Netflix, and Netflix can't even keep the good shows (some of the movies are good though) and ahhhhh.... Anyway, that's my vent coming back to the board.
