a lesbian club ...and got ushered to the door cause i was a
bloke. i didnt freqin know it was a gay girl place , no

careful where you go. ;/

it's oft called the san fran of the uk. expect drugs, gays
and clubs. also expect loads of rich ex londeners living it
up next door in posh hove. it's nice enough for holiday but
it's the sort of place where the 'wacky' fire juggling
people/trustifarians would get on my tits if i lived there.

great place, never lived there but grew up visiting it a
lot, expect the stoniest beach in the world - its no
paradise, but i have seen people surf off it. me pub o
choice is the globe just off the seafront, it has a neat
basement lounge.

I live there.

It's cool and from what I've seen, there are very few
weirdos. Except me, I guess.

The point about the gay clubs is true. The way I see it, if
they look all shiny, clean and nice, it's a gay club. If it
looks scuzzy and old and there are 13 year old girls in
thongs and boob tubes, it's a straight club.

I could ask my housemates to find out which ones are gay, if
you like.

The 'concourse' is Concorde 2, a music venue.

What are you going to do/ see in Brighton?

the first summer concert by Orbital (on June 10), unless I
decide go to see them at Global Gathering instead.

but gay bars and 13 year old girls are also a big
attraction!

In that case, go to:-

Tru,
Coalition,
Honey Club,
Sugar Cube,
Kulture
Oceana.

I don't go out much, so they are the only clubs I can
remember right now. They're for 'straights', btw.

A posh bar, one of the few places that has a dress code is
Pitcher and Piano.

Fish Bowl and Mash Tun are good student bars.

Komedia is a cool place for cultured people, too. my friend
did a short story reading there.

Yeah, Brighton is cool. Don't go to that other place that
orbital is playing at. :)

dont go to oceana unless you are 16 or a total prick
same goes for tru
in fact all of those places

if you want to go out for some techno, jungle, gabba, acid,
dubstep and all that crap then youre probably gonna have to
go to the volks

the north laine is full of trendy wankers and hippies
the south laine is for posh people
west st (where oceana and tru are) is for wankers and
townies and daytrippers

honey club is generally shit hard house and wankers

mash tun is full of student dickheads
mrs fitzhererts (next door) wagon and horses (opposite) are
much better

fishbowl is alright

you should definitely go to the bulldog on st james st

I was meant to be going today, but I am led to believe we'll
now be going next weekend. I saw Orbital play in Brighton
about 10 years ago, I believe Plaid supported. I like
Brighton, I have had many a fine time there.
