Yeah there seems to be a continuum between high-end velvet-rope type clubs and raves. Somewhere in the middle toward the rave side you see glowsticks and other raver gear. On the other side, you don't see it, and they're not even allowed in a lot of places. Certainly a lot of club owners want to keep a boundary between them and the drugged out crowd that tends to go along with such things, and that crowd keeps themselves in their own places too. That's something that always bothers me about the term "clubbing", it's so vague, but you don't want to ask what exactly they mean because then it's like you're out of the loop.  |
To answer the thursday question: thursdays in many cities are the 18+ nights, while Friday and Saturday nights are reserved for 21+. Of course, 21+ can attend the 18+ nights, and often do.
There are still many techno clubs that allow glow sticks and reaver gear in as long as there's no drugs. Once they catch drugs or see you on them, you're out of there. I personally don't do drugs, but love to rave. I love playing with people's minds while they're on some drug. If they're all drugged up on X or something else, why shouldn't I use it for my enjoyment? Often they just love to watch and recieve light shows, and will sometimes pay for them, so for me it's great fun to go in with the glowsticks and rave. While there are places that don't allow them, there's aways a club around the corner that does, and I have found those to often be the ones that get more business, as far as techno clubs go. I wouldn't bring glow sticks to hip-hop club unless they had a techno DJ spinning that night.
