    Meetup - Digweed - Firestone - Orlando, FL

    Who's coming? My friend and I are getting a table for this... Also... CAN ANYONE here find the article from Rolling Stone Magazine that was written about Club Firestone - Orlando and John Digweed... because at one time this was one of the most famous Clubs in the world. +1000 for anyone who can find that article or recall exactly the story/history behind it.

    Reason being, my college roommate just moved here about a year ago from NYC, and is going and I'd like to tell him more about the history of the club. I forget the details exactly though .



    It was fun while it lasted...

        I think it's safe to say Firestone was never one of the most famous clubs in the world.

            You know, table service. It's an American (and Asian) thing

            Is March 17 a public holiday? (Ok don't think it is.)

            Any idea how long he'll play for?

            I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

              Firestone has been around for ages, for sure it used (maybe it still is) to be one of the biggest clubs in the US

              Thanks for posting the article

                You would have thought with it being so big it would have a wikipedia page at least.

                  Really? You sit at tables in clubs while everyone else dances. Haha fuckin weird.
                  I've never heard of firestone either. Is it where yogi bear lives?

                        You haven't been in this scene long enough then, Firestone was big back in the 90s. People like Jimmy Van M have played there, so has S&D.

                        Generally securing a table involves getting a bottle of spirits and gives you a 'reserved' space to hang out.

                        It gets out of control when there are more tables than dance floor.

                          We're old, married and not clubbers at all anymore, so for the sake of making our wives happy, we are getting the table. Ahh married life
