    The Circle

    I just got back from Ty Tek tonight... and once again, i was reminded of how much i hate "the circle." Ty tek was pretty good; Iexpected better based on past epxeriences, but I'llfgive him a 7/10 for this performanc.e he started off with bad clubby shjit, like some eurithmics remixes & the likes, but ended with quality stuff. anyways, back to The Circle

    thisis something i've always attributed to Kansas City, but i'm not sure if every city suffers fromthis or not (hence the poll). Basically, about ahlfway through any party the crowd will form a circle RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING DANCEFLOOR, every person facing the center of the circle, and will continuously watch the center of the circle while some random douche walks to the middle and starts dancing/breakdancing/looking like a turd in front of the rest of the crowd. once the random douche gets out of the circle, another random douche decides to compete against Random Douche #1 in some stupid dance-off-type shhit. repeat until half an hour passes and a big group of drunkards unknownigly step into the center of the circle and break it up.

    during this Ty Tek show, I watched teh circle form twice! pain in the ass. the first time, I caught it starting to form early on... so I jumped right into the middle of it and just stood there listening to the music. before I know it, oneof my friends treis pulling me out of it because i'm "in the way," but she didn't realize it was intentional. I looked over,k and the circle had "moved" slightly to my right, and there were the dancers... looking as great as ever. i started pulling friends in with me to try ending the circle before it got to big, but it continued to grow, and grow, and grow. eventually, some dude was dancing, and pulled some fucking south-park-one-handed-move in front of me, staring me in the eyes like he was a badass. what a fucking douche. of course, I smile at the little douche and act like I have no clue that I'm standing in the middle of his precious 15-minutes-of-weekly-fame ring, when the whole time I keep inching closer and closer toward teh cetner. of course, because 1) it's always the same 2-4 people that start thje circle at every event, and 2) it's just stupid as fuck, it annoys the fuck out of me every time it forms. 45 minutes later, the stupid thing formed again, and again I find myself inching closer and closer to the circle, then inward in the circle trying to make it die to avoid some bad scene from the movie "You Got Serve"d.

    So is this a Kansas City thing? Who else suffers from The Circle?

    i've seen it.
    happens a lot in tampa.
    the cubans have something to prove, and it isnt that they speak really sloppy spanish.
    ghey and unwanted in a club where any sort of "progressive" is served up.
    if i want to watch break dancin, i'll go to club 1 tweezy, or go to blockbuster and pick up 'Breakin 2 - Electric Boogaloo'.

        Thankfully, those tended to dissapear after I stopped going to middle school dances.

          i hear what you saying Pickle. i have seen some quality breakdancing to the music and it kicked some ass, but the key was that it is TO THE MUSIC.
          "those guys" just like the southpark episode start into their routine that follows the beat of their own drummer. More than half the time the people watching the circle can't follow the music either so it works out great the breakers. turns the night into a circus, "...... and in this ring we have BD Douche Bag.... ". what ya gotta do is randomly spill water/beer into puddles over the floor in club the wetter the floor the less head spins

          most of the clubs i've been going to you run into the other problem, you have no room to dance. you become part of swaying crowd of people pushed into each other as everyone walks around you. you have to show up at 10pm to find a small patch of floor to get down on before the masses show up.
          once upon a time, machines were mice, and men were lions. now that its the opposite, it's twice upon a time

              i try to trip the people i see that are about to go into the circle. you can spot them, then stand right next to them. when they start bouncing up and down and when they are about to jump in, just hook thier leg and walk back into the crrowd.


              also, i hate the kids who show up to clubs and start hard core rave dancing. they run into people and throw thier arms about like a gorilla in a seizure. one time this gal kept bouncing into another girl i was with and my friend actually walked up to the asshole's b/f and told, in so many words

              "if she hits her again, imma hit you very hard"

              got a great reaction from the surrounding community of people who felt like they tiki barber in training camp drills.

                      We get circles sometimes but only when there are two or more people in the middle kicking or stabbing each other

                      Though one time the whole breakdancing society invaded some dnb gig at uni, luckily there was a balcony for things to fall off

                        I haven't seen "the Circle" in a long time. One of my fondest clubbing memories happened in the glory days of Giant when for whatever reason there was a 100 plus person conga line winding through the club.

                          You guys should've seen Pickle in Miami! He plucked some dude's glowstick out of his candy-raver hands and launched it across the place! The guy is 85 pounds of thunder and lightning.

                              I'm hanging with you guys next time. Would have loved to have seen that.
