Albion closed :(
Oh my god, Albion actually closed!
But... but... that's the first Goth club I ever went to! I was 17, with Stefanie and Athena, and I totally didn't fit in, but that night I fell in love with the Depeche Mode song "Walking in My Shoes."
I got my fake ID for the main purpose of getting into that club. (It worked.) I saw Uranium 235 there, and Joe (who didn't have a fake ID) snuck in as a roadie, and the band hung out outside with us and the underage fans who couldn't get in, and Chrissy's hair got stuck in Shane's nipple ring, and I was trying to prevent drunken Margaret from falling over, even though I barely knew her.
Steff, Chrissy, Jitney, Shane, and I went there after Uranium 235 played the Bitter End, and we took these goofy pictures, and no one could believe that Jitney was only 13.
That same night I had my final confrontation with a psychotic lunatic of a former friend. We had a tearful screaming match on the second floor, where the coat check is now, and I never spoke to her again. One of the best decisions I've ever made, and it taught me how to recognize (and avoid) the psychic vampires and pathological narcissists I've encountered since.
I saw Godhead there with Stefanie and Lisa and Helyne, and we papered the bathroom with Uranium 235 fliers, and some dude calling himself "Voltaire" hit on Helyne, and I thought he was creepy. And then afterwards the girls came back to my dorm room and we drew goofy pictures of Chris Bride and did impressions of Jason Miller.
I saw The Cruxshadows there more times than I can count. I'm sure I spent at least one Halloween there, and I spent a New Years Eve with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drujan seeing Voltaire and Melotron. I saw Bella Morte and Slick Idiot and dozens of other bands. I saw Chemlab there for the first time, and met Jared Louche there. I saw PIG there when they didn't play until 3am and the poor friends I'd dragged along went home, and then 10zlaine and I took Guenter Schulz out to breakfast at a diner on 9th Avenue. I've hung out there with nearly every friend I've ever had, including plenty who would never have entered a Goth club otherwise.
They can't be closed.
I hated the snooty atmosphere and the overly-loud speakers and the disgusting bathrooms and the awful, expensive drinks, but still, I have so many memories of that place. :(
