Car-guy’s paradise: Los Angeles, CA

Hot Wheels display at the Petersen. Yes, they're mounted on that awesome orange plastic track!

Of course, Los Angeles is a car-guy’s paradise.  The weather’s friendly to old vehicles, and there are twisty mountain roads and speedy freeways and slow-n-low cruising spots within an hour of one another.  The streets are filled with equal numbers [...]

sKizoFrenia @ the KRave Lounge, Las Vegas NV

Of course, we can’t go to a major city without seeking out its goth club.  Las Vegas’ is called sKizoFrenia, and it’s in the Harmon Theater which is part of the Planet Hollywood casino/hotel shopcenter (which used to be the Aladdin).

The Terrapin Station hosts Nocturnum on Sunday nights.

Elysium, Austin TX

Formerly known as the Atomic Café, Elysium’s smack in the middle of fratboy heaven, an unlikely location for a dedicated goth-industrial haven, but it exists.

Neo, Chicago IL

Leland City Club, Detroit MI

More than one regular calls it “Shitty Club,” but they still keep showing up.

2High Studios New Year’s Eve Celebration, Atlanta GA

Hosted by SecretRoom.net at 2High Studios, the bash promised good music, burlesque and fetish shows, alcohol and dancing. Noise, noise, noise! We just had to see if it was worth a 150-mile one-way trip.
