[re vegan restaurants]
The India House Vegetarian Cafe. It's not specifically vegan but you
will find vegan dishes there. Actually, any of the Indian
restaurants can probably hook you up. I recommend the Raj Mahal on
Monroe Ave.
Aladdin's (which has a couple locations, I recommend the one on
Monroe Ave. this time of year) has all kinds of food but is fairly
vegetarian friendly. The minestrone rocks. The lentil's not bad
either.

The Lighthouse Keeper:
21 Apr 1997
Well...
And I doubt it's still there...
But you should TRY looking for "The Cauldron."
The majority of the goth scene in Raliegh hang at The Realto theater for
Rocky Horror. I can give you that address and phone number:
Rialto Theatre
1620 Glenwood Ave.
Raleigh, NC
856-8683
Have fun. The goths in Raleigh are a kinder, gentler group.

hey ryan, help me out here. the few of us in louis are trying to improve
things. come to sparks on wed nights. i dj some goth tunes part of the
night. (this is not a glory seek. i do it because no one else will. i'd
rather be out dancing.) i say part of the night, as that's all the house
will let me have until we get enough people in there to take the entire
night back. (it used to be cool, but, well, you know louisville.)
sparks: 104 w. main st. wednesdays: $.50 wells, $1.50 bottles (i think. i'm
not sure as i don't drink beer).

Well, it's not strictly goth, but Cooters in cincinnati plays industrial
and a decent amount of goth on Mondays and Thursdays. I think 1470 in
Daytonplays good stuff on Thursady nights. If you feel like a mini road
trip, Fridays at Mekka in Columbus they have this little patio club that
plays good stuff.
You should go to Best Buy near Tri County Mall; they have quite a bit of
stuff you won't be able to find anyplace else. And the prices are rather
good.

Mindwave Records has been re-opened and is Madison Avenue, just a few doors from The Mission.
The Mission is an upscale goth boutique selling clothing and accessories, not cd's.
Chain Link now only has one store, being the one on Madison Avenue.
Danse Matrix is open, one of the best clubs I've seen in a while. Fridays only, 21 and over. $3.00 cover
620 Frankfort Avenue in the Warehouse district.

My Generation on Detroit Rd. in Westlake sells a lot of good stuff. A
lot of imports too. Too bad Mindwave isn't around anymore. For most
of the hard to find stuff, you'll have to mail order it.

The Mission [cds] is located a couple doors down from the Chain Link (there are
two locations) in Lakewood. Also, there are some good shops along
Coventry Ave on the east side-- not specifically goth, but well
worthwhile. Check out Big Fun for all kinds of weird toys, and Pez!

Thu, 30 May 1996
THE CHAMBER:
The place is suitably dark and forboding, from teh the screaming face plaque
to the chained skulls along the wall (not real, as far as I know). The dance
floor needs more space, though. The entire place does, really. Maybe they'll
grow as time goes on....
The gog-go girls (gothic go-go girls?!?!?!?!) were nice-looking and dressed a
la Wendy O. Williams (thank god for electrical tape!) and had the look of Mia
Wallace from Pulp Fiction. Tres exquisite, if you're into ogling bare flesh.
The crowd was a nice mix of punks, goths, vamps and fetishists. A few normals
strayed in, but didn't stay long. :)
The drinks are WAY overpriced (as in any decent club, which really sucks), but
the selection is good.
Friday night is retro night. (80s new wave and punk)
Saturday is what they deem "Neural Agony" (nice name!) - their industrial
night.
Sunday is their all-out gothic night, with free cover to ladies.
118?? Detroit Ave, Lakewood, Ohio.
No, they don't know their own address. It's 2 doors down from Phantasy, and 2
blocks west of 117th.
Directions: I-90 West from downtown Cleveland to the 117th St. exit.
Turn right. LEft on Detroit Ave.
The Chamber is on the Right.

An Industrial/Goth/New Wave night opened on Saturdays in Columbus Ohio. I
don't know the name for the night but it's @ Traffic Jam on 6th and Spring
Street. It's only $3 and the music is great! The DJs are current in their
selections. The dance floor is spacious enough so you won't bump into people
as in other clubs. I highly recommend this night if you're in the area.

Bars in Columbus Oh
Outland-goth industrial night 4 days a week-tues, wed, fri +sat
between B/t 1st and 2nd aves on perry st kinda hard to find but
usually well worth it (tuesday and wednesday $1, friday and
saturday $2, free beer on
tuesday nights, wednesdays has swing music thrown in, a rather odd
bondage thing on saturdays)
The drinks are good, the lighting is wierd, and when the weather
is nice, they have this great patio area opened up
Maxwells- Goth industrial night monday, eighties night thursday,
B/t 10th and 11th ave on High st
drinks are Blah, very dark atmosphere, thursdays are really crowded
Shops in columbus:
Atlantis- Corner of king ave and high st
Small place, sells used and new stuff , one of the few places to
get decent stuff in columbus
Avalon- 8th and high st
Mostly raver/hip hop shit, occasionally worth it
has a sister store across the street that sells shoes, this place
is pretty decent
Teddy's- cleveland ave and morse rd
Lingere store, sells corsets, fetish wear ,etc
prices are kind of steep but the quality is good
The Garden-high st south of first ave
adult books and stuff, has some latex and fetish wear, very
creepy place

Columbus, Ohio has a store called "Wild Man's Leather and Lace" That has
a hell of a selection. If I knew more specifically what you are looking
for I'd be more help. Cincy has Rock City on short Vine St., but I have
not been there in years and even then it was partially lame.
Otherwise, there are several mail order places out there, of which, I
personnally know of only a few. Others may be more helpful. I usually
hit the thrifts for combats myself.

I (along with 3 others) DJ the monthly Fetish night. The next one is
on Sunday the 20th of July at Berbati's Pan.
> There's a gothic/industrial night at Paris Theatre downtown (call them for
> specifics). That's about it for DJ'd stuff.
There is a saturday after hours thing that is all ages and appeals
mostly to the White Zombie/ NIN / Marilyn Manson crowd of 15 year olds.
Every other Thursday (starting this thursday) there will be a 21+
gothic/Industrial/darkwave night at The Paris Theater. The guy who is
going to DJ it DJs with us at Fetish night. He plays more upbeat stuff,
>from what I heard of his sets... lots of older stuff that the 21+ crowd
would know and love, as well as good newer stuff.
Starting Sunday the 13th at Evolution there is going to be an All
Ages night that promises to play much more obscure and dancefloor
challenging material (Nurse With Wound, LPD, C93, Attrition, Diamanda
Galas) according to the flyer I picked up.
I'm not sure of the address for berbati's, but The paris Theater is at
#6 SW 3rd and Evolution is at 333 SW Park.

course, you're gonna want to spend some time on South Street. Lots of cool
thrift stores, food places, used record-cd shops, a few gawthy kinda
stores......not to mention the now closed-down Haven on South and Second.
*sniff*
piece of advice: go to Lorenzo's, kinda near Penn's Landing. they make the
best pizza i have ever eaten in my short 15 years of existence.

...the Princeton Record Exchange, for those of you in philly
(since it's about 40 minutes), is absolutely amazing. It's located on Tulane
St. right off campus. I had heard good things, so I went in expecting a
couple of wierd CDs. Boy was I wrong.
The thing that tipped me off was the stack of Merzbow CDs (around 10). So I
went looking for haujobb. Both albums, frames, and cleaned visions (which I
promptly bought, and while you're not going to tell me it's another maternal
instinct, i was impressed, although the lyrics seem to step over the line of
pretentiousness), along with the remix wars. I have never, and I repeat
never, seen a haujobb CD on sale in a real store. It's hard enough to find
them in catalogs. I go looking for coil. Every CD import release plus the
domestic ones. I go looking for :wumpscut:. Here they miss, no wumpscut,
but they do have Noisex under wumpscut and they said that someone just came
in and bought them all. Nurse with Wound, Current 93, SPK, you name it, they
got it. All 6 My Bloody Valentine CDs, etc. etc. etc. I am a fucking happy
man.
