Pink Trash Travels to: Spin Nightclub

Last night, Pink Trash traveled to Chicago's SPIN nightclub. I had visited the establishment known for its "twink" and lesbian crowd a few weeks ago to play pool. Because we had such a great time, we decided to return last night with more friends. Understandably, some in our group were kicking and screaming along the way, but once there, they now understand why Spin needs a second look.

No, the crowd hasn't changed, but the space has. New to Spin is a lower level dance club. Open with two lounge areas, the space truly is one of the best in Boystown. That, coupled with good music, the renovation screams "good time."

So, the group of us decided to take it upon ourselves to reinvigorate Spin to the 30 and 40 crowd - the ones who have the money to spend on drinks (because last night at 11:30, for example, it was fairly empty). As a result, I've contacted Spin's management to possibly schedule a "holiday kick-off" event in November with discounted drinks and an opportunity for the nightclub to morph into a hotspot on Halsted.

I'm not a big fan of going out, but when I do, I like to listen to good music with the option to dance - and not under an eight foot ceiling. So here's to hoping Spin management recognizes they have a chance to take their club to the next level rather than leaving it, and their shower contests, as a thing of yesterday.
