Bleh. The second room's music consisted of bad hip hop from 3 years ago - about as fresh as a bag of Doritos left outside for a month during a wet and humid summer. The crowd was pretty bland and to sit at any of the group seats, you had to "buy a bottle" -- lame. Pathetically pretending to be New York quality in Lawrence, KS just doesnt go over well. Most of the floor staff (except the "wanna-be VIP" bouncers, but even they were polite. Their job was just useless and stupid - not their fault) seemed extremely friendly and helpful, and the bathrooms were pretty nice in the second room (yeah, televisons in stalls! While you puke you can catch Dynasty!! A plus at any facility!) I liked the underlit portion of the floor, but found that my sneakers had too much traction to do any real dancing on the rest of the floor. Other than that, it wasnt too bad of a floor. I'll just wear slicker shoes next time.

The first room played bad pseudo-70's music only suitable for the 30 and up crowd who listen to KUDL. It had a small dance floor, which was unused and unlit. The least they could have done was play decent house or something upbeat and danceable in that room. Entering there from the main room always felt like someone had thrown a wet rag over your head, it was that boring. Thankfully, there was a pool table to entertain in what was otherwise a worthless waste of space.

Overall, I'd only go PERHAPS twice a year, with a very large group of very drunk, rowdy friends, IF I was hard up with nothing else to do in Lawrence. I havent eaten there, so Im giving them a 7 for the benefit of a doubt.

I went to Liquid on a Thursday night, which was apparently "ladies night," and by the end of it was left with something a few shades above utter dissapointment. Immediately hit with a $4 cover at the door, I wrote this off to the drink special being $2 u-call-it and decided not to tip my first couple of rounds to even the score. Once inside, at about 10:30, I looked around and realized that there was as many employees and security personal as there were people attending the club. This led me to believe that things would later pick up, and at about 11:30, the place had become packed.

The irony of Liquid was that, though there were obviously overstaffed security-wise, half the people I saw drinking that night had black X's on their hands. Another piece of irony was that even though the place was packed, I never had to wait longer than a couple minutes to get a drink, probably because most people attending weren't of age to buy one.

Liquid, as most people know, has a designated 21 and over room, but this didn't hold true either being that all of the underage people were in it. Also, the DJ was uninspired and trite. Management might want to consider recording 5 hours of 103.3, editing out the commercials, and airing it for the crowd because that's pretty much what was played.

I will give Liquid this, their waitresses and shot girls are easy on the eyes, but I often noticed that they were doing more flirting than working. Collectively, the place isn't much different than before when it was Flanagan's, all except for the waterfall bar and the patio area.

All in all, this place is just a watered down version of 815.

Last night I attended the coming out ball at club Liquid. I have often enjoyed a night of dancing at club Liquid on Wednesday nights as I enjoy the atmosphere of the alternative night and have a great number of friends who attend. However, last night was not as pleasant as usual.

The situation which marred my evening began with a woman telling me that I’m attractive. This type of occurrence isn’t exactly a rarity so I simply mumbled some awkward thanks and went on my way. Later, another woman, a friend of the first repeated the compliment also stating that it was she who had sent her friend to talk to me initially. I attempted to remain polite but also, bluntly stated that I did not appreciate being complimented for my looks. Moments later the same woman approached me again asking how one goes about getting to know me, and again, bluntness led me to honestly inform the woman that I’m not really looking to get to know anyone new.

I went on to continue my evening dancing with friends and enjoying myself. Later, while a friend of mine was purchasing shots the waitress informed me that “people were upset” and felt that I had negatively impacted the atmosphere because I had offended the cousin of the owner. She went on to suggest that I apologize. Instead, I chose to leave the establishment.

I spent the remainder of my evening quite upset. Since when is it offensive for someone to turn down another person’s advances? Why should I have to justify my choice to politely decline another person’s romantic interest?

What disturbs me the most about this situation is the fact that I go dancing at Liquid on Wednesday nights to avoid the typical aggressive sexual overtures made towards me by heterosexual men at other clubs. Heterosexual men often react very negatively towards women who are not receptive to their advances. I expect a more feminist reaction from the lesbian community.

For the gay community to advocate equal rights they also need to oppose other gender related forms of oppression.

It is oppressive to assume that a woman wants to be objectified and complimented for her physical appearance. It is oppressive to make a woman feel guilty because she is not receptive to all the advances made upon her. It is this oppressive mentality that makes young women today measure their self worth by their ability to get sexual attention.

This mentality also makes women feel guilty for saying no. No means no regardless of if it’s being said in response to an invitation to sex or to getting to know someone better. Just because I am single does not mean that I am simply waiting to be attained by the first interested party.

I certainly will not be frequenting club Liquid again any time soon.
