This dumpster will disappear by Friday.
TODAY IN LAKEWOOD CLUBBING >>>
Everybody needs to party. There's nothing like a night of serious clubbing to blow off steam.
But the scene is an ever-changing monster. New clubs constantly open. The music constantly changes, the fashions constantly evolve. When I started clubbing years back, the style was raver. Everywhere you went you saw glow sticks and visors, baggy pants and backpacks. After a while, those godawful pimp-inspired getups took over. (If I never see another pimp hat or fuzzy green leopard-print coat, it'll be too soon.) Nowadays, fashion is a slicker and a bit more urban. A few years back, no one would dare wear a pair of jeans out - now they're all over.
Beginning Friday, Lakewood will have another chance to dance. The Longhorn Saloon & Restaurant reopens with an interior remodel including a brand spanking new dance floor. They cut the bar in half and shoved it back to make room for the Electric Slide.
No word yet who will be spinning on the weekends. We assume they'll still serve those freakishly strong Jell-O shots.

It's been urban for 20 years, in Tacoma. I hope it's not just another top 40 bar? Time for something a little more upscale, I'd say! Where's can you hear quality dance music or decent indie alternative rock?
