Editorial Review for Paradox – by Ben Niekirk

In Short
One of the hippest mainstream dance clubs in Austin has been changing with the times for over 10 years. Fog machines, endless lights and over-the-top foam parties created for teenagers and college students are all the rage. With an 18-and-over policy every night, the place is usually packed and the crowd pulses to the pounding beats while mingling and lounging on the overstuffed couches.

So this place was the first club I have EVER gone to. The cover charge was crazy high and the guys in front glared at any guy who was in line! When you got in it seemed alright. We went to the dance floor and loved the music, but for the most part no one was dancing. There were a few girls on the platforms but other than that pretty dead. After awhile it picked up and more people started dancing, then it got WAY crowded! My friends and I ended up dancing in our own little corner, with the trashcan. It took a while to get through really sweaty and touchy people till we could find an alright place to dance. Guys there were all perverted and kept trying to stick their hands down my friends pants. My fiance ended up being our body guards and didn't have any fun. After awhile we went to a wall and when I looked to the side of me I noticed two people going at it, sexually! This girl was literally riding this guy in front of everybody and everyone went about there business like it was normal, and I'm sure it is. When we were leaving the place smelled of regurgitation, urine, and herbal substances! Someone needs to go in there and straighten that place up!

Pros: Great music!!

Cons: Everything else

A couple of my friends and I were looking to have some fun at a club. My friend was referenced to PARADOX and so we all decided to go. It was the first time that all of us went their. We arrived around 11:30 and the line wasnt too long to get in being that it was quite early. But right when we entered the building we noticed that this establishment wasn't what we had seemed. The club was very hot, it smelled like herbal substances, and there was glass bottles and cups all over the floor, which isnt safe for anyone. There was a lot of people that had a ton of attitudes and people fought over chairs to sit on at the table. Then towards the end of the night. Two people happened to be dancing with each other and then I noticed that they began having s3x... Not just riding each other... LITERALLY HAVING S3X!!! The female had her dress pulled up and the guy had his pants down. I do not think that a club is a place for people to reproduce. I felt really uncomfortable and I wanted to get out as fast as possible. It was one of the worst clubs I have ever been to. And I go to a lot of clubs... and none of them were as worse as this one. I would recommend not going there to anyone.

Pros: Plenty of People there to meet

Cons: Glass on the floor, tons of ugly old people, people that are high
