Welcome to my Quick n Dirty ABSOLUTION FAQ Page, which I have prepared on the fly just to answer some often-asked questions while I learn more about web design. -Xtine
Q: What is ABSOLUTION?
A: ABSOLUTION is NYCs Original Multi-DJ Gothic/Industrial Scene Night. It was started in 1998 by DJ Jason in CBGBs basement. ABSOLUTION is a Goth/Industrial dance party and preserve for true Goth/Industrial culture. It is also a way for established DJs to network, share ideas and strengthen their reputations by doing a short set on a weekend night. ABSOLUTION typically features 8-12 DJs per night chosen and scheduled by DJ JASON.
Q: Where is ABSOLUTION?
A: Currently ABSOLUTION is being held at UC87 , located at 87 Ludlow St @ Delancy.
Q: How often does ABSOLUTION happen?
A: EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT
Q: What are ABSOLUTION'S hours?
A: 10pm-4am
Q: Is there a dress code?
A: Yes. We are a Goth/Industrial party. Therefore it is appropriate to wear a Gothic, Industrial, or some other Dark Scene clothing. If you don't have anything appropriate, the minimum is what I call PIB- Person In Black, which means to wear as much black as possible. Sneakers, blue denim jeans, basebeall caps, etc are frowned upon, as is any sort of "hipster" attire(shudder!). When in doubt, just go with all black.
Q: Can I DJ at ABSOLUTION?
A: Are you or have you been a resident DJ at another Goth/Industrial party here in NYC or in another city? If so, you may contact DJ Jason to inquire about bookings at DJ JASON FACEBOOK.
Q: What is a resident DJ?
A: A resident DJ is a DJ who is booked every time the party happens. If you don't know what a resident DJ is, chances are you are not ready to spin at ABSOLUTION.
Q: I heard that ABSOLUTION had smoking and was BYOB, is that still true?
A: No. From July 4th 2009 to Oct. 2 2009 we were at a private loft space that allowed smoking and BYOB, but that has not been the case since we moved from that space in Ocober.
Q: How much does it cost to get in?
A: $8 with flyer or ABSOLUTION ID card, $10 at the door.
Q: I heard you couldn't get in without an ID card, is this true?
A: No. The ID cards are given to regular patrons as a sort of permanent discount card, but you don't need an ID card to get in.
Q: I am a fetishist. Am I welcome at ABSOLUTION?
A: Everyone is welcome at ABSOLUTION, but ABSOLUTION'S main topic is music, dancing and Goth/Industrial fashion/clothing. Will you find someone at ABSOLUTION to satisfy your fetish? You could, but that is not the main topic of the night so sitting around all night waiting for someone to spank or trample you might prove frustrating. If your main goal is to satisfy a fetish, you may have better luck at a party which lists fetishism as one of it's main topics. But if you want to socialize, drink and hear some of the best and most relevant music in NYCs Goth/Industrial scene, you might be happily surprised by the people you meet here. After all, the Goth/Industrial scene and Fetish scene often go hand in hand here in NYC.
Q: I pulled up the flyer on my cellphone. Can I use it at the door to get in?
A: No. You must have a printed copy of the flyer to get the discount. There are many reasons for this, the most important one being that we count the flyers at the end of the night so we need a hard copy. We also feel that the flyers are part of the charm of nightclub parties and we'd like to retain that part of nightclubbing as part of our event.
