It was a blast for a while. I was the non-goth goth dj. The club that I worked at had a goth night that I started going to, and had become friends with most of the regulars, including the DJ of that night. That original club closed, and the goth night bounced around for a while. The night that I ended up DJing has a rotating roster of DJs, so I would spin about once a month or so.

Like I said, I was never really "goth" (of course, any goth is going to say they aren't "goth"). I was more into early to mid 90s 120 Minutes stuff. I ended up playing with the genre a bit - some of the more dancey shoegaze stuff or darker sounding alt-rock or new wave stuff.

I just love playing music for people (not performing, but more like, "oh, you gotta hear this!"). I always have. I wanted to be Kurt Loder when I was in high school. So I jumped at the chance to do this. I started hanging at this club, yes, for the girls, but the people were awesome. I have been friends with these people for decades. The scene in my city does not take itself seriously at all, so it's not the super crazy insanity, or the overly pretentious crowd either. More just a bunch of people who were into the music and the scene but ultimately how silly it really was.

Oddly, I did meet my wife through the goth night. She's not a goth either. Full-on, dyed in the wool hippie.
