    So The_Penguin is an old guy depending on what one defines as old and I'm almost up there to with respect to beyond demographics. There is one female member who occassionally posts who is most likely in their 50's but aside from that, beyond is still mostly a mix of gen Xers and millennials - not really all that old.

    Hell, I don't consider myself old yet but I have had occurences in the past 18 months that should start putting that notion into my head, being told that my hair is no longer brown at my DL renewal in 2019 and also in 2019 being asked by a polite young server in Drumheller what portion size I wanted for dinner (senior versus regular) - MalibuStacy clued me in on that one.

    That place was a classic, 40+ year old guys hitting on my 20 year old friends when we went there

    There was a different 'club' on memorial and 36th st in the little strip mall east of the petro, just south of JD's, definitely a place you kept your back to the wall, my friend convinced me to go there for some reason, I remember leaving and the cab driver said I was just in time as cabs don't come after (that time I got in the cab) due to the people that frequented the place
    Glenns Memories Bar, where all the 400 pounders in the Northeast went to pickup Jamaican guys looking for companionship and citizenship.
    My main haunt was the Warehouse, I bought a membership while underage, at 15, to the Plexis Paternal society, using bought Fake ID. My ID was a drivers licence, of a guy that was 6" shorter than myself, with the wrong color eyes and hair, but nobody really gave a damn. The amount of Benson and Hedges I smoked there along with the Fosters draft.

    You gangstas might as well toss The Mint on that list too
    Was never a "gansta" but Mynt was one of my favorite clubs. That basement was such a fire hazard though, I remember being packed in there literally shoulder to shoulder. My clubbing days were 2005-2010 though, it was usually Mynt, Tantra, Whiskey, No Name Lounge, Mercury, Met, Habitat...DJs at Flames Central...can't even remember what else anymore...good times, though I would probably never wanna live that stage in my life again lol thinking about it makes me tired. Pretty sure at 40 I am starting to hear signs of long term ear damage (didn't help that I spent years in the rave scene in Vancouver trying to dance as close to the speakers as possible and also tinkered with DJing when I was at home and also listened to UNCE UNCE UNCE UNCE everywhere I went including at work, on the bus, at the gym...)...as every once in a while I will notice that all I can hear is faint ringing when Im at home and it's super quiet.

    So you're sort of old but not really?

    I wonder how many beyond members can put up their hands and say that they even existed before 1980. For all I know, I was probably partying with some beyond member's parents.
    So which member(s) is/are Speedog's illegitimate kid(s)?

    I'm another old guy of Beyond and frequented Billy McIntyres and Billy Miner's in the late 1980s / early 1990s.

    Yup, spent my share of time at Frankie and Johnny's at the North Centre Inn; South Centre Inn was too far away from the university.

    Yup, between the Warehouse, the original republik on 9the ave and the Westward club. We got into lucifers a few times, but they didn't care for punk rocker types very much.

    North Centre Inn was gone in 1995, how many beyond members are actually old enough to have experienced Frankie and Johnny's?

    1992 - Electric Ave- Cocktails and Dreams and the Skyroom (or was it Skybar), City Limits (who had the beer tub girls in Budweiser bikinis standing by the window), 1-800 club across the street from Coconut joes.

    Also liked the Embassy but that was much later.

    Freakin at the Beacon... I worked at Crescent Heights Husky in high school a block away, they had formidable door staff, but we got in there with some invites from the "talent".
