Palacio

There are now 38 dance clubs with licences but only Palacio and Glam for our family. From the inspection report for Angels I deduce it failed. Still no sign of Amerika.

Last night I went to a dance club for the first time since the tragedy in the city three months ago. There haven't been too many changes at Palacio (Alsina 940) apart from the entrance charge going up to $15 (drink not included). My gin and tonic cost just $7 but I could scarcely recognize the gin. We arrived rather early but by 11:00 p.m. it had filled up. There are two projection screens at either end of the dance area and early in the evening when the place was 10% full there were regular slides with dire warnings of what to do in the event of an emergency and a pictorial of routes to the emergency exit. By 11:00 p.m. when the place was 90% full these had been completely replaced by the more usual publicity. This boliche (local word for disco) should definitely be near the top of a gay tourists list of places to go (Fridays from 1 a.m., Sundays from 9 p.m.). The place itself is an impressive sight being a former industrial building (I would love to know for what) with the roof being at least 25m above the dance floor. More to the point, there is an incredible concentration of really good-looking guys.

My disco tolerance time is about two hours (signs of advancing years, I'm afraid) so just after midnight self and bf took off to to Water Club (Uriburu 1018), and joined the crowd in the toilets for an hour or so of fun.
