COBRA! Tonight!

[Westheangelino]

Nothing can stop me from hitting up Transfix tonight at Cobra! Who else is going?

I haven't been there in several years. I believe it was Cobra 1.0 then. Wes, would you say it the the best TS club in town now days? I've never been to MJ's and often wonder if it is any good. Also, I've never been to Hamburger Mary's and wonder the same. I'll try and get out of the house tonight.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will top Cobra circa 2008/2009. It was crowded, stars routinely frequented it, and it had a major edge. Edge as in you might get shanked by trola with sharpee eyebrows.

That being said, today's Cobra is most definitely the best club around. It draws a good crowd, Aubrey is amazing, and it's not out deep in the boonies of the Valley or Long Beach. Also, I feel like it's the only club the major stars will go to. Perhaps I've been to the others too infrequently, but it's my opinion. I've recently seen Danika Dreamsz, Yasmin Lee, Honey Foxxx, Eva Lin, Chanel Couture, and the incomparable Christian to name a few. MJ's is ok, and is basically a smaller version of Cobra's crowd/vibe. Oxwood and Hamburger Mary's are just disappointing in my opinion. Too many lurker dudes and too many CD's.

Another thread was bemoaning the death of the TS club. It's not dead, not by a long shot, but it has lost its glory. It needs to change. The old paradigm was this: the clubs were mostly meat markets for working girls, and it also happened to be one of the sure bets for guys who liked tgirls to meet the girls (working and non) and vice versa. Producers came to scope talent, and the talent came to be seen. Craigslist, backpage, etc. have cut deep into the meat market aspect. Dating sites and facebook etc. have provided even safer avenues for men and tgirls (and everything in between) to meet each other. While I love Aubrey's show the best, the old paradigm of meeting space with the backdrop of a drag/ts review lip syncing Donna Summer is old hat. It needs a revamp. There is, as anyone with eyes on this forum would know, a burgeoning queer culture out there who would love a place to play, but don't want to go to a club filled with lurking chaser trolls and working girls. Something's gotta give. Ideas welcome. I'll be sipping my Tecate at Cobra tonight. Say hello.

Gonna repost this in other relevant threads.

Cobra is the last club that is almost exclusively TS (as opposed to DQ/TV/CD), and in my opinion, the non-TS people are the coolest there. There's less of a chaser vibe than there used to be and that there is at virtually every other club in the city. It has been slow though. More people really should check it out.

Cool, thanks Wes. I agree with what you said about the Oxwood. It has been 5 or 6 years since I was there. The four or five times I went, were not enjoyable at all. Very small space with what seemed like nothing but "girls" that looked like Fred Mertz in drag. No thanks.

These kids want to join the party. Can someone please invite them?

[will_able]

I'm in for tonight.
I think it'd be cool if the younger transkids/traps came out.
Someone should reach out to their community.
I have no idea where they hang. I go to tons of clubs and underground parties but have never really see any, other than at Club Called Rhonda.
Did they frequent Aubrey's party when it was at Rage?

This thread has markedly little to do with GI Joes... I has disappoint.
