Is it only a New England goth thing?

Obviously most of the dear people on my friends list have not had any contact with the goings on in the goth community here in Portland, but I'm going to make this post on my own journal rather than on gothicmaine. I'm glad I made that decision, because as I wrote I realized I was venting.

If anyone has any experience with goth clubs elsewhere, I'd love to get some feedback. Are they all like this?

Non-ranting synopsis:
I think goth clubs would attract more crowds if they didn't have BDSM stuff happening in the corner of the dance floor.

( Goth rantings - possible TMI about BDSM )

why did I never think of this before?

It's so obvious. It's so natural.

Blueberries and beef jerkey go great together.
