The Loop

My thoughts about the Loop are very, very vacillating.

The first time I went there, the Loop was pretty much empty. There were a few people up at VIP and less than 20 people downstairs in general access. What put me of the Loop the first time I went there actually had nothing to do with the Loop at all. It was more of the persona of the people there. There was a limping girl who had a gash on her shin, bleeding blood, into her heels. Literally, her foot was probably bathed in a marsh pit of blood.  She just carried on like her leg wasn’t in pain. Now her I could ignore. What I couldn’t ignore, was the guy who was trying to climb his way into VIP using a framework of lights. Or the random guy that pulled down his pants to show us how special his buttocks were. But, to be honest, those guys didn’t bother me either. What bothered me were the three international creeps who kept smiling and staring at us. I got an eerie feel of “serial killer” from those guys. Simply put, my first visit to the Loop was short-lived.

My second experience of the Loop was a Groove Afrika event. It was the complete opposite of my previous experience. It was PACKED! PACKED!! There was no space to dance, let alone breathe. People were SWEATING!!!  It was so hot inside, it almost made you forget it was winter outside. Yet again, my problems weren’t with the Loop, it was mostly with the crowd.  Due to the fact that there was hardly any space to dance or catch a breath of fresh air, that night was also short lived.

After that, most of the times I went into the Loop have been in-and-out situations. Do not get me wrong, it’s a lovely place but I just can’t stay in there long enough to have a good time.

The Loop itself is quite an edgy club despite its minimalistic feel. I actually really like the place. They usually play electro, and I really love electro.  The manager is a shrewd businessman, very likable I may add.

Maybe others have had better experiences. You really don’t have to take my word it. One thing I can be sure of is that I will keep going there till an epic night comes along. Like I said before I really like the place. Just haven’t been impressed yet. Just my opinion…
