Wednesday has no business being the best night of your month, and yet. Most dark-alternative nights in this city land on a weekend, when the floor is padded out with people who wandered in for drink specials and drifted off the moment the DJ played something recorded before they were born. A midweek date filters all of that out. What is left standing in Little Italy is the room that actually knows the words: the ones who recognized Velas Negras from a flyer, who came for Poxsey and stayed through The Fever Vault and Neonstorm, who will tell you unprompted that this whole night was built by the same person behind San Diego's World Goth Day Expo. Doors at seven means you can come straight from work and still be home before you turn into a problem. Bands first, then DJ 7th Stranger, and somewhere in there it stops being a show and becomes a scene. You will know inside ten minutes whether these are your people. They almost always are.
