Outhouse
"It was pretty bad because the object of slam dancing isn't to hurt people, and that's obviously why they were here," he said.
on an area of the dance floor called the slam pit, consists of dancers banging into each other.
Dan Werner, Topeka freshman,
said, "They think we're beating people up when we dance, so they beat people up."
Unfortunately, Beacom said, this sometimes causes problems.
He said some people go to the Outhouse not to slam dance for enjoyment, but to injure other dancers. He then this happened a couple weeks ago.
Beacom said, however, that the Outhouse was usually a positive place to go for enjoyment.
"There's a feeling of unity," he said. "You feel like you've got a lot of friends. But you don't know them. That's what attracts people more than the music."
Tweed said the Outhouse crowd was not weird, as they were often sought to be.
Tweed said he went to the Outhouse because he felt he belonged there.
A sign at the door states that alcohol is not allowed inside the house, those found with alcohol will be ejected without a refund of the cover charge.
stead, he said, they are insistent and thoughtful people.
Instead, everyone in the building retires to the parking area to drink beer between bands. In fact, some go just to hang out in the parking lot.
"It's fun to watch people look at you and think you're from another planet," he said.
However, he said he enjoyed people's reaction to his appearance.
"Some of them can't afford to go inside." Beacom said.
And beer, cheap beer, is the drink of choice.
"There's a lot of Black Label because it's extremely cheap," he said.
Beacom said that although he and
his friends dressed differently, they weren't trying to relay any message.
He said that he stood for himself and didn't consider himself a member of any social group.
One night last week, a San Francisco band called MDC was the main attraction. MDC stands for Multi Death Corporation, although the name of the band has also been used by Cops and Millions of Dead Children.
"Yesterday I wore a sweater and penny loafers," he said.
Although these people take pride in being different from the majority, Beacon said, most don't mind if you stream another team society go to the Outhouse.
By midnight, the band was playing and the slam dancing got under way. Members of the audience were jumping up and down with amplifiers onto others in the crowd.
The band's message was very political. In addition to "John Wayne was a Nazi," the group sang "Corporate Deathburgers," a song about Ronald McDonald exploiting the man while making billions of dollars.
“Be nice to each other,” the lead singer yelled, to no avail. One dancer had a bleeding scrape on his arm and nothing were torn in the slamming.

Tweed said he enjoyed being different
The band's van broke down in Columbia, Mo., and didn't arrive until 11:30 p.m.
"It adds excitement being pitted against a group," he said.
When the band yelled "Corporate Deathburgers," the crowd responded with "Ronald McDonald."
The song was dedicated, said David Dictor, the lead singer, "to all the politicians you think suck."

Beacom said that bands had been appearing about two times a week and had been pretty good, and that the Outhouse was an important place for punk rockers because it was the only club of its kind in the area.
