“No” I say….  “I hate pumphouse!” I say…
It was Saturday night and my friends really wanted to go here. i didn’t. I couldn’t ditch them.. sigh – I wonder if it’s better now… here we go!

Static @ Pumphouse Review
Assessment Time: 12:15 – 2am
Dress Code: Casual ok. Everybody here dresses up in their dancing rnb/hip hop gear. Baggy pants, MJ jackets, and hats are the norm.
Cover Charge: $25. Discount on guestlist before 11pm I think.
Music: RNB and hip-hop. When I mention hip-hop, I mean lots of rapping, and lots of rnb songs which you can dance your heart to. It was good tonight.
Atmosphere: Average. The place wasn’t packed nor was it empty… in essence it was a bit disappointing as there were people on the floor, but upstairs there were only about 15 people, looking down. you could easily find a place to sit down here.

Inside: 2 square podiums for the dancers, and wannabe dancers, dancefloor to hold a good 100 or so people. Upstairs is the DJ area and another small dance area, but nobody really goes up there.

Entertainment: Female podium dancers. Good stuff.

Podium dancers, and a MJ fan with his red jacket

Bar: No shots after midnight. Booyah. This was a huge dealbreaker for my friends tonight. We wanted a place to have shots all night!

Timeline
Again, everybody is a great dancer.
I like places where everyone tries to dance, but can’t. However at pumphouse, I feel like I have to have had to be part of the top 100 of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ in order to be noticed here. So instead of trying to be a good dancer I try to be the total opposite – an idiotic dancer. So i pulled out my my fail-safe starjumps.
Dancer stalker tries to cut my grass – dance style.
Through my awesome starjumping, I soon have two girls dancing up on stage with me for a dance. Suddenly another dancing asian guy comes up and tries to take the girls away from me! hmph! What’s with that? I walk on to dance with my friends. But you know what he does – he follows me an danced with my girlfriends! UGH! not on..  So I ended up grinding with a black chick. Things are heating up when suddenly, he grabs her hands and tries to take her away for a dance! Like WTF NOT COOL DUDE!! Stop fucking following me!! Especially not now – I am griding. I am in the middle of dry humping this girl and you are trying to ruin it! Not cool!! I told him “no” but he insisted for a dance with her. My god. Eventually he gives up and his first ever words to me were “you can have her”. Oh no shit I can haver her.

The bored DJ girlfriend
I went upstairs and talked to the DJ’s girlfriend. She was here supporting the DJ as his girlfriend. She looked totally bored. Maybe the DJ didn’t let her dance? Who knows.

Later as I was downstairs dancing – I looked up and saw her with her DJ boyfriend, and she still looked bored. I found that funny.

Coda
I was making out with that black girl, but friends wanted to leave right away. So I left.

Recommendation
I would still not recommend to come here… the music is great, but the atmosphere just isn’t there yet. Not compared to the only other options for the local asian RNB clubber.
