Dear Michael,<br /><br />I totally agree, it is weird and sad that such a historical and nicely darkened city like Prague cannot afford to have a real gothic club. There were several attempts to change this situation (either in trying to turn a regular pub towards the gothic scene or plans to open a whole new club) but always with the same result - unfortunately there's not enough Goths around to support and maintain this idea. <br /><br />You're right the Czech scene is not strong and active enough despite our best efforts. It seems that the half of the decade of hard work (and occasional work of the guys before us) is still not enough. Thank you for your kind words, we will try to keep it up and hopefully one day we'll be able to witness opening of something ours. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Prague anyway.<br /><br />Cheers and see you<br /><br />Ezechiel

Making my second trip to Praha 31.10 through 7.11. On my first trip, in 2003, the very first morning at breakfast in the hotel, the background music included a song by Wolfsheim. My traveling companion and I thought that this was a sign of good things to come... but it was not to be. The closest we found was a fun night of metal at Hells Bells. <br /><br />Very sad to see that the scene still hasn't come together into something permanent. Prague is such a darkly beautiful city with such incredible architecture and history (not many of us Americans can say we have seen buildings and gravestones three times the age of our country). It deserves an active Goth scene. Until that can happen, though, keep up the good work promoting it through parties, club nights, and the like.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Michael

Hey! I'm from Panama, Central America, and I am going to study in the Czech Republic next year, starting around september. So, I was thinking about... is the goth subculture marginized like it is in Panama? I mean... do people critizes you, yells nasty stuff, avoid you, or even want to harm you, just because you're goth? In Panama we are gettimg a lot of bad publicity from the media, saying we are a bunch of social misfits worshipping the devil in the graveyards, and because of that, people hates us, even when it is not true, of course..
