Pretty cool spot if you want to spaz out for a while. I'm not big on electornica or house music, but i can appreciate why people are. also awesome when i saw a guy get punched in the face.

Oh dear... these days I'm beginning to think i've outgrown the LES (and I'm 23). Unfortunately, a night at the Annex does nothing to dismiss these feelings. This place might be a little too hipster for…

Hipsters? Really? The ubiquity of this label is, perhaps, starting to dilute it's meaning a bit - whatever that was in the first place. But anyway, I've seen some bad bands here. Good ones, too, but…
