Traxx in DC was major! What a great club. 5th column was good too (we played there) but Traxx DC was legendary in even in NY. (Along with Zanzibar in Jersey and The Catacombs in Philly). I think originally all the Trax clubs were connected but they never made it as gay shopping mall clubs and were sold. I'm not totally sure about this.
I was a DJ there in one of the incarnations. I remember Bruce Willis was the bartender. He was so funny. He was an actor always going on auditions. I NEVER thought he would make it. It just goes to show...
Well, I don't know what it goes to show but I always thought there must be a lesson here somewhere.
A few years later it was taken over by my sister DJ David Depino (Paradise Garage) and The House of Xtravaganza. Danny Krivitt (another DJ legend who's father owned The Ninth Circle) played upstairs. That's when Luxury Lex, Dorian Corey, Avis Pendavis and Mother Angie were there, Minerva Steel was snorting cock in the bathroom, crack was big and that's when it rocked!
