LCD Soundsystem in Seoul

(Kyle Speaking) Nick Agnew is a good friend of ours who now resides in Seoul and works at a private English learning institution. These private schools are referred to as hagwons. As opposed to the public schools that both Carillo and I teach at, there is a fair number of native English speakers that surround Agnew at his work. Through one of his fellow co-workers, Agnew had heard of a DJ Set that was being played at a local club by two members of LCD Soundsystem. Knowing that LCD throws down, we immediately became interested. With some meager research and just a dash of Soju, we found ourselves on the subway and on our way to the venue know as club mASS in Gangnam, Seoul come Friday night.
On our way over we met a group of young guys from Chicago and a number of other places in that area of the states that were headed in the same direction. Every member of the estranged group had at least 3 years of duty as an English teacher in the far east so they were very helpful in answering our prodding questions about what Korea had to offer. **One of the guys was looking for a drummer in his band, so heads up to Jojo when you get here.

The line was insanely long to get in but luckily Korea has slim to no liquor laws, so outside in line wasn't the worst place to be. Once arriving inside the club things only got better. As a note, if you walk around acting really foreign and not knowing what to do (which kind of happens naturally for us anyways), good things happen in many cases. Agnew and I were in for free and in the VIP right away.
