If you asked me to jump into traffic or spend an entire night at Axis, I would have to think about it for a second. I would probably ultimately decide to go to Axis because, hey, I mean, walking into traffic would probably kill me, seriously.
But the point is, I'm not a fan. Axis is the Mecca of the snoody Scottsdale attitude and fosters superficiality and homgeneity. Girls look and act the same, guys wear the same cheesy clothes and drive the same gas guzzling SUV's. It represents an entire set of values to me more than I even consider it to be a physical location.
And maybe that is my problem with it. Everything it signifies to me is much worse, I'm sure, than the tangible club could actually ever be.
Either way, you won't catch me there any time soon.
