What do you think of Missoula's new exclusive member's only club "The Loft"?
(public topic in Missoula)

Described as "a new country club, without the golf", an out-of-town entrepreneur has decided to attempt to duplicate his success in Whitefish and convert ex-local landmark Jay's Upstairs into a posh, exclusive member's only club.

I'm afraid, though, that at $175/mo and a $2,500 "initiation" fee, you aren't welcome.

Your thoughts?

Just remember, having money doesn't make you enriched - more likely more shallow.

The LAST thing Missoula needs is increased gentrification

Does the world really need another Vail / Aspen / Malibu?

Those were the people who talked thru Matmos

Real classy bunch, I don't want to hang out with them either; hopefully it will keep them out of the Badlander.

Sometimes I think it's so crappy that there are all these freakin' GOLfers here on my island, messing up the place with their yuppiness and subsequent horrifying fashion and rude building practices. But then I realize that I never have to really see them out at night-- and then to hate on them-- because they're all neatly stashed away in their little clubs. And, you know, they date each other and do all other stuff together (i.e., have me wait on them), so I don't ever really have to come in contact with them except as an IDEA. Then again, they all get together in their little clubs and plan Island Domination, too. But then, most of the county commissioners are in those clubs. Hm.
Either way, you don't have to listen to them talking through a Matmos show if they're holed up listening to bad jazz and pretending to each other like they're worth a lot! There's something totally cool about that.
(Not that Matmos would ever play here, btw.)

Ah yes, a brilliant idea, Missoula certainly has the economic base among the hip 20-40 demo and overwhelming local, elitist mindset for such a club
