I think the best interval between clubbing trips is around 2 months. More than that and you get out of touch with the songs the DJ spins or where the bathroom is. Less than that leaves you wasted, broke and disillusioned that everything isnt as glamourous as it looks when the lights are still off.
So it was a pretty good absence of around 2 months before yesterday's newsroom bar escapade. Had a blast, thanks to the great jon and ed, my ever reliable clubbing khakis to indulge in alcohol binging, drunken laughter, r&b grooving, and ladykilling. (the latter involving good clean fun, mind you.. we are decent gentlemen)
But there are just some things which I cant help complaining about.
Pet peeve #1 was the underaged crowd, especially the sight of guys trying to gain entry with someone else's driving licence and holding up the queue. And the girls you're too afraid to talk to because their mums and dads might be waiting for them outside.
Pet peeve #2 was the worst DJ I've ever seen. You know how its irritating when DJs talk in the midst of songs? Well, this one didnt just talk, he screamed stuff like "Everybody put your hands in the air!!" or the classic: "Everybody make some NOOIIISSEEE!!" That aside, he SANG along to the songs, and even stopped the party halfway to play some dumb game where he auctioned off french kisses from unsuspecting girls in the crowd! Ugh. DJs should just do what they do best: Spin.
Pet peeve #3 connects with #1, when a fight between two guys (who were probably underaged) erupted on the dance floor, undoubtedly over some underaged girl. (Because guys only fight over two things: money and girls.) The lights turned on, the music stopped, and everyone was treated with the drama of bouncers tearing apart 2 wild-eyed, finger gesturing, testosterone-filled guys. Forgive the condescending tone, but ugh.. how childish! Who the heck would pay 20 bucks to get punched, booed by the crowd, dragged out and (hopefully) arrested?
Ah, there's nothing more telling about human nature than a good clubbing trip.
