that sucks.
Eh, Im making really good money, there should be decent surf out here on the west coast, and I can hide from the meth-O's,lock my doors, crank my A/C up to max and play my Trick 60 all night after work. Silver lining and all that...
I think theres some TNL'ers out here, but they may be methheads....and go clubbing for all I know....
I hate going to clubs. It's usually way too loud and the lights usually end up disorienting me, I'm shy as hell, and I don't dance. (The first three are probably mostly due to my Asperger's... heh.) As a result, the only time I ever really go is when I'm being a friend and doing the designated driver thing. Even then, while my friends are busy dancing on the floor or getting trashed, I can be found standing by a back wall or at the railing by the dance floor, with a (usually non-alcoholic) drink and wishing the night would end. They're just completely alien environments.
The only time I've had fun in clubs is when friends do something so outrageous when they're smashed that I get to have the pleasure of telling them about it later. Like, for example, when a friend of mine decided one of the bars at Drink Houston was a suitable replacement for a urinal...
If someone good/noteworthy is spinning or performing, friends come across some good rolls, or there's a drink special/theme night to take advantage of and get plowed, I'll generally go. The main reasons to go to a club should be based on the music, otherwise you'll probably hate being there. Personally, I'm getting too old, and prefer to go to lounges where I have a chance at getting a seat.
I might hate DJ culture more than anything else on this Earth.
i don't go to parties baby
cos people tend to freak me out
watch their lips you can work it out
i can hear the words but i still don't know what it's all about
you won't see me down the disco mama
bright lights really hurt my eyes
i'd rather stay and dance with you
to the funky music playing on your stereo
ooh ooh, things don't get no better
better than you and me
ooh ooh, things don't get no better
better than you and me
i don't go to concerts baby
music's always up too loud
cigarettes and alcohol get up my arse
i always lose you in the crowd
you won't see me tribal raving baby
cos i won't ever look that good
i'd rather dance in ugly pants in the comfort of a loungeroom in suburbia
ooh ooh, things don't get no better
better than you and me
ooh ooh, things don't get no better
better than you and me
that's right
ooh ooh, things don't get no better
better than you and me
ooh ooh, things don't get no better
better than you and me
that's right
better than you and me
better than you and me
Yeah, same. I'm going to see Darren Emerson next week, I'm expecting a near-religious experience. I personally enjoy clubs as long as the music's good; those that don't, like the all-too-superior fellow who wrote the article linked to in the OP, seem to just be projecting their insecurity onto the crowd around them. "The reason I'm not having any fun is because there's something wrong with everybody else!" Okay.Quote:

So I totally agree with the buy booze, invite some friends over and get tanked. Unless there is an awesome band, the cover charge, expensive drinks, and parking is not worth it at all.
I think I have anxiety in crowds, but I disable it by talking to everyone. So they are no longer a "crowd" but a group of drunk folks whom I've talked to.
Clubs are expensive, and unless you going there to help a friend get a one night stand, and be their wing man, there is no point.
And even if you love the music, its still shitty.
This bitch is futile. Pick a club with a live band playing music you like, attracting a crowd you're comfortable with, selling drinks at a reasonable price.
