You Can Find Me in the Club 9-23-06

The club is like a drug, meaning that you get dimishing returns each time you go back, but you still go back, cause hell what else are you going to do.  Though honestly I am more a happy hour person (more drinks, less people grinding) and definitely a no cover charge guy, (I mean damn, $20 for the right to spend $150 on drinks?  I think not) however when you go to the club a little bit, and I will admit I have been out a few times, you get to see some of the normal rotations.  As followed:

1.  There is a major difference between the weekend club and the weeday club.  I usually hate the weekend club, too many people that don't normally go out are in them streets just getting in the way of the comfortable grind of us 24/7 drunks.  However, what are you really going do? 

2.  The club has a rotation of the same people. 

a. There are the old guys.  These dudes are always just a little too old to be in the house still dressing like they are 25 and trying to get on 24 year old girls.  Worse part about it is that while they are old as hell they are still poor and wack, yet they are in the club usually in a crew because they don't know any of the normal club goers because their normal crew left the house about 10 years previous.

b. Promoters row, the cats that throw all the other parties that collect the same crowd are usually in the house with the people throwing the current party.  They all know each other and are all polite though they usually end up throwing events against each other.

c.  Massive girl crews...  Some kind of way girls are real good at rolling to the club between 5-8 deep.  I don't even know how all them chicks got in a car together but they be making it happen.  Usually they walk in a spot and dance in a circle, to 'Bossy.'

d.  The bottle poppers, the cats that get into Vip, or get the table and just sit around with their bottles of whatever, just chillin, not really kicking it but flossing baby, flossing.

e.  The dudes in the suspect shirts.  There are always a few dudes in mesh shirts or sometype of see through shirt, that just sort of make you wonder which side they are trying to attract right now.

f.  The big girls flashin too much skin, on purpose and not on purpose.  Now I don't have any hate for the thick sisters, but sometimes we need a mirror check before we leave the crib.  I mean the super cleavage I can deal with for the team, more power to y'all, but when the belly is coming out the bottom of the shirt between the skirt, well lets just say its not sexy...

g.  The vulture rapists.  These are the dudes sitting in the corner of the club keeping the hard eye out for the drunk women, so that near the end they can find the drunkest woman who has separated from her friends and swoop in

3.  The damn DJs playing basically the same mix they have been playing since 1998, with a couple of new songs added in, but whatever the new songs are get rotated while the old standards never change...  like ever...I think it was just last month that I finally went to a party without them playing the fat man scoop love like this for the first time in roughly 9 years... 

4.  Inconsistent drinks, depending on your bartender two drinks get you drunk, or two drinks barely get you buzzed.  Half of them bartenders are shitty in black clubs (understandably since most of them don't get tipped worth shit) but damn if the club is jumping it takes like 45 minutes to get a drink...  that is just not sensible.  It's a two way street, I will tip a bartender well, but damn it if I come back to the bar find me, don't make me wait behind the dudes ordering the ultra complicated shirley temple, my drinks are usually real simple, ice and liquor...  everyone is happy.

There is other stuff, one thing I will be addressing next, that sort of keep the spot from ever being too fun, but like I said its a drug, I mean I could stay home I guess, but is that really an option?
