prefer sitting in pub watching rugby or boxing, but get dragged to clubs every now and again, cant really tell if i like it or not as iv usually woke up some where that wasn't home with no memory of the night, once woke up in a hedge with parachute pants on, my mate apparently lost me at 9:0 the night before ha
Clubbing and You

Yeah, I know it's some form of nightlife entertainment, but I still think about Blunt Trauma Weaponry when I hear the term "Clubbing".
Because goddamnit, that's what it was first.

I am a bigger fan of pubs. I haven't been to a night club in a while but I really don't like it. I prefer a chill atmosphere with a group of friends. Probably not going anywhere soon though considering I got blitzed last night and now have an imposed curfew for 7 pm.
You sir just made my day! +100 internets to you!SturmDolch said:Feed it to hungry Prime Ministers?Skorpyo said:Wrong club? Well dammit, now what am I going to do with this?
OT: The only time I ever go to clubs, is if a band I like is playing a club show.
CANCER BATS FTW!
Haha this is pretty much what I do to pass the time if I get dragged into these places. No matter how drunk I am, I won't be convinced onto the dance floor - the only exception being if I'm asked to by a good-looking girl ;-)Mad1Cow said:
I'm not one to pre-judge something, and I have on at least a dozen occasions been to a club and tried to enjoy myself, especially during the first year of university. However, the night tended to follow a pattern of the following - have a couple of drinks; wander around and half-heartedly attempt to dance with my friends; contemplate the futility and pointlessness of attempting to dance to music I hate; attempt to leave at the earliest opportunity. Thankfully Mr Blair introduced late licenses and from then on I tended towards staying in the pub until 2 or 3am - better music, and able to talk to people.
That said, I take the point about the quality of clubs and I am fairly certain I would have a much better time in a big rock club or something similar.
I went to a club once in Lloret da Mar, as we were there with my school. It definitely wasn't the bore-fest you describe, people were actually dancing, going crazy. Hell, 2 of my teachers (female French and Economics teachers, both in their 40's) were dancing on the freakin' bar. One crazy, fucked up cocktail of sweating bodies, flashing lights and pumping techno beats.
It was anything but the thing you described and honestly, I couldn't stand it after half an hour. The smoke got to me, the drunk people were disgusting and the noise gave me a splitting headache.

Not to mention that pubs are excellent D&D locations. If you happen to have read The Dresden Files; Mac's pub is exactly the place I'd love to go.darth.pixie said:
I prefer starting a night is bars and having a nice chat, then after a while going to a club when you're already well on your way so you can avoid the prices of drinks. Sure they can be a little messy, unclean and loud but its a great you to de-stress oneself I think. Just breath through your mouth in the bogs...
Hey, me, too! My friends and I's usual pub actually kind of reminds me of it, except in a more punk-rock kind of way. It has a really old feel to it; I think it was actually modeled after a pub in Britain. It's called Filthy McNasty's, and has the best wings in Edmonton. Plus, they have about 10 different kinds of beer on tap, which is also cheap from 3-8.Cowabungaa said:
In fact, one time we were there, some guy came in wearing a trenchcoat and a hat much like the one Dresden wears on the cover (although he doesn't wear one in the books). The guy wasn't as athletic as Dresden, but I still had to double take when I saw him scanning over sheets of paper.
I personally dislike them, just my opinion, but this is a forum and i'll give my reasons:
1) The music isn't really what i enjoy
2) The music is really, really, really LOUD
3) More people than space
4) There is always one person nearby that dances by flailing their arms and legs about, knocking into people or spilling my drink
5) People seem to buy drinks that are brightly coloured
6) Said brightly coloured drinks always get spilt on me when these people walk into me.
7) Said people start on me because they can't look at where they are walking and i'm now modelling the "bright green stain on my new shirt" look
8) I always seem to get offered drugs when i'm having a wee
9) Girls always ask me for drinks, like they think i'm going to buy them any because they are talking to me
10) Half of the guys in clubs seem to want to pick fights over anything, the best reason i've been started on for is for "having shoes that be too smart for dis scene, y'ge'meh?"
11) Girls seem to fight in clubs more than anywhere else, seeing some poor girl covered in blood after she has been hit with heels isn't a pretty sight, and waiting for the blood to be cleaned up takes time
12) It takes decades to get served at the bar
13) Half of the people there seem to be doing drugs
14) Under age people bragging that they got in and that they are drinking
and how cool they are
That is just off the top of my head, but my negative outlook might be because there is nothing good in my town or in the surrounding ones, if i want a great night out clubbing, i have to go beyond my neighboring towns to places that charge loads and then get the bus back at midnight which costs a fair bit too.

Bars and Clubs are not my kinds of places to go. I avoid them as much as possible because they are anathema to my personality. I prefer staying at home either reading, playing games, or spending time with my close friends. That is much better for me. :3
Ahhh, clubbing, good times and good memories.
Although, what I really really fucking hate about pretty much every club that exists is what I refer to as 'the clearing on the rainforest floor'. Blokes have their space, make some room and proceed to dance/display like absolute twats, hoping they'll end up taking some slapper home for the evening. Testosterone causes violence!
There's only one room, in one club that I've ever seen absolutely everyone just totally fucking lose themselves to the music and have an awesome time......Room 2, Fabric, London.
Last time I was there, I entered room 2, was approched by a dealer within 10 seconds, taken my pill, sat down with a bottle of water and then, 15 minutes later, proceeded to go totally mental along with the rest of the room!
Someone wants to get onto the higer areas around the side, they climb over you. You want some space, people actually give it to you. With a system that shakes the other three rooms in the club to bits, and absolutely no hang-ups or serious dress code, it's the most awesome club I've ever been in.......I even spotted packs of chewing gum dotted around various areas. Anyone that's ever done a pill knows that the three most important things when on 'e' are music, water and chewing gum!!

Here's where you went wrong.
1) No turning up to clubs until at least 10:30.
2) Pre-lash, don't you have it in the states? Pre-lash is a British term for drinking before going out ("lash" meaning going out). This is usually box wine, special brew or budget spirits. This is crucial. Christ I make sure I have at least a bottle of wine before I even hit a bar usually.
