we be clubbin’

this weekend i went to club icon, the club that used to be the edge in palo alto. It has been so long since i have been at any mainstream club type of event, and after this weekend i can definitely remember why i dont go anymore. yeah, i did overall actually have a good time, hung out w/ friends, got to listen to veanne spin a good set but the place itself was just so damn cheesy.

first off, the place had a dress code. of course, as usual, i came there wearing shorts and as soon as i saw the dress code sign, i knew there would be problems. while in line i saw the two guys at the door grumbling to each other, but in the end they decided to let me in… of course they had to throw in the snide remark of “hey guy, next time you come back here, try to wear some pants". uh, yeah, thanks. there wont be a next time. the idea of someone else deciding what they think i should be wearing is just fucking ridiculous. who the hell do they think they are? how shallow can a place to be to decide whether or not people can come in based on what kind of clothes they have on. sheez.

once inside, it becomes fairly obvious that everyone there is probably just as shallow as the people working the door. everyone is dressed to impress and is out on the prowl. people are dancing, but really it looks like they’re going through motions to make themselves look cool. *sigh*. everything just seems like a high school dance.. and they’re even playing the old cheezy hits from those days to make it even more so. so, i didnt talk to anyone there that i didnt know, but i did overhear this great conversation when i was in the restroom… “yo man, wasssssup wit’ your girl???” “yeah, you know, i’m gonna hit that shit, then make her swallow that shit, and then wear her panties on my head! yeahhhhh". wtf?? what is wrong w/ these people? and as i walk out of the restroom, i see him give his girlfriend a big sweet hug. awwww.

anyways, all of it was pretty weak. really confirmed just how whack a lot of these mainstream places are. makes me glad that i never went in that direction…
