I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, the crowds (as long as they aren't too big) are intoxicating. On the other hand, I get soooo irritated by the "scene". By the way, I'm glad that you're tuning in for the live show. You should call in this time! :-) <b>distar</b>: DITTO everything that you said. The sweaty people, desperate people, etc. etc. are *very* annoying. <b>cici</b>: Yeah, several years ago, I liked clubs better than bars because clubs were "exciting" and bars were "boring." Now, I prefer bars over clubs because bars are pleasant and clubs are annoying. <b>Mitch</b>: END THAT DROUGHT!!!!!! :-) <b>kyla</b>: No worries. Of the people who read my blog, the vast majority don't "know" me -- we've never met. Same goes for the blogs that I read. I subscribe to an absurd amount of blogs bia Bloglines, but I've only spoken to and/or met three or four people who blog. <b>tim73</b>: You said, <i>"HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES WE THE MEN ARE SHIT; ASSHOLES; TOTAL LOSER?

I'm not interested in the high prices, not finding a place to park/taking unpredictable-somewhat unsavory public transportation late at night, drunk people, and in general...playing "the game." "The game" is a lot like "the bar scene." Everybody hates it, but it's the only thing they know how to do. Personally? I'll pass.
