Kids these days, with their terrible music

Jul 07, 2006 01:48

Well it's almost 2 AM and I just got home from work. Well not home, my hotel. And the work was getting ushered in past the waiting throngs, through the velvet rope (because we were on The List) into one of the hottest clubs in Miami. I managed to get dolled up fairly well, actually, complete with CFMPs - I'm amazed I remember how to walk in these ( Read more... )

"We open at 11 PM, so come around 11:30, but the club won't really get hopping until about 12:30 - 1 AM."

Man, it is so much harder to keep up with that scene when you're not (a) rich enough that you never have to be anywhere in the morning, or (2) completely hopped up on coke and X.

I remember my dancing days, when we'd hit the Claremont at midnight, and then The Chamber at 1 AM - but we usually only went on Friday or Saturday nights, so we could sleep in the next day.

How these people manage to do this on a Thursday, I have NO idea. (See your "rich enough" point.)

(And damn you, notgruntled - now I have that Stevie Wonder song stuck my head. AAAHHHH!)

notgruntled July 7 2006, 06:30:54 UTC

Catchy, ain't it?

I could try to get a worse song stuck in your head, but it's too late at night and I'm too kind to mention Toni Basil.

Oh, damnit.

Did you see anybody famous at the club extraordinaire?

muse0fire July 7 2006, 19:01:59 UTC

No one I recognized - although again, being old and unhip I probably walked by hip hop bigwigs and had no idea.

Then again, it was a Thursday - do famous people party on Thursdays??

mc_questionmark July 7 2006, 20:40:13 UTC

If I was famous, I'd party on Thursdays, Sundays, and every third Monday.

You were wearing Certified Financial Marketing Professionals? Kinky.

supergoober July 7 2006, 14:01:33 UTC

All the hot chicks are wearing them these days.

I'm not crazy about a lot of today's music. I love my classic rock.

muse0fire July 7 2006, 19:02:33 UTC

Yay! A teenager with taste! :-)

kay_bee17 July 7 2006, 20:38:32 UTC

Yes, I've always been different than most others my age.

Classic Rock kay_bee17 July 11 2006, 02:20:54 UTC

If you like Classic Rock, go to college in Northern Michigan. My gf is from there and the music (and the hairstyles) stopped in 1983. A spin of the dial will get you Lynnard, "Sweaty" Teddy Nugent, Van Halen, and because I heard it last time we were driving through, Ray Parker Jr.

You can really get to thinking you are trapped in a time warp - or as Golden Earring put it "I'm steppin' into the twilight zone..."

Yeah, that would happen a lot working for Emory...

This reminds me to refer you to my favorite blog which you may already have heard of...The author is a bouncer in a club in NYC and he's been doing 3am, after shift posts for about 2 or 3 years and has a book deal now from it.

It wouldn't. I know that. But I'm not 20-something anymore, and I think I want to invest in my personal life more than my professional life.

Thanks for the link - very amusing! Reminds me of the blog of the guy who's a cab driver in NYC. Very entertaining anecdotes.

Oh - and I love his comment about club music - glad I'm not the only one:

Most new hip-hop is utter crap, house music sounds like dried-up shit in a shaken can to me, and anything else clubs play is nothing I'd be listening to at home.
