| - I'm gonna keep it real. I am not a club person. It just isn't in my blood. I rarely see the point in waiting forever on a line, just to pay some ridiculous cover charge, just to be allowed the privilege of spending $13 for a mixed drink, just to pretend like I love crowded ass areas where I can't move from one side of the room to another, without almost spilling said $13 drink. But last Wednesday night, Surrender was pretty much the anti-club. Me and my buddy Rob waited maybe 10-15 minutes. Two guys with no chicks with them, not waiting forever to get in a club? Yup, it happened. I once waited at least three times as long to get into Moon, with just me and two other girls. I know it was a Wednesday. and maybe that's part of the reason. But oh well, the time I waited at Moon, it was a fricken Tuesday.
So after not waiting very long, they check our ID's and low and behold, no cover charge! This place is already growing on me. Then, because it was HIV-awareness night, as long as you were wearing red, you got open bar from 11-12 for Belvedere Vodka drinks. I'm not much of a Vodka drinker, but the price was right. I hooked up the bartender since I didn't have to spend a dime on drinks. He was fast, attentive, and friendly. Again, not something I often experience on my rare club adventures. At first it was kind of a ghost town, but the place started packing in after like 20 minutes or so. The go go dancers were hypnotizing, the place was roomy, and it had an outdoor area with a big ass pool. I mean, what more do you really want? It was a little bit of a sausage-fest, but it got a little better as the night progressed. We even got to see Dave N. a fellow Yelper, he gave us a bit of a tour. I've only met him twice now, but Dave is a pretty cool ass guy, so props to him!!
My only complaint is that I'm not normally a huge drinker, so when I had 6 or 7 Vodka and Coke's in the course of 45 minutes, I really felt it the next morning, and afternoon, and night even. That was my bad though, not Surrender's. Hey, how often do us guys get any kind of open bar?? I took one for the team. I felt it was my responsibility as a man, to get as many free drinks as I could in that hour. I did it on behalf of all the men out there, spending their hard earned cash at the club, like a bunch of schmucks. And I think I did a damn good job so, you're welcome.
