I have never been a fan of big downtown type clubs and my experience here reinforced that. No matter how nice or normal you are outside you always somehow get treated like crap outside before you spend your money: this time it was waiting for an excessive time in the cold when the club was nearly empty with drunk people loudly declaring how str8 they are, and a very incompetent doorman who declared himself the authority on Illinois driver's licenses and thought I was lying about my ID being valid with the 4 year extension sticker on the back; also made me throw my souvenier cup out. 100$ later were were inside, coats checked, and had one weak drink in our hands. Started to relax when more people showed up, had a second stronger triple-overpriced drink, and the dancing started. Also had the best dancers I have seen at similar clubs: one was simply brilliant and I swear he was a ballet dancer---never seen so many creative moves, jumps, and twirls in rapid succession. In the end it was ok after all, but I was upset enough about the ID issue that I printed off the IL drivers sticker policy from the state website and sent it to the management with a suggestion to train their employees to recognize ID's from the the third largest city in the US.
