Clubbing

I went to my first official night club on Saturday night. Before you wonder what I've done with my entire life to have not experience the smoke, crowds, deafness and sweat - I have been to dance parties and waited outside several nightclubs before deciding after about 30 minutes to go somewhere more comfortable and less difficult to get into.

In any case, we decided to try the relatively short line at Retro. It is an interesting concept - 3 floors with all different music, DJs and styles. The first (ground) floor is the "90s and New Stuff" - the sort of music you can hear on Today FM and Nova 969. We didn't venture much on to this floor but decided to be complete and utter dags and step onto the disco floor in the 70s and 80s. After being paralysed with laughter for about 5 minutes, I loosened up and started dancing and singing to classics like "I will survive" and "Celebrate good times". It was hilarious and heaps of fun. Especially seeing ourselves on the TV monitors around the room and boogeying on the podiums.

We did have a quick look at the NCR floor - hardly anyone there so we had heaps of room but the DJ didn't do very much except change tracks that kinda all sounded the same anyway.

I left with smoky clothes and feeling sweaty but invigorated. An experience I want to repeat sometime soon!
