I have a plea for help! I am trying to write a scene set in a club, but aside from some quarter-remembered movie scenes, I have no actual experience with clubs. Oops. I'm looking for the sensory information you'd get in a general club. I don't need a space in particular, just something beyond loud music and bass.

I really want to sit down and have a really, really good long complain, but aside from an uncomfortable and pervasive soreness in my body, I'm not really sure what I want to complain about. I think I'm just unexercised, post-Alertec, craving company and would do best to try and be positive.

Peter proposed that I run a game last night and my first reaction was "Eep! No!", but I find myself reconsidering. I'm making loose plans to do just that in the fall and didn't I just make a post about trying to be more confident in this kind of thing? I'm still concerned about systems though. There aren't any I know backwards and forwards and I haven't any books, though I imagine I could borrow those. We'll see! Maybe I will run a one-shot.

I'll echo the others here. Definitely the smell of cigarettes (and other smokables, depending on the club), definitely the heat. At the same time, if the vibe is good, there can be a feeling of almost tribal community. A large group of people all dancing to the same music kind of thing. Even if they are off in their own world, they're all there together.
