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 think it all depends on the music being played. but the general idea is that it's lit to try and make everyone look more attractive, and supplied with sound loud enough so that you don't have to worry about small talk. an environment with the express purpose of making everything seem better than it really is, and pushing people veryvery close to one another, forcing them to let go of personal space boundaries.

and you're welcome to complain about anything or nothing at all, to me. ill listen, even though i probably won't know exactly what i should say.
