So, where DO old farts like us go on a Friday or Saturday? heehe Grinning_Madly: Since I've gotten back into the loop, all there seems to be is clubs and bars for the very very young 20s set.
What that is? Amateur drinking night.
There are no "30+" clubs left for everybody else -- the places I went when I was still a single are now closed.
Or there are a few places that exist that are dreadfully expensive ($3.00 and up for diet coke!) or way up the road -- not feasible for a "regular" hang out, thanks to gas prices.
The only other thing there seems to be are "singles" dances. A good friend of mine used to swear by these events. They'd charge you $15 to get in and nothing was included, not even a chit for a couple of free drinks.
The women were all alike: all dressed in a basic black dress with spikey heals and even had the same haircut: dark and shoulder length and straight.
Eight years ago, these "singles dances" were horrid. I used to go to them with my friend Nancy to keep her company. The men were tacky, cheap and pretentious -- and the men and the women all wore the same "I've been through the ninth circle of hell and it is divorce" patina.
The women are too desperate. In the ladies' room the conversation consists of lots of whining and complaining about the same topic: how the guys are not hot and that they wish that somebody would ask them to dance...
