[...] Here, everyone enjoyed the ’70s-shag-tastic setting with its low lights, disco decor and the fact that food could be ordered. The club crowd, however, wasn’t all too pretty to look at. Citysearch reviewers called Shag clientele on most nights “the trashiest people.” Eek! A totally different scene from what I had first encountered there months ago during the LA.com party. And that line they told us to come before 10pm to avoid? When I took a peek out front, there was no line. Just the valet guys waiting for suckas to pull up to spend $20 to park.

I’ve found dancing to be generally pretty stupid…which is kind of a curse when you’re blessed with this much soul.

Do you know how to get the bartender to make your whisky and Coke stronger? Tell them to hold the Coke. I’m a single-malt snob myself.

Dancing lost its place in our society as a ceremonial tradition. Now it’s just a way to display one’s sexual prowess. Hence the slutty dancing. There are no shamans anymore. Except for geerard.

RE: slutty dancing…
I again blame Britney for this. Generation Y girls have learned to dress slutty, dance slutty—no, I blame not Britney, but rather a society that tells its youth that the
answers can be found in the MTV video games.
