cyranoNow watching the Don Quixote episode of Cupid. Very fun. (Possibly my favorite so far.) Thanks, Ebbie.
So a further commentary on last night's entry.
In general, I find clubbing or going to bars a very isolating experience, rather than a social expedition.
I can't hear a thing, because the music is deafening and it takes very little incidental noise before I can't understand conversation anyhow. It's dark, and what light there is is red or blue so I can't see anybody I'm with, can't read their facial expressions or read their lips to help me with missed words. At least in California the cigarette smoke is less of an issue. But it's usually far too hot, and I sweat like a pig and I'm too hot to be active. And there are almost always too many people in too small a space. About the only sensory impression I have left is touch, and I don't club with people who want to do that much touching with me. So I go and try to pick out the music from the muddy stereo system that I mentioned last night, and stand by myself in a crowd of people.

Mostly, I think it all comes down to how I just don't want an unbalanced bass assaulting me.
