Nightclub: Full Report

Well I finally got to see the new nightclub last night. We were going to go on Friday but there was a massive crowd and line and seeing as I am not good with either crowds or lines that wouldn't have been a great idea. Plus one of my nemesises (Kylie Mole) was there so I had to make a quick exit for fear that her scary boyfriend was going to bash me up.

But I digress. So I saw the nightclub last night. I very much enjoyed the free grog and food. I was starving so started stalking the girls with the tray around the room. As for the new nightclub itself: I didn't hate it. I fully expected to. Heck I wanted to. But I didn't.

That being said, I didn't love it either. It was very... what's the right word... oh yes. I know: so-so. So I guess it was named appropriately after all.

I do like the room upstairs. I am thinking of hiring it out for my birthday in March as a joke. Seeing as my dad hired the nightclub out for my 21st several years ago (yes sad I know), I think it would be funny. Just for old times sake.

My night however was spoiled by the fact that my back/leg is still sore and I was hobbling around like a cripple. IT'S SO ANNOYING!!

However I don't think that in future I will be paying $10 to get in there. I object to paying cover charges. As my old father says, never pay for anything you can get for free: water, parking and sex. Add nightclubs to that list.

So I guess I'll have to find out who I have to give blowjobs to so I can get in for free when I am off my face and need something to do. Hopefully it isn't Nathan because in that case I think I'll just stay home and watch Law & Order.

Well your night sounded better than mine on Friday.

I didn't like the new club and was only in there for an hour until the free drinks stopped. I'm not sure if the jet lag had anything to do with it.

To make up for the fact that the night club was not finished, they had models dressed up as builders pretending to work on the club...the on amusing part about it was the fact a friend of mine climbed into the "construction site" and asked if she needed a hand.

I have to say me being the youngest in the group felt old!! It was full of 18 yr olds who seemed to love the place. In fact, the son and daughter of someone I was with were in the club!!!

I don't think there is a marketing manager. Or if there is I think it's a monkey or something.

There seems to be no plan or strategy at all. The entire affair has been mismanaged from start to finish.

They also had the room upstairs with the second bar closed off for a private function for part of the night. That was an incredibly stupid thing to do on an opening weekend.

But yes, it was okay. I can still see traces of the old nightclub. The phrase 'polishing a turd' comes to mind. $2 million can't erase the cloud of skank that surrounds the place.

Oh, and the dance floor which is going to be "the largest lit up dance floor in the southern hemisphere" was boarded with wood as the glass for the floor did not arrive in time!!!

There were still builders in there at 8 o clock trying to finish up so they didn't open the club until 9. Not bad when free drinks were from 8-9!!!

Classy place!!

I was just going to add that I felt old too.

Perhaps I am getting too old for nightclub shenanigans. It may be time for me to hang up my push-up bra and start doing middle-aged stuff like dinners and walks and book clubs etc.

I refuse to be one of those sad middle-aged women who hangs around nightclubs trying to pick up young men. As tempting as that sounds!

The upstairs bar is going to be the VIP area.

Can you imagine all the VIPS that want to hang out in the so-so bar. Watch this space. Cremorne will make it to the place to be seen - on the celebrity map.

What the fuck?

Okay that is just too much. Who qualifies as a VIP now? They've banned Pete.

The hole has never been a hotspot for anyone even vaguely resembling a VIP.

I recommend the hole management downgrade their ambitions a little and aim within reach.
