all over again

we went to deja vu again last night - the one here in tacoma. it was kara and i and a friend - a woman friend. it was all right, but significantly less enjoyable than when kara and i went in seattle a few weeks ago. there was more of a crowd - it was saturday night - and some of those guys were acting like dicks, throwing fistfulls of dollars into the air. some of the guys were plain creepy, sitting and staring, lengthwise-folded dollar bills jutting from between their teeth. and most of the dancers were boring, actually, doing the same routines over and again. some of them i liked, though, or aspects of some of them i liked, i should say. and they - the dancers - seemed more confrontational than in seattle, so it wasn't really relaxing for any of us. there was a constant threat of a naked or nearly-naked woman suddenly doing a somersault into your lap. i suppose it was disappointing at the end of the day. but it was fun hanging out with our friend - we had dinner in a restaurant beforehand and she got hit on by a guy at the bar - he had a drink sent over - flattering and embarrassing - and, at the club, well, we all seem to like to watch, so it's not as if it was a wasted evening. there were more female patrons there than i had expected - my showing up with 2 women wasn't exactly groundbreaking. the club itself was a disappointment, is all. still, there are others.
