Weekend/Vagabonds
Jun. 2nd, 2008 12:33 pmI wasn't in the mood after all for going to a club on Saturday night, tho I really enjoyed seeing the people I like best there.
I'd have been just as happy having a laugh and a catch-up with them standing at a bus-stop tho really. So, tho Vagabonds is a SWELL place, it was just wasted on me on Saturday.
The omens looked bad when m'pal came over to my place all set to party, and was soon struck down by some awful stomach-ache (eeeeeuw, the worst sort). Eventually she just had to admit defeat and return home. THAT's when I shoulda decided to give it a miss too, but for some reason I went anyways. Drove downtown with Al and we parked the Audi yards from the pub, no problem. I got him to come in too for once--he's grandaddy Goff! He was fine, so was I, talking to Pete Aspden and that bona fide head-case Nick Firth around a Good Table with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
enlyll, vampyresheep,
demondaz, Rob, and andyravensable, void501 and his lady and others dotting about nearby.
I just could NOT get into the club aspect of it, is all...did NOT DANCE at ALL (shocking sacriledge! ... they were playing lots of highly danceable stuff). Plus I went into conversation-KLUTZ mode whenever I stopped on way to loo or smoke-zone to do the social bit (eg toindigo_violet 'oh. aren't you in Australia?' Christ.)
Memo-if you have nothing remotely intelligent to say, just nod + smile and move ON FFS!
I suspect I felt a bit awkward, a bit vulnerable...its really best not to be in a strange place in a crowd at these times! Also i felt horrendous-looking--THAT's never gonna work on a Saturday night!
It wasn't ALL bad--amongst others I felt very warmed byerming , um Robert the Herr Flick lookalike, and combatkitten who probably didn't mind the klutz stuff.
