Promenade View

So I do enjoy galavanting on the street of New York late in the night. I need no Red Bull, no uppers, no caffeine, no ritalin. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch. You get the point? Good. I just know that if I am going to dance, my brain and my body are in sync and we will be off into the dark hyped and ready to pop loose. So I received another party invitation from Showcase and 7 days 7 nights. I know people I need to broaden my horizons with the the party promotion and I have been considering other places to look and have found other club promoters that I will be using to attend other parties beyond my expertise and knowledge.

But today we will be discussing my experience at the club known as Promenade in NYC. I like that name. Promenade. It recalls to mind the Brooklyn Promenade, even though it is not actually in Brooklyn. It's like naming your daughter Brooklyn and you live in London. Either way it's unique and appeals to the public. I received the invitation from Showcase saying that everyone would be free with one drink minimum before 12. After 12 it would be $20.

It was a Saturday and I am now involved with throwing around a little pig skin during the day (Pigskin=football for those who are confused). Some of the guys were talking about going places and asked if I was doing anything, I got excited and mentioned that I was going to PROMENADE, the guys got excited and like kids who really believe in Santa said, "Promenade is the shhhhh." "We had a great time there." "It was off the chain." All that. If Promenade wanted a fanbase and were recruiting members, these guys would have been the chairpersons for the club. So they wanted to come with me on this night. I have no problem with the company. So two fine gentlemen agreed to accompany me to the fabulous Promenade. I told them that it would be free before 12. I had another friend of mine who decided to accompany me later...

A party is marked by the line. We know this now. We approached Promenade in a timely manner only to wait on the line in the cold for a few moments. The line was begging to move. Once we arrived at the door, the door lady mentioned that it would be $20 for admission! ::Gasp:: I was stunned and embarassed because I sincerely believed that the cost of the party was free. This was not the case. I shelled out the $20 and apologized to my club guests about the suprising surcharge. Now I am expecting with that price that the party will be jumping and have since then learned that I am so cheap. It better be free for me to get into a club. WE ARE STILL IN A RECESSION!!! I'll buy the drinks, I cannot pay the cover for the venue's utility bills. I AM SORRY, NOT GONNA HAPPEN NO MORE.(VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!! LOL)

Also guys what's up with skipping a party because you don't want to see your girl? It's not cool. If you don't want to see your girl just say so. Don't delay or forfeit your game if you want to play. And if you're lying to her because she's wearing you out (even if she got that good stuff...) you should grow some testicles and tell her. I am tired of finding out that guys are punking out on girls because they are afraid to hurt their feelings or whatever else the case is. Stop misleading a girl by stepping correct and tell her how you feel, unless you just want to screw her, which in that case you still need to level that playing field.

Up on entering the club's premises, we found it empty. I ran to the bar to claim my $20 drink. I was so sad that the house liquor was not worth the money and I wanted to cry. But you have to think happy thoughts when you're with company. Good vibrations. There are two floors and a basement in Promenade. On this night the first floor was a tad crowded, however if you wanted to get some "intimate" play in before heading home, the second floor would have been perfect for you. I say this, because my friends and I walked up to the second floor, I noticed that there was no one located at a lounging area where the second dance floor is.

I walked around and wondered if the promotion was to be blamed or is it the people who make the party?(AND I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS TERM B&T at some point because I don't take lightly to it as I have contemplated that this term really isn't necessary to describe a club scene. ) I would like to know if anyone has ever been to a club and notice the police and fire department do a random safety hazard check in a club. If you have, can you share your experience with me please? I was befuddled when I saw that the NYPD and FDNY were at Promenade and when I asked a bouncer what was happening he said it was a random check on the club scene. Who knew? I also found it hilarious that while the bouncer was answering my question that he was holding a club patrons hostage. Girl wanted to leave the club and come back inside and he saying no to her. Somewhat humorous. The girl was drunk though. If I was the bouncer, I would let her leave and not let her back in...Is that wrong?

I got to meet DJ Caoz, Dj Legend and DJ Junior. Dj Junior has good selections but play some of the same songs as the other djs in the club. Perhaps it would be a good idea for djs to check each other's playlist. Just to make sure your bootypopping cowd is not hearing the same thing in a different room. Something looks wrong for the females. Pretty girls dancing, no guys dancing with them. Males look bored. Is it because they are tired of seeing the same things over and over again? Or that they are tired of seeing females dance in a way to get their attention? Or is it that they have "I wish I could love every girl in the world" syndrome, that they are too afraid to pick just one?

It got pretty eventful in the room where DJ Junior was playing and me and my female guest got into dancing some more. I was drunk off the nasty drink and a patron and a Heineken, that I was jumping and dancing and sweating. I wore a wig that night and I did not care if that thing came off. I would've pulled one of those moves swinging the wig around like nobody's business...but I didn't. My male guests lost their love for Promenade that night. I left wondering what was different about their experience with me than the first time they went. Still not sure. So many components to consider...Maybe you can figure it out and let me know. Until you do I'm going to keep dancing. You keep dancing. It's Jodance Life.
