Bittersweet at Bitterball 2007

Ok, I will give you five seconds to crack a joke, but only five.

Last Saturday I headed over to the “new” Velvet Room, for Q100’s Bert Show Bitterball; a party for singles.

The reason I went is obvious, I’m single now, and when a friend told me about the thing, I thought, hey why not.

Well, I kinda had forgotten why I don’t do the “club scene” anymore. Sure, the place was packed with 21-35 year olds (mostly) giving quick glances to anyone that brushed past their shoulders, but it was the kind of crowd that kept hollering back to the DJ when, after his laptop crashed (or something) and caused the music to stop, he kept urging everyone to chant “the roof is on fire!”

The music was just what you’d expect from Q100, all the “hits,” and that sort of thing. It cemented my belief that some popular clubs just don’t have soul. (I guess that’s the case with anything “popular”).
