Things Not to Do at The Club

I go out a lot on the weekends. I’m definitely not one of those lame super club kids. You know the type that seem like they would hang out with the Gotti Boys. I go to good places. Anyway, yesterday I was out at this spot in Wicker Park (which is really awesome by the way, not like some of the places on Milwaukee avenue, like one that is next to where Filter use to be. Ahem.), the crowd there is always pretty diverse. You get a good mix of people in there but…there are always those people. The ones who make you drop your jaw like….seriously?!
Those people inspired this post today. I’d like to thank them for giving me some material to write about on this Sunday morning.
Things You Should Definitely Not Do at the Club:
- Guys, why in the world would you think it looks good to put on a long sleeved button down shirt and then a ugly graphic tee OVER that. C’mon. Really? Are you kidding me? It does not look good. Not even a little bit. It’s just as bad as the next one…
- Now I didn’t see this one last night, but I was having a discussion about which is worse. Button down shirt with a tee over or polo with a popped collar with ANOTHER polo with a popped collar on over. That’s a little excessive, completely unnecessary and it looks really bad. They are probably hideous colored too. Big Time Fancy knows what I am talking about. Oh and while I’m at it, don’t wear this or blazers with graphics printed all over it either.
- Don’t bother the dj. He is going to play whatever he wants and if your request doesn’t suck that bad and might fit in with what he is playing at the time, you might get to hear it. Don’t badger them that you need to hear it RIGHT THIS SECOND OR OMG IM GONNA DIE.
- Wear high waisted jeans that go up to your boobs, whine how you want to hear Gimme More until the dj just plays it so you will shut the fuck up because he just might punch you and when he does: you bust out in full on Britney Spears mode clearing the dance floor with your own personal choreographed dance routine. You were ridiculous but you gave everyone are good laugh. I couldn’t even look at you, because it was just THAT bad. You know you were thinking in your head, ‘This was how Britney’s VMA performance was suppose to look!!’.
P.S. American Gangster was really really good! I definitely recommend it. I found out a lots of things that I had no idea happened. It was great.

The bugging the DJ thing always gets me. I mean, I know that people like to request songs, but I’m sure that going over 84 times isn’t going to guarantee it gets played. When I see girls (why is it always girls?!) going over again and again, it always reminds me of the schmuck who pushs the elevator button even when it’s already been pushed. Let it go.
Haha! I was so waiting for you to mention the choreographed dance routine. I love that shit. Bonus points if you can see their lips moving as they count off the beat. You don’t want to look, but yet you can’t stop watching…
haha. hilarious post. and if you were talking about ohm, over by filter, GOOD CALL.
I wouldn’t be able to hang out at any of those places without smacking a dude wearing two polos and a button down.
Oh god, I hate popped colors! Also, that poor unfortunate girl with the choreographed dancing…I cringe inside for those people. That doesn’t stop me from making fun of them though :)
A double polo?! I’ve never seen that one, thank God.
I’m back because I had another thought. You know who I bet is all about double popped collars? Spencer.
Brandy - My boyfriend dj’s so I always get to hear about the ridiculous requests and get to see the badgering first hand! My favorite was a request for “Gangsters Paradise”. Seriously. Is this like 1995?
And Spencer totally looks like one of those popped collared losers!
Lisa - That’s exactly how it was! I would kind of have to turn my back because it was just so ridiculous but I always had to look back.
D - Ohm can definitely be in that category but I was talking about Debonair, haha. Not necessarily popped collars and button downs at Debonair but quite the stuck up we’re-better-than-you-we-worship-NIN-and-Kill Hannah kind of attitude. I’m just not fond of that place!
NPW - Sometimes you definitely feel like that! Luckily the crowd is really diverse so you only get those kind of people in occasionally. I couldn’t stand it if it were like that all the time!
Katie - EVERYONE was laughing at her. She must have been really drunk to have not noticed!
Rachel - Consider yourself lucky! It’s not a pretty sight.
HAHAHAHA. your observations crack me up. I feel the same way when I see people out at parties. like seriously? you are wearing a sequince dress with high heels at a HOUSE PARTY?
I have never gone clubbin. I could go to the eighteen and over clubs, but I am not really interested. I dunno, I feel like it would be more fun once im 21.
Also, i saw Lars and the real girl this weekend, it was super goood! I wanna see american gangster, it looks intense!
Ah hahahahahaha!!! Thank you for linking to this on my comments!
People are so ridiculous you wonder what kind of friends they have that let them out the house looking that way!
I find that no matter what, the DJ at any “hotspot” is going to pay the same 10 songs, just in a different order. My suggestions to the girls trying to get them to play something else? Stop wasting your time in the DJ booth and except your fate. Might as well enjoy Britney’s latest flop.
