Heaven

I went on a Tuesday night, so the crowd was not the greatest. But the Open Mic Show Tunes / Drag Show was tons of fun. Cant wait to go back on a more crowded night and dance.

Ok, positive things first: The venue is big-ish. 3 dance floors. Lots of people, almost packed, people are in a good mood. Negative things? I just don't like the music. They did have a few songs I like, but it totally wasn't my thing. A friend took me there, so I couldn't help it. I guess I won't visit again. Too poppy, teeny, 80s... I wish they at least put some more beats in those tracks.

This place was hot in 88' last time we were in LONDON, I know its not relavent now, but what it does say is this club has staying power. It had a line then to get in, when we did the DJ noticed us and our style of dancing, had us come up to booth overlooking club, we thought that was cool that someone would pick us out to compliment us and want to chat. I remember it as being a pretty good size club. Heading to Europe in April, we would love to check out London Again.

I visited the disco two days after recuperating from the Area Disco encounter. I managed to obtained a couple of handmade British “cigarettes”; those things can be addictive. At the entrance one of the owners came out, and started searching me, like looking for contraband. They started to look at me like I was his playmate for the night. He asked to participate in a strip contest to be held at around 11:00PM. I told her I was flattered, but I was shy and never taken my clothes in front of a crowd much less perform, she was so persistent, and I was either intrigued at the prospect, or somehow becoming sleazy. Whatever, I am on vacation, they will never seem me again, and I can show off the family jewels. I agreed and prepared for two hours. I was in a room with 8 other guys, but these kids, young and attractive, when undressed were pale and not in the best physical shape. Exercise is a trend that has not caught up in Europe for the masses. I went on stage mimicking the lap dancers from the US, and when everything came off I was a bit aroused; got extra points, and the 100 pounds price, and after the show met a lot of new people, and the hunky guy who frisked at the door invited me for a couple of drinks. I did become his playmate of the night; no regrets there.
