attention: bloodsuckers in the meatpacking district

Training has officially ended yesterday and we ended it with a big get together after work at an open air bar in union square. Always fun to watch people get drunk and do stupid things...hehe Anyway, sorry to report that we were the victims of discrimination with regards to entering hot clubs in the city. We went to the meatpacking district with the intention to go to a club famous for celeb spotting. Now, club space, like all places in the city are prime real estate, and the "IT" clubs are equivalent to UES or Central Park West in terms of real estate value. Most of these places operate only via guest lists, and if you are just ordinary people like us, the operators only offer bottle service, meaning you can't just buy overpriced cocktails. They actually make you buy bottles at hyper-inflated prices before they even allow you in. Oh yes, and before you go in, make sure the guy to girl ratio is right. Its tough being a guy in this city, coz girls just get into places so much more easily =p So we had to round up girls who were also trying to get in to get the ratio right. By that time, there were 20 of us and the bouncers wanted us to commit to buying at least 4 bottles before letting us in. So to summarize, while some of us succumbed to the allure of pumping music and hot bodies, I, disgusted by the bloodsucking behavior of the club and an empty wallet decided to take a cab home instead of sharing a bottle of vodka for 500 bucks with my friends. Sheesh...
