Saturday night I went clubbing.

The night sky was a black sheet, and the full moon was stuck in it like a white thumb tack. I stopped at the first liquor license, parched from the arduous eight block walk. Club Dedo used to be goth, but now it's only gothesque, a kinder, gentler kind of goth. Five patrons stood on the sidewalk smoking as I walked up. The dress code was monochromatic black. I shook hands with the ones I knew, and slipped inside the nearly empty bar. All the clientèle was on smoke break.

I ordered a shot and a glass of water, and talked to Delia.

I got my last degree, she said. Now I'm a Sumerian priestess.

Apparently there are multiple enclaves of people practicing an ancient religion in El Paso. But that's a whole other story.

Loco was the only other customer inside when I got there. He's big and blocky, goateed, with a shaved head. I met him when he used to front a hardcore band in fishnet stockings. He and I caught up and swapped shouts, and pretty soon the place filled up with mohawks and extra eyeliner. In the dance floor next room strobes flashed like gunshots.

As I left Loco gave me his number.

Don't call me if everything's all right, he said. Call me when you need me.

I walked downtown. Traffic was light, and I didn't wait for the signals.

By the time I got to Soho I had to pee. I bolted through the door and made a beeline for the tatsefully appointed bathroom.

When I got to the bar the deejay was pumping out Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus. It was the last song that I'd recognize that night.

Surveying the bar I spotted a hot chick by the door.

Are you the door guy? I asked her.

I'm the bouncer.

I took her picture, and showed it to her from the back of my camera.

You look like a lion, I said.

I'm a tiger.

And I bet she is.

From Soho I intended to hit the Union district, but music from the Arts Plaza pulled me in. The patio around the new bar on the ground floor of the theater annex was peopled, but not exactly full. I walked around the front and between the two guys working the door.

Am I okay? I asked them.

You're fine, sir. Go ahead.

I wasn't sure my wardrobe was appropriate for El Paso's club scene. I wore blue jeans and bowling shoes, my best western shirt and black velour blazer. I thought I looked great, but there's no accounting for taste. As it turned out, my outfit was adequate for every place I went, and appropriate for every place except Dedo, which endorses black on black.

The club at the Plaza Theater is nice, fancy, and expensive. One ounce of premium tequila, served in a heavy clip joint shot glass engineered to fool the customer into thinking the drink is bigger than it is, cost eight bucks. I drank the shot and dropped a dollar tip and left.

At the door, I noticed another line under the marquee.

Is there a movie showing?

No, the door guy told me. That's the line to get to the upstairs bar.

I stood in line for the elevator for a couple of minutes before I decided I had bigger fish to fry.

On the other side of the civic center, the sidewalks had traffic before I got to the bridge. The alley percolated like a bee hive with circulating humanity.

Chuck sat on his pedicab in front of 1914.

You want a ride, Rich?

I'm going to Republic.

Get on.

We willowed through the throng, heavy on the handlebar bell. I passed the line and went to the VIP entrance and gave the bouncer the secret handshake.

Republic is, apparently, the hottest club on the planet. I should have worn baby oil to negotiate the crowd in front of the bar. Girls in bikinis syncopated on risers at both ends of the room. At floor level motion was apparent, but I couldn't really see anybody moving. It was like worms in a can.

I fell into the flow and crossed the room, and then climbed a step and crossed back over to the relative quiet of a less densely populated corner.

Passing through, I saw Chuck deBroder at a table. He said it's gonna rain.

By that time I'd had enough. Tequila. Water. Sensory overload. I vibrated through the crowd one more time and left through the gate I came in.

Note to all the bartenders: Don't dip my glass in salt before you serve me my premium tequila. Give it to me naked, as they say

In all, I'd say the state of the local night club industry is healthy, or at least the options for consumers. At least it was last Saturday.

I have mastered the Art of Choding. It's a fine art.

I can go out maybe three four times a week and not talk to any girls. I shall let you in on my secrets. How to avoid girls and yet maintain a social presence.

Basic Steps To Choding:

Step 1.Head straight to the bar + buy a drink

Step 2. Buy another drink! Two drinks is socially acceptable. More than two drinks in succession is excessive. You're here to NOT approach girls after all.. not to get drunk!

Step 3. Move away from the bar and find a place to stand. A wall near the dance floor is optimal. You want somewhere near the action to make it look like you are actively involved in the night whilst not actually participating. Perfect. A secluded seat in a dark corner won't do. Again, you're purpose here is to look active whilst not doing anything.

Step 4. If you're with a buddy or two its best not to talk too much or do anything fun looking that might attract attention to yourself. Stand close together (i.e. chode crystallise) and keep conversation and interactions minimal. Holding your drink up to your chest with one hand in the pocket is optional. Personally I find it doesn't really affect my choding experience.

Step 5. Stare out into the room and play 'spot the hot girl' or my other favourite 'I wish I was having fun like them'. 'Hate on other guys having fun' is another game to play whilst looking around the room.

Step 6. Go to the toilet. Much time can be spent in the toilet. Other than relieving yourself, you can style your hair, check your shirt. Make sure your hands are well and truly dry after washing them. And course you can discuss the current economic climate or day to day politics with the toilet attendant. Another great reason to go to the toilet is you can return back to the bar after ward and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3.

Step 7. Bonus for smokers: Go outside and smoke! You can stand on your own here and away from any large groups that might draw you in. Have a serious or deep thought look on your face. No one will bother you. It's a great way to pass the night before its time to go home. Non smokers with smoker friends can join them especially if it means not being left in the club alone.

Extra Advice:
During any of the steps above – You can do the tried and tested move of pulling out your phone and looking at it like you just received a text message. Great move. Sure, it doesn't take up much time but it subtly adds to the air of looking socially involved whilst not actually doing anything.

Avoiding eye contact at all times.
Important if you accidentally make eye contact with a girl.. break immediately! Look up or down, doesn't matter where but look as if something interesting has caught your attention in the light fixture or on the wall. Don't look back in the girls direction for a good 5minutes.

Happy Choding!!

As college students get older, it gets easier to get into college parties. Experience is the key, if you like to party find other people who like to party as well, and you stay in the loop. Good looking freshman girls usually know where all the parties are, because upper classmen guys love to tell them where the part is.

HOW TO GET INTO A COLLEGE PARTY

Get Involved at College

Being involved in things at school, will help you meet people and find out what college parties people are going to. Be friendly to everyone, because you never know who you will run into. If fraternities and sororities are big at your school, join one. If thats not your thing join a club or organization. Do something to get out there and meet people. The more people you know the better your college experience will be (plus it could help you find a job after you graduate).

Don't Roll up to a college party deep with dudes

If you are a large group of guys with few or no girls, chances in you wont get in, especially later in the night. Break up into smaller groups, and guys should try to always roll to parties with girls anyway. As it gets later in the semester college students should have a good feel of where the like to go, and where they know they can get in.

DON'T MAKE THESE COLLEGE PARTY MISTAKES

Don't complain about paying $5 to drink all night

If you go to a school where you have to pay to drink, don't complain about paying $5 to drink all night. We understand its a dark basement with a keg of "natty" lite, but suck it up its college, when you go to the bars you will drop $5 within the first half hour (unless your good at finding cheap bars)

Don't bring your jacket to a college party

Unless there is a blizzard, leave the jacket at home, carrying it is a pain, and so is trying to find it in a locked room later on that night. Tip: pre-game a lot before you go out and you will have your "beer jacket" on (the alcohol will keep you warm).

Don't argue or fight with the people running the party

It does not matter how right or wrong you are, its their party they make the final decision of weather or not you are getting in. Chances are they have a lot of friends inside who are all liquored up and just itching to get into a fight. Don't tell them you know someone if you dont, this will just piss them off even more.

OTHER COLLEGE PARTY TIPS

Watch what shoes you wear

If your college has parties in dirty basements, choose your footware accordingly. "Beer sludge" can ruin a pair of shoes in one night. It's usually a good idea to designate a few pair of shoes as "basement party shoes" to be sure you don't ruin good ones. If you decide to wear sandals be prepared to have your feet look like you're a homeless person.

Pre-game with your friends before you go out

Its always more fun to go out with at least a little buzz on. Get together with your friends at least a half hour before you head out to the party, so you can get your drink on. Power hour is a big favorite, but make sure you use beer, not liquor or else you won't make it out.

Timişoara - Clubul No Name a fost, sâmbătă seara, gazda unui fashion – party cu adevărat glamour. Manechinele de la agenţia Select Models au furat privirile asistenţei şi au defilat cu eleganţă în faţa zecilor de spectatori puşi pe distracţie.

De această dată, nu numai băieţii din public au putut să-şi clătească ochii cu frumoasele manechine – fetele au fost la rândul lor privilegiate, deoarece pe „catwalk” au urcat şi câţiva băieţi deosebit de arătoşi. S-a început cu o prezentare de lenjerie intimă destul de „cuminte”, destinată femeilor, din care nu au lipsit costumul marinăresc sau body-ul strâmt şi sexy. A urmat o colecţie pentru bărbaţi, stilul casual-urban, unde blugii şi puloverele „de toată ziua” au fost cap de afiş. Mai apoi, fetele au prezentat publicului ultimele trenduri în materie de poşete şi gentuţe, iar la final pe podium s-a întors lenjeria intimă, de această dată mult mai provocatoare – desuuri transparente şi deux-piece-uri perfecte pentru o noapte fierbinte de Sfântul Valentin.

Despre eveniment:

Reteta unei petreceri reusite: se ia o armata de fete frumoase, se pun la cale cateva concursuri, se ofera cateva cockteiluri gratuite din partea casei sau in urma unor concursuri, se ia un bazin cu ciocolata unde se introduc doua fete. Noaptea de joi organizata de Clubmanagement la Heaven Studio a programat de aceasta data Axe Chocolate Party.

Curajosii au fost invitati sa atraga cat mai multe fete in zona Dark Temptation inscriindu-se in competitia celor mai irezistibili cuceritori.

La final s-a ales si un castigator care reprezinta orasul nostru in competitia nationala in care sponsorul pune la bataie pentru acesta si inca trei prieteni un weekend la Amsterdam impreuna cu armata lui Choco Man.

Ei bine, momentul cel mai gustat al party-ului a fost acela in care doua fete s-au luptat intr-un bazin de ciocolata. La inceput mai timid, apoi mai impresionant. Castigatorul a fost invitat si el sa se arunce in bazin.

Dupa ce si-a scos mobilul din buzunar, fara a sovai prea mult s-a aruncat spre deliciul celor prezenti. Heaven Studio a fost arhiplin pentru aceasta petrecere.

„Seria de petreceri sub acest generic continua in principalele orase din tara iar castigatorii vor participa la finala din Bucuresti a evenimentului“, ne/a declarat Raluca Andreescu din partea organizatorilor.
