I went downtown two Friday's ago. It was weird. There were hardly any women or black people out. Perhaps it was too cold.
10-12pm: Stigma - The only place that has any diverting action (besides TV) before the crowd arrives. Still has tattooed girls pole dancing and cheap beer. A representative crowd. Good DJing. I still wonder if they sell drugs out of the bathroom or people stop in because it's known to have clean ones that they let anyone use. Always people coming in and going straight there and then walking out.
12-12:30am: Pine St Upstairs - Still gets the hottest girls, but, the ten to one ratio makes it impossible to get it in. They all look like they are from the same college organization.
12:30-1am: Back Booth - Still sort of 80's night (the play stuff from the 90's - Jump Around and stuff that was only on the radio or MTV and not played in clubs). It's funny watching the cast of Portlandia groove to music that was people with moussed up hair and suits used to groove to. maybe a 90's night would be more appropriate. There was one black guy and the rest of the people were white. They allow smoking and people were smoking all sorts of things in plain view.
1-1:10am: Dive Bar - Trying to figure out the allure. It was packed. DJ sucked. He would scratch a record and nothing would happen. Just pretending to do a live show from his Ipod playlist? They allow smoking.
1:10-2am: BarBQ - Went into the back courtyard which you can also enter in through Eye Spy. Still a great venue. Mostly dudes. Music was good. The video accompaniment was weak.
