LA club night scene
Supposedly, I went to a club called The Ivar tonight. Although, looking at the gallery photos online, I really don’t recognize any of those photos relating them to where I was. I guess I’ll have to go back and see if I can find another name of the club I went to.
The reason I went to a club was to support a co-worker/friend who was premiering his CD to everyone at the club. Unfortunately for me, I only saw the second of the two of his videos. But, I enjoyed what I saw. It looked like a very well made video/song and has much potential. The tune was pretty catchy as well.
Because I’m practically a clubber virgin, tonight probably could have been a better experience. First, I was all by myself. I tried to call many people to see if I could find someone to take with me. Well, after an unsuccessful try, I decided to just forget about it and go. I had nothing to lose (except money) by going.
I decided to stay for a couple of hours, enjoyed a drink, and stayed long enough to see a couple of movie stars. First was Mario Van Peebles. He is your typical “going to a club, hitting on a girl, taking my shirt off while dancing, drinking, partying” kind of guy. And he’s in his 40s! The other star, ironically, was Keenan Ivory Wayans. This guy is a cool cat. Very laid back and calm. The ironic part is I’m working on his movie White Chicks at my internship. So, obviously, I decided to greet him and tell him. He thanked me for all the hard work we’re putting into the soundtrack. I called Immortal and left a message on their voice mail so I’m sure I’ll probably hear something by next time I go back.
This is now two clubs in one week that I’ve been to. I am not going to be able to afford this kind of life unless I get a better job soon.
