I have way too many friends who are gay club/gay bar addicts.
Seriously, you know the type. The gay guy who goes to a gay club EVERY damn night. They arrive at happy hour and stay till the damn lights are turning off.
At first, I dismissed their club addiction as being part of their personalities. Everyone likes a party animal, no? And some people like to socialize and drink alot. Nothing wrong with that.
Well, Snowpocalypse 2010 arrived last week. The roads were barely paved. The cars were buried under 30 inches of snow and ice. And visibility was next to none in the flurries that occurred over the snowy days.
Anyone with sense would stay in doors for their sanity and safety.
Not my friends. They were determined to go clubbing. They dug out their cars (Toyota Camry and Honda Civic....) and invited me to go to Cobalt in Washington DC. About 40 minutes in good weather. Probably an hour and half in the crappy, snowy weather we had.
I told them they were insane and I begged them to stay indoors for their own safety. They ignored my pleas and drove to DC to club and get drunk.
I then realized perhaps they had a club addiction. I think it's normal for a young gay man to go clubbing on Thursday or Friday or Saturday night.
But on a MONDAY night...until 2am....when you have work at 5am.....? And every night after that?
In fact, my friends are always at a bar or club every night spending their money away on cocktails and mixed drinks.
What possesses these gay men to club every night of every week?

. I don't miss it, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to do it. We had a spot every night except Mondays. Nothing stopped us, NOTHING.
