Normal People Suck

As to be expected Sanctuary was packed for Hallowe'en... but it was pack largely with what appeared to be spillover from their oh-so-average Saturday night crowd. Why the hell do normals insist on screeching and hooting so much? Do they no realize that this is the onomatopoetic reason "yahoos" get their name?

From the 15 minute wait for the coat check while every bar-star apparently negotiated for some kind of special treatment from the ditz who apparently had trouble with tearing claim-stubs and putting coats on hangers (it is amazing how noticeable it is when there isn't someone with more than three brain cells to rub together like Trish or Jenn at the coat check... how do people function from day to day when something as straight-forward as checking coats is a challenge?), to the sweaty, smelly raving nitwit bumping into me moments later in the "line" to get my first drink. I say "line" in quotations, because again, the obnoxious normals, AZNs, and hootchies not only do not seem to understand the concept of personal space, but can't grasp that everybody gets served faster if everyone waits their turn, has their money out and ready when they get to the bar, and gets the fuck out of the way once they have their drinks. The smoke pit was utterly packed and insufferably close.

Sanctuary was not a sanctuary tonight. The decorations were fantastic, the music was of its usual calibre, but it was crawling with the very people I want to be "alternative" from--  and not much fun at all as a result. There are plenty of other places to go if I wanted to hang around with yahoos.

On the other hand, Friday was by far the highlight of the weekend. A little thing like a dress code keeps the vast majority of nitwits out. Friday was, in fact, a great time. The tent in the alley for a smoke pit was wonderful and had the added bonus of letting air pass through the club from the front doors to the alley exit, keeping the dreaded "sweat fog" from forming despite the capacity crowd. People were polite, friendly, the costumes were outstanding, and everything was what I want from a night out.

There is a saying, "God so loved the common man that he made more of him than everyone else." I, however, am an elitist atheist and firmly believe that the only excuse for rudeness is brilliance. Manners were invented to keep idiots from annoying those of us that aren't.
