So I think it's safe to say that anyone who knows me knows I cannot stand clubs. They are overcrowded, too expensive and in general just plain suck. However since everyone in my dorm wanted to go to a club in Zurich I figured hey why not. So we go to this club, which everyone said was suppossed to be one of the best clubs in Zurich, a sure sign it will suck. After some pre-gaming we hit the train and got to the club. At the door there was a line, another sign a club sucks. I hate waiting in line to enter some place with an illogical passion. While in line I tried to see what other bars were around. There were none, I was trapped. So we enter and we get the privilige of paying the cover, which was 30 francs. Pissed off would be an understatment, but hey everyone wants to go in so let's just try to forget about it. then we need a coat check. Go ahead and add another 4 francs to that total. I need a beer so bad to soothe the absolute sheer rage that is brewing inside me right now. I get a beer and guess what, the beer is 10 francs. And it's a Heinekin. I hate Heinekin. So lets add up the total so far. 44 Francs and a total of 1 beer. I wanted someone to bomb that place out of existence. I was thinking maybe I should do it and as my last act alive I would spare planet earth from this miserable wasteland of a club.
To add to this the place is so crowded you can barely move and it is hot as hell. The only good, and that is a relative word here, thing about this place was at least the music was good. None of that europeon electronic mind numbing music. It was all hip hop, R&B, and American pop. I soon found out why as Redman, a rap artist from the US, was in the DJ booth that night. What was also funny is there was a decent amount of people just smoking Marijuana in the club. Like smoking it out in the open and no one seemed to care. It was like it was the normal thing to do. I even see people chiefing up in the local park in front of kids and families.
We leave the club, oh thank god, and head back to Winterthur. The next day people asked me what I thought about the club. They were surprised to hear I hated it. They seemed to love it. I explained that along with not really being a club person, paying 30 francs to get in and 10 francs for a beer cannot nor will it ever be a good club. Their response was well the music was good. My response was if the only reason you liked the club is because they played good music then I will hook up my ipod in my room and charge 20 francs to get in. My music selection can not be beat. Along with that good music shouldn't have to cost 60 francs for 2 beers, being squished while I am in there, and the women in there weren't even hot ( A mortal sin if you are going to charge that amount of entrance fee. There should be a plethora of scantilly clad supermodels packing that place to the ceiling for that entrance price.) We agreed to disagree.
Hopefully I will go to Genevea this weekend, we shall have to see. If I do go I will post as many pics as I can.

clubs do suck. I figured that out by 23, but I'm a fast learner. I'm getting the impression from Jeff that things are expensive in Switzerland. I feel like he's mentioned it once or twice
