"The Party Must Goes On"
I hear many people saying how they use to party before they had a child or children, party life is not the same, some just never been into the club scene, and it is to costly.
I am still a party animal, even going through raising a child and being a wife. I slowed down, but the PARTY MUST GO ON! Some people seek satisfaction in going out to clubs to meet people. I can say that is not my goal, but don't get me wrong, you go out to one of your favorite clubs and you will see some hot guys and have your eyes set on him and each time you see him, you are telling your friends "there he is", your heart flutters and your nerves may get the best of you. If you see that he may also look at you as much as you have been checking him out. You almost break out into a sweat or want to faint. Numbers are exchanged and you never know what may happen from their. But far as me, I may look & yes if you are FINE or remotely my type & we end up looking at each other eye to eye. I will not look in your direction for the rest of the night and please do not approach me unless it's business. I will run...there are plenty available women there so please look elsewhere.
Now that I am older, I go to relieve stress, listen to the music, entertain, and have fun with the people I have met throughout the years, I hang out with my family because every moment is especially cherished. But, there is nothing like a good DJ! The DJ makes the party!
I hear many people say how they don't go out anymore to clubs, it's not the same, it cost too much. They are making parties more affordable. They have Supporters Appreciation parties with free give-a-ways, (they just ought to, especially if you been supporting & spending money for years to party) & my favorite; BYOB (Bring your own bottle). Also, you may need to look for clubs that are age appropriate or a total different atmosphere.
May be line dancing may intrigue you. I am a reggae fan and I have traveled to several Caribbean Islands just to go to the hottest clubs. I am a promoter for several DJs, artist, record labels, club owners, and reggae magazines and also been a part of a dance crew. I get many invites from as far as the UK to Canada. So, it is also an incentive because me & my crew or requested to attend parties; it has its perks (free admissions, discounts, VIP service, free bottles & more), We connect with the DJs and hype up the crowd. I hate to see when I enter a party and everyone is just standing around and not partying***PSA*** If you are looking for a man/woman. a relationship or companionship...Please do not expect to find your dream man/woman in a club. Let's just think for a moment; you meet a guy or a girl and exchange numbers & offered a drink. You are not obligated to stay, dance or be stuck with that one person all night. Keep it moving. Also, it is a club...do not think you are the ONLY one this person has met & exchanged numbers with in the same night & if they are a regular..most likely they do this every time so do not become a victim of Club relationships. There are plenty of sites out here to meet someone.
I know many DJs, club owners and artist and have dated some in my younger years. Understand that this comes along with many groupies. So just be aware, but once again; it does have its Perks. It is a very competitive industry so get to know the DJs because like I said, "DJs make the party". I base whether I am going to attend parties, depending on what DJs are featured. It is nothing worst going to a party and the DJ is not that great. Just know I will not return if the DJ sucks!! I will not promote any artist or party DJs that just don't quite got what it takes. I will encourage them to work on their skills.In dance hall, the club scene is totally different. #1~ the party starts late
#2~ the party is not over till the last person leaves (it will be daylight when you leave) #3~ You feel free & can dance or act silly all night (I think the fumes from all the weed also plays a part in the laughs)
#4~ THE BAR NEVER CLOSES
#5~ there is territories ( most regulars like to post up in a certain part of the club)
#6~ know where to stand
(if you cannot take the smoking, choose another area) You have sections; where you have your regulars, your VIP, where you won't catch a contact from all the weed, the freak section, the show-offs, the gangsters & gangstress, the players & playettes, the "I can't dance so I will sit or stand & try to look attractive or my feet hurt. (bring flats WOMEN).
#7~ the bar is bottle service
(depending on what type of party it is). Lastly, I saved this for last for a reason;
#8 You will be lucky if there is anywhere to sit.
So that means...PARTY!!
There are also Reggae Clash where several DJ and some may have several DJs in their crew. The Clash is like a DJ battle. Clash are an annual thing and there are different themes for reggae parties that are annual. The theme may be a song quote or All White party, short short vs. mini skirts. All these themes help to make more money and yes, a FASHION SHOW. Some people get their clothes made for certain parties and especially if their is a Prize for the "Best Dressed". You will see some of the wildest outfits, people dressed like American artist. It's been a couple times I thought I seen Usher.
I enjoy reggae because you feel free. Most people, know & are big fans of Bob Marley. Reggae music is controversial, it has a message and a meaning vs. Hip Hop anything goes! As you get older, you see how music has changed and there is nothing wrong with being into Old Skol music. There are many clubs that have Old Skol nights. I think they are the BEST! To go see people enjoying the music of their generations.
So to ALL my DJs out there, please know your audience, practice makes perfect, the party depends on you. Play music that make people want to get up & dance. Have a large variety of music, know how to mix accordingly, entertain your audience, just don't stand their and play, use the mic and do it because you LOVE to. To my fake promoters, BS record companies, scams & trash ass artist...I am going to say this as nice as possible...PLEASE SIT YO ASS DOWN! You will be exposed if I have to call out names, I will.
I enjoy dancing because it is a work-out..if you don't move it, you will lose it. People have resorted back to house parties, especially in NY. New York will make their basements into a club. Many people are scared of the violence that may occur.**PSA** DO NOT STAY AT THE END, LEAVE THE PARTY BEFORE THE LET OUT, THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO SEE...DO NOT GO TO A CLUB THAT DOES NOT CHECK FOR I.D. OR DOES NOT HAVE HIGHLY TRAINED SECURITY..THERE ARE MANY CLUBS THAT HIRE ACTUAL POLICE OFFICERS OR SECURITY THAT IS EQUIVALENT TO AN OFFICER & IF IT IS A CLUB THAT VIOLENCE DOES OCCUR~~DO NOT GO BACK TO THAT CLUB!! IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, DO NOT TRY TO IMPRESS ANYONE..YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO POP CHAMPAGNE..
I am not a drinker, I drink sociable and IDC (I don't care) if it isn't BYOB...I bring my flask.I live life to the fullest & have SO many memories and I may not go out like I use to because I have a other obligations. But after working hard all week, keeping up with schoolwork, & stressful moments...You need a girls night out! Yup...when you get older other things become less important, but TRUST ME..I still can drop it low, I just bring it back up slow. LOL
PEACE & LOVE****
