Had a pretty good night last night at Synthetic Culture, despite not really being motivated to go out. Vix, Klif, Sally and Dekki were there; we were expecting Steve + Maria to turn up too but I don't think they did, unless we couldn't find them!

The music wasn't too bad, so Rob and I were able to have a bit of a bounce on the dancefloor; only deciding to leave when the choice of hard house and techno on the middle floor and a longish stint of trad-goth on the top floor gave us a lack of motivation to get back on the dancefloor. I wouldn't have a problem with dancing to the techno on the middle floor, if only they played something a tad accessible in between to get me back on the dancefloor in the first place, then I'd dance to about anything!
Not sure why people complain about there being no trad-goth played though - considering the topfloor is the "Electro Lounge" the majority of music I heard there was guitar based tradgoth! - I guess its a case of being on the right floor at the right time!!

My main problem with SynCult though, is the people - it seems to attract a lot of arrogant poseurs these days. There's nothing wrong in a club where people make an effort to dress up, I love doing that, its the arrogant attitude of those who are so full of themselves that I have a problem with. Part of the reason why I was ready to leave by 3am was there was only so much of being pushed out of the way, crowds of people blocking the stairways and not letting anyone through, crowds of people edging you out of the way on the dancefloor just so they could stand and chat, that I could take.
Rob and I agreed that we have probably been spoiled by going to K17 in Berlin, where the vibe was so much friendlier with none of the pretentiousness and cliqueyness that you get in clubs here.

We were very naughty today and decided that the only post-club tonic was to go to the cafe down the road for a full english breakfast. That was so lovely after a week of salads!!
