...and I realize these things on a Wednesday? Anyhow... Thursday night is College Night @ The Hippodrome so off I went with a few friends. I hadn't been before... wasn't sure of the setup, the crowd. I was surprised. It was absolutely gorgeous... like the great cinemas from the days of silent pictures. Though its colorscheme kinda had a modern taste to it. There were large men with earphones left and right. Straight laced and buff as they could be -- this was what they did. After going through a large domed entranceway the hall opened up to the top of the theater with bars tiered down the middle. All the way at the bottom was the dance floor, with the screen displaying the dancers, filtered and overlayed... back to the entire floor.. I started down the stairs, stopping at the top bar to order myself a 'RedBull.

Down at the floor it was crowded, I thought. Top 40s, some good techno mixed in for when you really want to go crazy... a lot of rap/hiphop... which can be hard to dance to... but it was all-right. My only qualm with the stream of music... was the interuption by the "much hyped" Hot Body Contest. A nice break if you're not wanting to dance, but it dragged on for those that did. I witnessed many a person that was struttin their stuff. I was just amazed at how well it worked. Most women just danced with eachother... and I could see why -- The typical (from my own generalizations and assumptions {and knowing the limitations of such, I proceed} ) "club male" shall simply wurm their way through the crowd and start gyrating against the desired "booty". If the young woman "accepts the gyrating it will result in a much longer gyrating between the two parties and the gyrating could abruptly end... or carry through the evening. If the young woman does not accept the gyration, she will only allow gyration for a short period of time... usually at least 30 secconds. If she does not accept the gyration, the "club male" shall then proceed through the crowd in search of another. -- because if they exposed themselves they would simply invite gyration... they would rather ease into the gyration... wanting to see how the other gyrated alone before proceeding to share in the gyration. So it went for much the night. Did I enjoy my night at the Hippodrome? I enjoyed myself, made some interesting inferences... and have yet more things to ponder. =]
