Damn, I'm American and I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you mean you want to dance? I'm not that old am I?

you could have headed for drinks last night with the TTT, I believe it was particularly smokey. That said check out the "calender" linky thingy on top of the web page and come to a TT get-together, we usually go slumming where the bars dont mind us stubbing our ciggis on the floor! Course if you want to burn the dance floor then...look for salsa here!
PS - I am that old if I didnt get that firelane...

Oooh, I got in big trouble for that once at a bar called the Twisted Bavarian. Ooohh, danger Will Robinson.
Just keep an eye on the Meetups thread and you're bound to find something that takes your fancy.
Hi tiannac, and welcome.
I don't read you as the hors d’œuvres, cocktails and winebars allround fashion victim and blank celebrity gazer. You sound like you're looking for rock 'n' roll nights of debauchery and waking up the following afternoon missing apparel and with a mysterious glazy doughnut around your chops... in which case, I may know a man who can help you.
Cheers!
The Evil One.

Erm ... tiannac's profile says she's female.
That reminds me ... has one of those young ladies turned up on your doorstep yet with the missing shoe? I do enjoy a story with a happy ending.
(*makes quick getaway*)

Now that would make things highly salubrious

Nope. The Mafia and I have conferenced and determined that no young ladies existed in the first place, and additionally, I have never owned a bow-tie, and I left the apartment with only one shoe when we started the evening. Our motto is now "Deny everything". I trust you overstand.

Indeed. Some tales are just too beautiful for the real world, and are best consigned forever to the realm of fairy-lore and fantasy. And it is well known that Walpurgisnacht combined with a full moon can distort one's perception of reality.

That reminds me of this an Eddie Izzard show which I only saw for the first time last night...

Cause Shaggy and Scooby are interesting characters. They’re two of the most major characters in American literature. Because, and I mean this sincerely, and I think it’s fantastic, because they are cowards. They are cowardly characters – they believe in cowardice and sandwiches. And, uh… And can you think of any in the whole realms of the English-speaking literature that – that – a – are characters like that? Cowardly characters that you identify with. Cause you identify with them! You’re with them all the way! “Go Shaggy! Go Scooby!� The rest of the guys who drive the van, “Fuck off!� “Scrappy Doo, a Magnum…� Puuuuh. “Thank you, Granddad.� Well remembered.
But Shaggy and Scooby, the only other character – I mean, tell me now if you can think of any character cause I’m – I’m willing to learn, but – somebody mentioned Falstaff, a Shakespearean character – it’s that level of greatness! Falstaff, is a chara – you sort of identify with him but he has a melancholy with him. But Shaggy and Scooby are upbeat all the time, saying, “Whoo, scra – Shaggy, whoo, whooo, whoo, whoo... Shaggy Scooby Sha – rohrohroh!� And you love ‘em! You’re with ‘em! There’s part of us that – Shaggy and Scooby at every stage of the way.
So if you travel around the world, and, you – you know, you know – cause your American foreign policy does give you a difficult time to exist around the world, two tricks: one, say you’re Canadian, that helps. And uh… It is, it works in Europe, it’s very good. And the second is, uh, just say, “Shaggy and Scooby.� And they go “Shaggy and Scooby!� International credit card
