Well kids, I’m still in line. The bouncer is one of your classic I’m-really-polite-for-now-but-will-have-the-police-come-bear-you type.colin horgan
Now I’ve reached a secondary bouncer. Who is less convinced that I’m here to cover this. Which, frankly, is fair. I would be too.colin horgan
But apparently he likes me, so I’m in. Either that, or he pitied me. Probably the latter.colin horgan
This, btw is @muzikclubs. It smells flowery. http://pic.twitter.com/vA4oMqgKcolin horgan
