Clubbing around the holidays

A few years back, I very narrowly avoided a DUI checkpoint on the night before Labor Day and that was only because the door manager warned me about it. That was the best damned $40 I ever spent. The police had established checkpoints at the two most popular routes from the club back to downtown, one of which I was going to take until I was warned. And wouldn't you know it that, at 11:30 pm, the club mysteriously lost power and everyone was filing out around the same time. I was, no surprise, the only one heading back to town using the long route through a business district that was shut down for the night - I'm guessing that the police got quite a haul that night.
Ever since then I have avoided clubbing on any night before Labor Day, Memorial Day, and July 4th, as well as on any weekend leading into those holidays. As much as I hate to miss the last two days before rent is due, there is always the next one.
