Stopped in for the first time...

Stopped in for the first time on Friday evening. First of all, I hate valet parking... I just don't like giving up the keys to my car, especially when I like to stash some extra cash in it, but also I usually have my briefcase from work, etc. In this case it might be justified because the parking lot is small, and they have to pack the cars in... but still. I found a spot on the street, and it's a pretty good neighborhood.

$5 cover, and I had to give up my pullover jacket to the doorman... which bothered me too, since I often feel cold in the usual dives I hang out in (which makes me wonder how the girls can stand it). I usually leave my coat in the car so it won't get smokey. Temperature inside was pretty comfortable, however, and not smokey, for that matter.

Headed straight to the men's room, and was annoyed to see a towel jockey. Really lame in a bathroom this small. Two urinals (one very low... what, are they expecting 6 year olds in this place?), one stall and one sink. Naturally no towels in the dispenser so the guy can hand you one. Honestly, what a pathetic way to earn a living.
