Girls Night

I’m so Excited! Me and my girlfriends are going out tonight! First we are going to dinner, and then after we are going to the club. We want to go to dinner late, around 10:30 because the club does not usually get going until around midnight.

Some of my friends hate going to clubs because of all the creepy guys there. We girls just want to dance and not be bothered by a bunch of random guys trying to hook up with us. We usually go on ladies night, but our favorite DJ is going to be there tonight, so we are going to see him tonight. We want to get there a little before 11:00.

Around midnight the club is usually so packed you can barely move. Sometimes if you get there to late the club will already be at capacity and you can’t get in. Tonight is Friday so we will have to pay to get in. Usually we come on ladies night when it’s free.
