I'm bummed out. My favorite two clubs, the only two clubs that I go to dressed, have both announced in the last 2 weeks that they are closing. They are in Madison Wisconsin, the 5 Club and the Inferno.
The Inferno I really enjoyed because on the first Saturday of the month they had Leather and Lace night. I have gone 3 or 4 times a year for the last 4 or 5 years and I always had a good time, danced like crazy, and met some really interesting people, dressed to the max. I'm in my 60s, I dressed fairly conservatively, I couldn't get myself to dress as scantily or sexy as some of the people there. I wore my lace dresses or sometimes leather skirts with lace tops.
5 Club, was Club 5 at first, was the first club I ever went to dressed. It was within 10 miles of my house, a quick drive. They had a big dance floor, music I liked to dance to. They had drag shows frequently and other special events. I had fun there too. I met some good people there too.
Both places were LGBT friendly, the 5 Club was a gay club but they welcomed anyone. The Inferno really didn't care who came or how you were dressed.
Now they both are going to be gone and I'm at a lost as to where I will go and feel as safe and welcome as I did in those two clubs.
There is Plan B in Madison but I think that is for the younger crowd though I know some older people go there.
There is an emptiness in my life now.
Oh well, I will get over it. Maybe I will have to go to Milwaukee or Minneapolis, maybe Chicago. Some place where I can stay over night.
Bummer
