Bye Bye Vauxhall!

I had a wonderful weekend seeing old friends and visiting old haunts. I decided to try out Vauxhall again as I had not been there for years. For those not familiar with London,Vauxhall has become the second gay village of London and has a reputation of hadcore clubbing with venues like Fire and their 24 hour parties.

I decided to go to the historic Royal Vauxhall Tavern (RVT) on Sunday afternoon with their long running S.L.A.G.S. Chillout. This is an afternoon of party with entertainment (usually a drag show). This is always a fun event and their no attitude policy makes the venue a friendly place. I followed this up with a trip to a local sauna - which was more to relax than have sex.

It was a fun afternoon, but I had to admit something just was not right. I just felt I am at a point where I have moved on from all of this. Yes, I feel slightly hung over today and yes, I spent money I do not really have, but I think I am at a point in my life where I am passed this. It felt like an old routine. I am glad I went just so I can confirm that this will probably be my last time hardcore clubbing. I can look back at this blog post and remind myself every time I start wondering what it is like.

Thanks for the memories Vauxhall, but I think my clubbing days are over.
