A little let down

I'm not long back from going out and while I had a good night (I'm not usually a night owl) I guess I'm a little disappointed. You see after I got all excited about going to the Ministry Of Sound, when we call Karen about meeting up with her she mentions that she's not really a Ministry Of Sound fan and doesn't really like their music. This comes as a bit of a surprise as a) I always kinda assumed that she'd be in to that type of music, and b) she didn't protest about it when we initially made plans. Instead we arrange to go to On Anon, meet up with her flatmates and then go to Ministry Of Sound later (since they're open so late we could afford to do that). I think "fine, no charge for On Anon then on to MoS whenever." But again when Karen's friends turn up it's all "Why in the world would you want to go there," "I don't like that stuff, it's much better here" which I guess is fine, they can like what they want to, the only thing is now that they won't go anywhere including Karen. So this pretty much screws my MoS plans, even with people saying that they didn't mind going or staying, it was totally my decision. I don't know about anyone else but this made me feel like I'm in a bad situation (one of the other girls agreed with me here, thanks Rachael) because after being told constantly that they didn't want to go and would rather stay here now the decision lays firmly on my shoulders to tear Karen away from her other friends and a place she already likes to, more or less, an unknown place. I decided that we should stay since the music was pretty much what I liked anyway and everyone was already happy plus it would save us all a £15 cover charge. The wierdest thing was that after everyone protesting about the MoS's music, the DJ at On Anon played a set that was pretty much like either of the MoS CD's I've got (2004 Annual and Sessions One, both Australian releases since that seems to make a difference, there's a lot more MoS releases here in the UK). I'm not sure that any of them have actually been to the Ministry Of Sound club and I think on the right night they'd really enjoy themselves. I'll have to do some research and turn them all around on the idea. Can't really do much about the cover charge though

Having said all that, I don't want to lay any guilt trips on anyone (if they read this) because I did like the music. Hopefully I didn't insult anyone by keeping my distance from the dance floor and/or talking a lot. I don't go out all that much and still find it a little tricky to hold conversations in noisy places, well any place really, my chats are usually short but sweet. And as strange as it sounds, I rather listening to dance music than dancing to it (dancing is probably a bit of a stretch anyway, most people/guys just stand and sway or bob or some combination of both. Girls really do the dancing). I'll just ease into the scene and maybe after a few nights out I'll feel more at home on a dancefloor. So any mini review of Ministry Of Sound will have to come later. Rest assured I will be going there, hopefully it will live up to my expectations.
