Overrated Can Come in Many Forms

This may startle those of you familiar with one of my alter-egos, a certain Electric Circus Iain, but until this past Saturday night (okay, technically Sunday morning) I had never been to the Guvernment.

There are lots of reasons for this, but it mostly to do with the fact that it's not really part of the scene that I inhabit in TO. The idea of going just doesn't come up, I guess. But, with a couple of friends-of-friends in town who really wanted to go dancing, and taking into account their arrival time of about 1:30am, there really aren't that many options out there....

Now, I'll be honest...I was kinda stoked. I was pretty sober, but energized. One of the revelations of my trip to Ibiza was that as long as there's good music and a cool vibe in the place, Electric Circus Iain can be brought out....

Only problem? The Guvernment sucks. Maybe it was an off night, but the music was awful (this coming from someone who admittedly likes dance/house/etc.), and the vibe in the crowd was not that great....people just seemed like they were there to take drugs, not to have fun. Call me old fashioned. Or maybe I've been ruined for every dance club here now that I've experienced the purported best clubs in the world, but still...I like to think that I can still have fun if fun is there to be had.

Either way, we left after like a hour or so...
