I'm on the phone with a friend of mine in New York and he's complaining that the retro club he just left closed at midnight. Now midnight in New York to me is usually my second hour into the night.
So what are you like? You go out to dress up? Have fun? Hang out?
Do you go out to see the vintage crowd because you think they are the clean cut crowd that likes what you like, or are you out to be on the town dressed well ready to party?
I'll ad more in a sec.
You can't seem to go anywhere that has a dinner and a show that lasts later into the night. The Stork Club, El Morocco.

I know it is an age thing. I remember when I was first married, my wife and would call my folks at 7:00 to see if they wanted to go to dinner, forgetting they usually ate around six.
I used to never go to bed before midnight. Since having kids, that has changed. Early to bed, early to rise, may not make me healthy, wealthy or wise.....but it allows me to have a good relationship with my kids AND have a life.
Besides, staying up late and being burnt out the next day is over rated.

I hate the seventies, i hate justin timberlake, I hate this I hat that, things were better then. To all those who are keeping it positive, thank you.
