Background:
Me, Brojo and Cindee were looking for a cheap place to get wasted. It was either going to be Maloneys or Pavillion. Since Maloneys was too ‘regular’ for us, we went to the Pav top level.

About The Pavillion
Located on George St, theres two levels to the Pavillion. The lower level has a pokies area, bar and pool tables. Pretty small.

The upper level is half dance floor half tables & chairs, and a pool table or two in a corner. A constant green laser light show is played on the floor with smoke machine. Music played tonight was RnB/Pop.

Entry is free and unrestricted.

Atmosphere
Mixed crowd of all nationalities. Most are there for a cheap drink including us. On entering the top level, the music is pumping. The main seating area to have your drinks is very dark. Perfect for couples who like to canoodle to very loud music. Main emphasis was on people enjoying their cheap drinks.

Rough Timeline
9pm: drinking
Drinking never was so much fun when cheaply done. Nobody is on the dance floor is dead but the music is loud and proud.

10.30ish
We are sloshed. There are a few souls on the floor and we head to the floor and dance. Brojo is hopeless at dancing but is enjoying it.. Cindee is in the same boat but looks to have more clubbing experience than Brojo and is also enjoying. Much fun !

11.30ish
Cindee’s boy picks her up and its me and Brojo. The dance floor now looks crowded but we still have enough room to enjoy. A group of 3 asian girls to my left are dancing as well. There is also an asian 2some of girls to my right. Both groups are definitely checking us out. Suddenly one of the big girls on the left goes up to Brojo and jiggles her stuff in front of him. Brojo is mortified, and I’m laughing.

I beckon Brojo to another area of the dance floor. He wants to stay. He is attached to the 2some. He is doing the “dancing close to the group of girls behind one of them but not talking” kinda move and it sorta looks creepy !

I go away and come back. Brojo informs me that he went right up to one of the girls he was dance-stalking and right up asked for her number. He was obviously 1: rejected, and 2: drunk.

Meanwhile the DJ is playing some great rnb tunes

12.00am- 12.15am:
Still me and Brojo. Suddenly two pretty blondes cut in between us, and dance with us. It wasnt really a dance. They basially had their arms out to the side, and were shaking their chests. Can’t complain.

Suddenly a loud ‘WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY FRIENDS!!!????’ yell comes from nowhere. I turn around and this psycho bitch is yelling at me “WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?!” she repeats, as though I was some deaf rapist. She has two boys with her. I automatically assume she was jealous of her not having a dance buddy. I place my hands on her shoulder and she pushes me back. Whoa.. I never knew it was possible to go out clubbing and have your rags at the same time. The two blondes split from us, and I look at Brojo. He’s laughing at me, and indicates a Hi-5 as though it was nothing. I hi-5 him back and we keep dancing, but eventually leave as we have to catch the train home.

Summary
Great seedy atmosphere. Mixed crowd, generally friendly. Lots of couples and groups. DJ plays the right songs for the general crowd looking for their pop/rnb fix. Unfortunately the dancefloor crowd only peaks for an hour or so before dying down again or girls begin to head home.
