I agree for the most part, but I do think that your night is what you make of it. As long as you are with the people you enjoy spending time with, then it does not matter what is going on around you. I think the problem is that when you get older, people are more likely to seperate a bit and do their own things. Sometimes going somewhere low key or local is just easier. Everyone has to try new things - go places that are not the "In" place to go at the moment. When you follow the crowds - you tend to have the same experience anywhere you go. Try different things..............be creative....
