story: the bar"fight" at the Prop: China, ending

~:~:~:~:~

Well, then there was the time I got into a bar-fight stone-cold sober.

The club-and-bar was Chinese, which meant it was crammed into a place about the size of my bedroom back at home, only a little longer and a little fatter. It was mostly dark, with lights under the tables and along the walls at waist-level, and behind the bar, so you couldn’t see much too well, and everyone’s face was bottom-lit, so we all looked funny – everybody with little triangles of light on their faces except the dancers, who blent into one great roiling strobe-lit mass.

The place was called Propaganda.

I didn’t drink back then, which for a college student was weird. The rest of the Americans kept asking me, “don’t you want something?” “c’mon, I’ll pay for it.” “not even just a coke?” No, not even just a coke – the Prop didn’t have a cover charge, so they scalped on drinks. I wasn’t paying twenty kuai for a coke, not when you could get one for five kuai at the convenience store next-door.
