I'm a regular at the ClickTonight.com parties and as usual, I'd put on my best frock in anticipation of what is always a busy, late, boozy night packed with well-dressed City types.
The monthly parties started when the website launched in May 2007, and I've not missed a single one. The most recent bash was at Tamarai in Covent Garden, and I arrived to some live music to start things off. As I walked through the entrance, I grabbed a cocktail from a rather hunky man (with a rather impressive set of abs) painted blue from head to toe. There was also a girl dressed only in pink paint. I found out later that the blue guy is on the site as well. I made a note to myself to follow that one up.
A few drinks later, my mates and I were circulating and meeting all the desirables. You can set up groups on the site, and though most people come with the people in their group, we recognised loads of people.
The dancing started early and we manoeuvred our way through the busy floor, heading for the people we knew and the people we'd arranged to meet earlier that week. We were also approached by people who recognised us. The atmosphere was very open and welcoming and everyone chats to everyone else. It's more like a party than a club night.
Despite plans to be tucked up in bed nice and early, there I was, drinking champagne until the bitter end, and faced Friday at work with a banging head. I went straight on to the site in the morning to see the photos from the night before and to find out how everyone else was feeling. All in all, a top night - highly recommended.
Basically, ClickTonight.com is all about meeting people, going out and partying. Members set up individual and group profiles with their friends and upload loads of photos. You can check out other members and their groups and make plans to meet up. There's even an "Out Tonight" section where people post up their plans (or what they'd like to be doing) so other members can get in touch to join them.
ClickTonight.com can also sort out guest lists for you at most of the top nightclubs, and you either pay £25 for a year's membership, or you can get free membership by inviting your mates to the site.
Advance tickets for the parties are £15 each and are available on the site. The next party is at Studio Valbonne (West End) on Thursday 29th November and my group and I have already bought our tickets!
