I was just reading last years thread on the same subject, where it was made the justification for the high prices of drinks was to basicialy "keep out the riff raff" from the superclubs. This reminded me of when I went to Carnival in Trinidad a few years back where I went to an all day party held by the "Trinidad arts Council" they also wanted to keep out the riff raff so they charged 20 quid entrance fee, but drinks and food were free all day. (obviously the riff raff thing didn't work as I got completely smashed at the arty farty garden party).
If only you could mix the two places together.
That beerbelly thing looks awsome, No one pulls in a club anyway so being a fat C++T is not going to hinder your evening.
