beware particularly judgy bouncer

ive been here 8 years now, and generally have a fun experience in town. but this winter, theres this dude and hes been a fun night out ruinner.

hes older, has a dyed blond pony tail and a white earring.

my first encounter he blocked my friend from getting into bunker. he was a bit sweaty from a fun night but had only had a couple drinks. we moved on and the next bar let us straight in.

my next experience with this dude was at a rave at the London. (who tf puts this bouncer on a rave) anywho. i was there because one of the DJs invited me, id had a huge day at work and was over tired. and im middle aged, so it shows. was enjoying my night with my friends, when tiredness got the better of me and i went and got some food from my car. i was all loose and relaxed from raving (my safe place to stop masking) and he stopped me at the door! just looked at me and said no. worst part of this, was i had only had 1 drink that night. now i was stuck away from my friends. i went straight to another bar to sulk, and was let straight in and sold a drink. in the end i wound up feeling really bummed out and drove home (2 drinks in a whole night)

then recently my work had a party at a local bar and who should be on the door. this dude. normally my work has raging parties that get a bit out of hand. not this time. i noticed the crowd of roughly 150 young fun people dwindle by 11pm. he would do a sweep and looked at me suspiciously (was mutual) and i wound up not wanting to drink at all and i just went home. i just felt put off by this guy.

anyone else have any good stories about this grumpy old blond ponytail white earring bouncer guy? i know im not his only victim!

Young people - where do I meet them?

24M, recently moved to the Nelson Richmond area.

I heard the nightlife isn’t great here - where is the best place to meet people in their early 20s? Are there young adult adults meet ups or clubs ?
Have joined the gym so may have luck there

Test drive routes

Taking a car for a test drive tomorrow and wondering where would be good to take it to give it a good spin. It's a 4WD car from a dealership so I'd like to test it on some gravel or less even roads but can't think of where is good within 20-30mins of Nelson. My current thought is out towards cable bay. Also good spots for 0-100 test. Any ideas?
