Drum and Bass is something that I was not all too familiar with in the states but I have become quite fond of it during my stay here in Amsterdam. My friend tells me that Drum and Bass is biggest in London and much better there, but that Amsterdam's scene is pretty awesome as well.

I went to Cheeky Mondays yesterday night and had an amazing time. I am pretty sure it was a bunch of international people and a few Dutch people. The music was pretty awesome and the dance floor, lights and stage were a lot of fun. You have to be willing to try out some new dance moves, though, expecially if you are used to the regular, "bumpin' and grindin.'" It's much more bohemian and free spirited in the club and no one really cares if you can't actually dance but are simply moving to the music instead. I personally like dancing to regular pop music better, but this was definately a nice escape from any other night at a bar dancing. You can smoke weed inside the club and a good amount of people do. The beer is around 2 euros, but cover is 6 euros.

Monday nights in Amsterdam can be pretty lame, but if you go to Cheeky Mondays the scene is hopping and the party doesn't stop until the early am. Be wary, though, of walking home. Two of my friends and I walked back home together and at that time of night cat calls are, very unfortunately, to be expected.
