Place: BluePrint (nightclub)
Time 12:00a.m – 3:00a.m
Date: Feb 13, 2005
#1 Observation: The nightclub is located near downtown Toledo on Monroe Street just three blocks from mud hens stadium (observation). The blueprint night club is one of Toledo’s most popular hip hop night clubs (generalization). As soon as you walk up to the building you are greeted by huge windows so you can see into the club and see all the party goers (observation). As you walk into the club you are immediately greeted by bouncers checking you for weapons (observation). Inside of the club there is a bar right in the middle of the floor that forms a U so you can have easy access to get your drinks (observation). The very small V.I.P section is very crowed with 5 guys and 24 women (I counted) (observation). The party goers are almost entirely African American (looks to be about 95% or more) (observation).
Hypothesis: 1) everyone that goes to the blue print night club loves hip hop. To test this hypothesis I will have to ask people in the club if they all like hip hop. I asked a total of 10 people and 9 out of the ten said they like hip hop. The one person that said they did not like hip hop said the only reason they were there is because a lot of people goes to the club and they wanted to meet new people.
#2 Observation: As soon as you walk into the club you are greeted by load music and a crowed of people (observation). Everyone’s either dancing or talking to someone (generalization). The scent of the club is a mixture of liquor, sweat, and perfume (observation). You can feel everyone’s body on you because it is so crowded (observation). The club is very hot because of the crowd in the club (observation). There is neon lighting inside of the club giving it a cozy feel (generalization). There is an area in the back of the club that has tables and chairs that you can use if you want to set down for a second but that whole time I was there I did not see an empty chair (generalization). The D.J played hip hop music all night (observation).
Hypothesis: 1) Even though most Americans love there personal space Americans love going to night clubs that are crowded. To test this hypothesis I asked another ten people...
