I don't mind people taking pics in bars and whatnot, but I do mind when they use their flash. Honestly the lighting in here was really really bad, so I had to break down and use my flash but I tried my best to keep it to just a few shots. This was one of them where I just refused to use the flash no matter how many times I had to retake the shot. I hope Lucy doesn't think I'm some kind of stalker for this ^_~
