[nabs-l] phone numbers at night clubs

[Ashley Bramlett]

Aziza,
Yes sighted people trade phones for that.  My brother did that.  At a  club 
I want as less as I can manage so having someone put a number in my phone 
wouldn't bother me.  Another option is for them to write it down and you 
have someone read it to you later.  I don't go to clubs much so this hasn't 
been an issue but that's what I'd do.
