I'm going to be photographing a nightclub tonight. This is my first time doing something like this.
What should I keep in mind?
I have a 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 and a 30mm f/1.4, which one should I use?
Should I try shooting wide open, high ISO, or should I just use my flash?
Any tips are welcome. Thanks.

Soft flash but use a long shutter speed and rear curtain sync.
Don't put people outside the center of the frame with such wide angles.

Get drunk.
You picked the shittiest and most dead-end work in photography that there is. Besides shooting biometric portraits all day... maybe.
use something in the range of 30-50mm 1.8-1.2
expose for highlights
manual focus if comfortable with it
