Bar Hopping (17.08.07)

Ok, I have absolutely no idea why I have been so freaking hyped up all week but I have. By the time Friday came I was ready to just dance the night away! So when Hairy Melon said that he was gona have a biggie with his mates & might be going to CQ I said count me in! Because mum's away so there were home duties to be done, and also because I've developed a new bad habit of snoozing for like a minimum of half an hour every morning hence no time to pack change of clothing...I had to come home first after work to cook and get changed. I also managed to convince Ginger to come out with me so that I wouldn't be the token girl!

Everything took so long... eventually we were all ready, so Ginger, Bec & I headed out into the CT to meet up with Hairy Melon & his mates, Stewie and Jimmy. By the time we got into the CT it was past 10:30pm... the others had just left Lexington :( which was a bit of a shame coz i really wanted to check out that place. But apparently it was really empty and nothing was happening. So we met up at Mumur in Warburton lane. It was a nice little cosy joint that resembled a coffee house with funky hip hop playing. They also had a good selection of cocktails and beers. I got a rum lime & sugar (it was so strong) and just hung around and said hi to people. PowPow also met up with us there with his mate Richard and Goce came too. Although it was a nice joint, nothing much was happening, plus I wasn't really in the mood to just hang around as I was too psyched for some dancing so we left not soon after we finished our drinks.

The next two stops were The Apartment & The Turf Bar. Both places were absolutely SHOCKING!! Let's start off the The Apartment...hm....the music was mega poppy trashing and once again, there wasn't a dancing crowd. We sat down at the sofas for a bit and got drinks... fooled around with my sexy camera and just chatted a bit but it was kinda boring to be honest. Then we suddenly realized that Jimmy and Hairy Melon disappeared...so we were like..."oh what?!" coz we were only there coz they wanted to go.....so after people finished drinks...we went to the Turf Bar which is where they supposedly were. So we decided to go to the Turf Bar to convince people to go to CQ or somewhere else where we can dance and exert some of this energy that is ready to explode! The first thing I thought when i stepped into the Turf Bar was "OMG...this is like Pugg Mahones last Saturday" (if you had read my blog entry about Liz's b-day last Saturday you would know what I'm talking about). It was just like a pub with music that was worse than The Apartment...some people dancing...but it was like pub dancing with yucky old bogans....well....just like Puggs...I don't want to refresh my memory of Puggs by writing about it again...yew! By this time i was pretty disappointed with the night...and was thinking about just going home...coz CQ wasn't going to happen due to a massive line anywayz....Goce left coz he couldn't hack it any more (and I don't blame him). I don't think Ginger & PowPow were too impressed either! So in our last effort to save the night....we decided to give Chaise Lounge a try...as it was only like 2 doors up from where we were.

Jackpot...well not really...but it was free entry and actually happening with a semi decent DJ (surprise surprise...it was electronika) so I went off...and danced like there was no tomorrow...so did Ginger..we were determined to have some fun after all that walking around. I actually had a pretty good time dancing with everyone and just wanted to go on for the whole night. Eventually Ginger had to go coz Ahman was picking her up to go to her place....and PowPow decided to go at the same time with Richard, ditching me behind;( I thought about going too...but then stayed coz I just wanted to dance more so I did, even though it meant that I had to be a token girl. Eventually Hairy Melon & his mates decided that there was no more "talent" for him to checkout and that he wasn't having fun any more...so we left and stood outside trying to decide where to go and what to do.

So one of Hairy Melon's mate suggested we go to the strippers...and initially I was like "WHAT!!!!! are you serious! I've never been to the strippers before!". Then I was like "Hang on...are there male strippers there?" and they were like "Hell No"! So I was like "ooh..there goes my incentive..." But eventually I came around...and was kinda really curious...and I thought, I'm probably gona eventually try it one day in the future...so why not go now that I'm single with a bunch of singletons...it would be fun. So we started walking up towards King st.......so we were walking and walking...then suddenly we walked past a joint...think it was called bar 21 or something....I had no idea where any of these places they mentioned were (coz I'm a newbie), then the boys were like...hang on did we just pass it...blah..blah...it was kinda confusing I'm actually not sure what happened. The next thing I knew we walked back to some place next to bar 21 (which looked like a strip club) where there were some kids hanging around outside...and I sat down next to some boy and started talking to him and asking him what was going on inside the joint...which turned out to be some heavy metal joint...so we were like...um....ok no thanks. So I think by this time Hairy Melon was tired and fed up...so we just all hopped into a taxi and shared a cab home.

Overall it wasn't the night out that I had expected...but at least I did have heaps of fun dancing at Chaise Lounge....and I also learnt that bar hopping is no fun if you are really just in a mood to dance...dance...dance...and dance....and dance............but I'm still glad that I came out and hung out with everyone! Strippers will have to wait till next time (lol) ;P
