Not my regular Friday venues



After work on Friday i decided i'd drop by La Bodega to say hi to an ole' college mate whom i haven't seen for a decade. All thanks to Facebook we managed to get back in contact.

Recently she created a group [FMADBF] for fun, which enables friends/Singles to get together on a Friday night for drinks and correspond on an active forum. A place for those who aren't afraid to say, YES I AM SINGLE, so what!

So anyway, i went straight after work and wasn't exactly dressed up or looking like date material. Dragged along my colleagues and met up with another mutual ole' college mate. And since i only had to meet up with the boys later for R5's preparty i stayed only for 2 drinks.

But during that short time frame, it was nice to chat to the few randoms.

I then rushed home to change and Goatboi was on his way to pick me up. It was the first time that i even heard of Mystique, let alone be at the club and i'd be honest to say it'll probably be my last.

The management were super strict even to the extent of their absurd anti-cap wearing even INSIDE the club was odd. And when the boys requested whether they had a guestlist to bring in a few friends [since they were in fact playing that night] it was if they had asked for The Forbidden.

So instead of being cramped in the club, we opted to drink elsewhere until their set was on. We tried Sanctury but that was super packed. Then we tried TGIF's and it took ages for our beer to arrive and last call was made.

It was as if the Drink Gods did NOT want us to drink!

We eventually moved on to Laundry which was super packed as well. I'm not sure how the waiter managed to mix up beer with Mojito but when it arrived, we were all so hot and sweaty that we couldn't be arsed and just drank it.

And out of no where, a jug of beer arrived *shrugs*

B.A's set was scheduled at 2am, so we made our way back to the club. I guess all the moving around outside and the strange surroundings made me slightly uncomfortable. Suddenly my mood to drink was dampened. So i asked Supastar whether i could hide up near the console which is where i spent the remaining time.

Blink played really well and the energy from the crowd was great. When the boys came on the crowd was revved up. Plans were that the party would go on til 4am but by 3am one of the bouncers came running up telling to shut down because the cops were outside.

There was no official raid. I guess since the authorities raided a bar in the area and figured they'd try and crash another party.

BoooOoooo to them!
