here's the post on my first friday night out here in calgary - 7th Sept 2007.
i needed it. really-really. i've been doing pretty much close to nothing every night. jo says, 'think of it as REHAB.' reeeehabbbb? *val curls up in a corner and shivers. haha. okay, it's not that bad, it's just c'mon... i need a life, a social one anyway. as of today (Sept 13, 2007) i've made approx. 6 friends on campus. SIX-FRICKIN'-SIX.
thanks to danielle for introducing me to her friend, ben, who's coming to UofC for his degree in communications. so ben calls me, 'hey val, do you want to go out tonight?' and i say, 'YES. pleeease.' haha.
we stopped by ben's cousin's friend's place for pre-round drinks and games. after countless rounds of dice and probabilities, we hopped into several cars and headed to AMSTERDAM, a 'club' along 11th avenue (where most clubs are found). we entered with no problems - there i take it all in. the supposed familiarity of djs playing house; pounding music reverberating through the wooden floors; and the lousy sound system on the verge of blowing out. i'm not bothered by how crabbily furnished the club is, because apparently calgary's nightlife will never live up to the world's #1 nightlife spot - singapore's.
one word to describe the music? okay.
one word to describe the crowd? boring.
one word to describe the drinks? shots.
- why shots? because liquer is ONLY sold in shots here. AND they've NEVER heard of MIDORI.
so, one word to describe the club? dead.
then. someone had a BRILLIANT IDEA.
'wanna go to the gay club?'
OH YEAH. hahahahhaha. THAT WAS A DAMN GOOD IDEA BECAUSE WE HAD LOADS OF FUN THERE. people, welcome to TWISTED ELEMENT... where the guys and the few ladies take wild to a new level.
thanks ben.
