A night out
Club-its really not so bad after all.
And as always it was a very strange night. I got in alone after my brother wasn't allowed in due to absence of any ID on his person, and if they are going to let someone in without ID, a big black guy like my brother is unfortunately not the ideal candidate.
Inside, most of my friends were wearing funny costumes. Geoff was a power ranger complete with pink headband and armbands and a pink-black tracksuit. His reputation, I can only assume is still in a coma. Meanwhile Luke was Batman but not wearing the full costume- instead his batman shirt reached just above his navel and he was wearing some strange looking shorts. I dont think batman wore shorts-he'd look pretty stupid fighting crime in shorts- but if he did, they would probably have looked like Luke's. There was also a cowboy and a Spiderman with fake biceps. One of them- I forget who because I was quite drunk- had his shorts pulled down while he was oredering drinks, but he carried on waiting for his beer as if nothing had happened. When he got it, he calmly reached down and pulled them up-more than a minute later- as if having his ass hanging out at a club was something that happened to him everyday and he was going to sort it out only in his own time and at his own pace.
And all the usual club things happen- finding myself talking either to complete strangers or people who I usually wouldn't talk to because our relationship doesn't extend beyond 'hi'. I had a ten minute conversation about Hunter.S.Thompson with a guy I'd never talked to before but who I'd seen in my law class and who recognized me.
And I was drunk. I think I first realized this when I found myself dancing very enthusiastically to techno music. If that's not a sign, I dont know what is. I shared a bottle of white lightning with my brother and then had a few more pints when I was in there. People still cant believe I drink white lightning, and everytime I mention it I get the kind of question I've been asked many times- Minega, dont you care about your reputation? The answer is in another post.
All in all a great night out.
