It started in Jersey or how jersey hates left turns and alleys. I hate jersey, it's official. so damn confusing! But I digress. I met up with Miss A in Hackensack/River Edge @ The Party Box, obviously a box full of parties. Then ventured to her apt, dinner, then the city for the big game. Jax vs. NE. I don't follow football, but I had no choice but to follow the game. Unfortunately the Jaguars lost, but they put up a damn good fight. We were watching the game at the Mean Fiddler in Hell's Kitchen. It was infiltrated by skinheads/army/cancer patients (not sure which) Anywho after the game they started to play 80's music and I definitely can't argue with that since I was made in the 80's, but then somehow it digressed into gangsta rap. Irish pub my friend! Met some awesome people, had a Jager bomb for the first time, and watched a football game in it's entirety.
Then Miss A and I headed over to Obivion. Fancy little lounge in the Meat Packing district I think. More free drinks ( i've lost count by now.) Shady restrooms in the basement or as they were called Water Closets. They were playing random campy porn on the TV and more gangsta rap. but cool nonetheless.
Next we were off to Level V (which is five in Roman Numerals, right? but no it's the letter V) Another fancy little lounge this time underground. We met up with her friend David and some other little man. They were very nice. Miss A was talking to the little man and I was talking to David. Now by this time (it's like 4ish in the morning) i was tired, a bit tipsy and my ears were on fire from the music and to top it off David had an accent, plus I wasn't really listening. anywho he offered me the unmentionable (a lil nose candy) Random, what? He's like "you know, sniff sniff, but you can't tell Miss A." Me: "Um ok, no thanks." then he just walked away. But before that he told me last time he was @ Level V he met Derek Jeter (oh no no no how i despise the Yankees.) So needless to say we got off to a rough start. Offering me drugs, talking about Jeter. The latter of the two is the worst!
Moving forward. They were closing. we got kicked out. Then david and little man took us to some other club (i don't even know the name cause we went in the back/side door). said there was an after party, but they didn't know the owners and this place was closing. so we hung out there as long as we could then left. Little man got a cab and went home. David, Miss A, & I went back to the Mean Fiddler to check on her friend ( by now it's 5am) Well the Fiddler was closed her friend no where to be found. We're standing in front of the Fiddler and ( this is the best) David says "you know how to get home right?" to Me. "I'm in the middle of New York City with miss A as my ride, of course i don't how to get home!" he was gonna pawn me off to the city so he could getting a lil sugar. I think not! Miss A told him several times that I was staying with her for the weekend, but he didn't seem to get it. So this cab appears out of nowhere and he storms past miss A and I and gets in the cab. No "nice to meet you" "have a good night" nothing. and he's gone. So I told Miss A about the Unmentionable and she was appalled, so needless to say as far as I know her and david are no longer friends.
We get a cab and head back to 33rd/34th and get on the path back to Jersey. She pays for parking, we get in her car to exit the garage and she can't find the ticket. so we wait (what feels like an eternity 'cause I'm tired and have to pee!) finally the parking guys lets us through and we're on our way home. we stopped at a diner and got some breakfast. (hot chocolate and banana pancakes!) After that we're back to her apt and to sleep we go.
Sunday was lazy, watched another football game. ending up spending the night again cause they had some winter storm advisory. We watched "Hot Fuzz" & "Paris Je T'aime" The Monday met for lunch at this Mediterranean place (also a new experience, I had eggplant for the first time...not really a fan, but the kabobs were awesome) After lunch I was on my way back to Pa. It was a little sketchy getting out of Jersey, but I made it home safe and sound.
It was quite an interesting adventure into Straightdom. But fun nonetheless!! oddly enough I'm ready to go back (to the city...not straightdom!)
Love all over ya!
