An evening on Granville St.


Wow.. What a night.

So I decided early this afternoon that I was going to go out tonight for the first time since I got here. I didn't know where and I didn't know anyone, but I thought I might as well stand alone in a random bar like a loser and drink until I started talking to someone willing to chat about hockey or the weather or whatever..

So 7:45 rolled around, and the cab I ordered beeped outside and took me to Granville St. Downtown (which may very well have more nightclubs than Vegas).
As it turns out, I ran into a unit of Canada's Navy who were on a pub crawl as they came out of a club called The Roxy. So I joined up with them, (they had already been to two places before that) and we ventured off on our epic journey around Granville to booze up.

We made it to five nightclubs/bars in the space of 5 hours (gotta love VIP treatment), one per hour, and had a blast. They're a really fun, friendly bunch of people. The girls were all crazy but in a nice way, and the guys.. well they were too I guess. Of course, everyone had t-shirts on them listing the venues we were going to and at what time, which were torn, cut, and covered with graffitti from markers a few of the girls had found in one of the bar's toilets. (Don't ask..) So I looked a little out of place for a while..

Anyway, the aftermath, now that I'm home at 1:00, is that now my precious Abercrombie singlet is littered with remarks such as: "Why wait? Mas......." in bold red text, and so on... A few of the girls insisted that if I tagged along, I had to have one piece of clothing to sign..
I don't mind. Hey, it's a small price to pay for a great night out!

P.S, that photo was the result of a Google search for: "Club girls".. I didn't actually meet any of those lovely ladies. Just thought I'd put some sort of picture up.. But hey, I'll get the photos off the designated cameraman for the evening (for once it wasn't me!), and post a couple of shots for you all. ;)

8 thoughts are now mine:

Hehehe, 'fly chicks to mac'.. Nice.
Yeah the Roxy looks exactly the same, but now there are a heap more clubs around. Or maybe we just didn't see them all when we were here last.
There are at least ten within a hundred metres of Roxy, and all of them are pretty good. There was a live band at one playing Good Charlotte and Rob Thomas which was cool.

Jesus man... you'd have a kick ass time anywhere! You'd be in Siberia, and somehow find the greatest underground club in the world... and you'd end up friends with everyone in the club!!

Bastard... ;P

Jimzip said...

Reply to e-mails?
Family discussion?
The?

Hahah. Yeah don't worry I can read all this Mimi.
Remember we're 5 hours ahead here, so just because I don't reply right away doesn't mean I don't love ya, it just means I've probably gone to bed already!

(I thought I wrote this all already.. But maybe I'm just crazy..)
Anyway, yeah if you're sending e-mails, make sure you send it to blue_cube, not james or jimzip or dibbit_echo etc, cause I only have access to blue_cube on this compy unfortunately. I haven't got any e-mails today from you though.. I'll go check again though just in case. ;)

Anyway, enough from me. Peace, love and mung beans to all.
