I had a great weekend, all the elements of ensuring a good time were there. Went out to play pool on Friday night which you all know I LOVE!!! (i'm still terrible though) As a part of a team I even was a part of winning. Then before we left we played some sort of game where you take turns playing, you can go after any ball you want and you get 3 lives. This way many people can play, you just keep going until everyone dies off. Believe it or not I WON!!!!! WOW!!!! Quite shocking. Well that ended the pool part of the night. Sean, Ian and I were still wide awake (it was only 9:30) so we went to this place called the Reflex. Let me tell you, there is a reason you haven't heard me talk about this place. Up until Friday night I was successful in avoiding it in the 11 months I have been here. There have been some horror stories about this place!!!! #1 it is here in Croydon so how good can it be? #2 it is an 80's dance club. #3 It's in Croydon. #4 It's called the Relfex for goodness sakes. Well it was free before 10 so at least I didn't have to pay to get in. I sucked it up and danced a bit and actually had a good time!! It turns out all the horror stories come from people that go there late at night after lots of drinking and stay until all hours of the morning. I was home by 11 so no horror stories even had a chance to get a start!
I met up with Farrah, Anuja, Emeka, Roe and Greg. Roe was telling me about his virst sighting of Croydon vomit and a bonus... he, Greg and Farrah saw a mom letting her son pee on the road. Classic Croydon.
The party at Liz's was a blast. Every single person had a costume on. I was so amazed. People in LA are "too cool" for that which ends up being disappointing. This was fantastic in that everyone put a lot of effort into their costumes. Some were really beautiful like Anuja and Yoshi and some were very funny like Henry!! I hope to have pictures up tomorrow. I didn't take my camera but I am borrowing pics from other people. Here is one of a bunch of the girls that turned out pretty good.
Dawn, Farrah, Yoshi, Anuja, Liz, me, Caron and Myriam (can you guess who they are all dressed as?)
Everyone had a really great time. Around 11 or so we all left and went to a club near Liz's place. The club used to be an old theatre and Liz had reserved an opera box for us. My feet were killing me so I sat in the box and watched the dance floor. One of the best pictures was seeing Henry's purple head (He was dressed as Buzz Lightyear) bobbing around on the dance floor. Keep in mind it was a regular night at the club so only about 10 of us were dressed up. Ian got alot of attention dressed as Princess Leia complete with wig and buns (Someone stole the wig off his head though!!!!) Another honorable mention was Sean dressed as a gladiator complete with a skirt!!!
It really was a fun night, I sure will miss these people when I move back home. :(
