Our first (and second) Malaysian Bar

After another hot afternoon at the beach, a bunch of us decided to meet up with our new friends to hang out at one of the new hot bars in KL. Our new friends are two guys, Garrison and Mike. We met them at the pool one day and have become buddies pretty quickly. Basically, they’re both from the states. Garrison met a Malaysian woman on a business trip and then got bored with his job as a Harley salesman and decided to pack up and move here for a while. Mike had met Garrison when Garrison sold him a Harley, and they had become fast friends. After living in KL for a month, Garrison called Mike and told him he should come on over, so he did! Now Garrison works as an Elvis impersonater, and Mike is his manager. They live together in the apartment tower of our hotel, and they're pretty ridiculous.

However, they are very nice, so we've let them show us the town a bit. Garrison and Mike happen to have made good friends with some Australian guys who own the new hot bar right by our hotel, called Carnegie's. So when they all invited us out for ladies Night... cheap food and free drinks... how could we resist?

We headed over around eight to find the bar already hopping. It's a pretty cool space, with two floors and a huge bar. It took forever to get our food upstairs, and by the time we were finished a lot of us were done for the night. However, Maria, Dana, Jessica, Nicole, Stuart, and I decided to tough it out for a little while longer. That is when the craziness started.

Stu is a big guy who talks more than anybody I've ever met. He's tons of fun and has boundless energy for going out and meeting new people, so when he disappeared for a while we weren't surprised. He's probably tied with another cast member (Todd - and of course company manager Walter) for having had the most Asian girlfriends while we've been on tour. However, the rest of us (including Mike) headed downstairs to tackle the bar. Thanks to ladies night we enjoyed two sex on the beaches and about five glasses of champagne before the party took off. We also got some free shots from the cute Australian that Garrison and Mike introduced us to. From there on out the night was tequila sunrises, jello shots, and eventually tequila shots. Of course this led to some dancing... some on the bar by some people, and some with some strangers.

One creepy guy there was a friend of Mike's named Joe (he insisted we call him Black Joe to distinguish him from our Joe in the cast). Of course he was Malay and loved the big ladies, so a lot of the night was spent dancing away from him and telling him about our jealous boyfriends. The other creepy thing was a lady that we all met. She was sitting at the bar and smiling at all of us, and we started to think that she was being oddly friendly. We asked Mike what was going on and were met by another fact of Asia - the prostitute! She eventually found Stu and let me just say that I have some pretty incriminating pictures!

At around one am we had been partying for a while and decided to head home. We got about a block before we happened on an Irish pub with outdoor seating. We decided to stop for some goodnight beers and fries, and we had such a fun time! We people watched and chowed down on the food (which you're supposed to dip in mayonnaise) for another hour until we were ready to get home. However, right as we're about to leave I decided to go to the bathroom. I head inside and up the stairs, and right as I finish peeing the lights go out! I had to find my way out in the pitch dark. The bar had totally lost all power, so everybody moved outside with us to finish their partying. It took us awhile to leave after that, since getting into a cast register with no power is apparently impossible in KL (even though this supposedly happens a lot). We staggered home exhausted and elated... what a great night!
