Lao Kwai FUN!
After an exhausting weekend of shows, I was ready to get back in bed and watch some LOST and pass out and sleep in. Of course that was not to be. Last weekend the NYUtes (as we call the three new cast members who are all best friends and went to NYU together) found an "Amazing" bar, and everyone had promised to tag along this Sunday night before our day off. Claiming a headache I almost escaped, but at the last moment Jessica convinced me, and we were off!
We headed to Lao Kwai Fong, the cool area for bars and nightlife. It's actually not a very big area, but it consists of one long, steep street that is closed to cars. All along the street are bars and restaurants, most open to the street, and there are christmas lights hung all over the place, as a canopy over your head. It feels like a frat bought a whole street and is constantly throwing a huge grown-up frat party. This is a good feeling. When we got there, even on a Sunday night it was rocking, and we got started right away.
Shocked by the fact that we could drink on the street (everyone's been busted in New York one time or another for trying to smuggle and open container) we did just that. A quick trip to 7-11 and we were hooked up. Since I'm still phlegm-y I sticked to coke, but the excitement was enough to make you feel drunk. When we had pre-partied sufficiently, we headed to the famous bar, Insomnia. Inside it looks a little like a cave, and there was a FANTASTIC live band! While we waited for their set to begin we sat and ate pancakes - what a treat! The NYUtes had hung out with the band the previous week, so they made their friends again, and then we all hit the dance floor. The band played a mix of a lot of eighties, plus some recent hip-hop and any other big hits. Of course when you stick a bunch of show-off actors on the dance floor the party really begins, and it did. We danced, and took breathing breaks and drinking breaks, until 3:30am, when we were exhausted. We made some new friends (not including the drunk Austrailian man who claimed to be in love with me) and vowed to come back again. Fun fuN!
