Guest Lists…A Godsend

Last night we ended up going to the Rev (or Revolution for non-Kdubbers). It was a crazy time. We did some priming at our place before Ed’s friends came to town and then we tried calling a taxi. Two of the main numbers were busy and the third said that “the cab is out of town”. I’m not sure how much business they get with only one cab running around. They told us that it would be about 10 minutes. 20 minutes later still no cab at our front door so we conned Lonnie into giving us a ride over to the house. We were told that there’s a hair salon in the front. No such hair salon exists within two blocks of the house but we found the place safely anyway in case you were wondering.

Once we arrived, everyone basically wanted to head out to the club because they didn’t know how busy it would be. We tried again calling the cab companies and they told us there was a three-hour wait. We contemplated reserving a cab for 2 or 3 but I’m not sure they would allow that. It was a choice of walking or cramming into a car. Cram we did. If you were ever losing sleep over the question of whether you could fit 8 grown men in a 95 Mercury Sable, rest easy because you can. That was the strangest car ride I’ve ever had. I had more room than the people in the front though because they could only fit 3 across and one of the guys had to sit on a lap. We were lucky not to get stopped by the police.

Once we got to the club we saw how big the line was. Probably more people in line than at the Bomber on Wednesday night. There was also something of a snowstorm last night and it was pretty cold out (go figure for the winter). Fortunately we were on the guest list, a fact which I didn’t even realize until Dave said it. Our two hour wait was reduced to 30 seconds. Hooray! Of course once we got inside we realized that they shoudl have let more people in the regular line in because it was pretty empty.

I won’t bore you with the details of the rest of the evening, suffice to say that we had many drinks and ended up walking home in the snowstorm because there were no available cabs. Also a couple of people we were with were kicked out because they were smoking inside. Dave tried his hardest to get kicked out himself, but the bouncers were too nice with him. I don’t even know how many cigarettes Andy lost. Also I think Ed is feeling the effects of his mass drinking today.

This is one awesome track. I wonder if the original is as good.
