Cheers to the girls who lasted the night
In April at a 'gathering' Brom and I decided we should go out again. Her and I had only been out once before, in January. But it had been FUN. Tar & I have been out several times and never had a bad time. Now, when i say out, I mean out. One of those nights were you end up spending several hundred dollars and wonder how, where you start with predrinks, try cocktails along the way, end up eating little and try a few clubs before finding the one and stay there until 2,3,4 in the morning. The next day you should have few plans. The trick with these nights is the more planning you put in the worse the night will be. So Bom and I decided that i'd talk to Tar and choose a a date, put it on her facebook and we'd not make any more plans til the day before.
As always life got in the way, nearly four months later we finally set a date. I started making plans but didn't share them til the days before then i start feeling i'd over thought it so suggested we cancel. No Way Tar responded, her and Brom were to excited. So two days before I let them know my thoughts. They agreed and we'd have a couple extras joining us along the way. The day of I booked the restaurant, nd we organised meeting for pre-drinks. then Brom cancels. Tar and I decide to go ahead still. Brom will join us for a pre drink before we leave. After leaving the snacks i was meant to bring at work, I go buy more to save time, then in the rush to catch my tram, I leave the second lot at home. I get to my tram stop only to see it 50 meters down the road - after my stop... I wait the fifteen minutes til the next one and arrive in Vermont 50 minutes later with the task of finding Tar some foundation as she's left her make up bag in Julz's car. I meet mum (Tar's mum) and we walk around coles buying the snacks (my third attempt) I forgot, make up and other bits an pieces, then mum drives me home. I find Tar and Brom getting ready - Brom has changed her mind. Mum and I put some food together, and we drink
The cab has been booked for eight, and Brom is going to stay at Tar's house, and Tar is going to stay at Julz's. All seems to be coming together til Brom realises she's left her license at her shop. so she's going to get that, drive home ,and we'll pick her up from there. As I go to call the cab to delay the pick up he rings the doorbell. e says he'll return at 8.30, Brom leaves, mum gets confused. But its going to be ok. 20 minutes or so later we get a call from Brom. She's locked her keys in her car. Including her house key. She now has her license but can't go home. We suggest she call RACVand we'll meet her at her car instead of at home. She calls back, understandably stressed by the situation. And now the cab is back, she has a decision to make... She's not going to come so we jump in the cab, just the two of us, meeting the other two at the restaurant. The cab ride is fun, and the driver is cute! The alcohol is wearing off by the time we arrive - COCKTAIL time. We order and the others arrive. Tar's dad calls, after her mum confuses him as well. Nothing strange about this, but he goes to bed about 8pm, and gets up at 4am. So an 10pm call is rather odd. We eat and chat as girls do. A few cocktails, yummy food and a couple hours later we discuss where we are going next. Af says she's been where we were thinking of before and she doesn't rate it. But they are going home anyway. so now Tar and I have a decision to make...
In a couple of hours we need to meet Julz in Prahan. So we decide to get th girls to drop us off down there on their way home. Surely there'll be something for us to do down there... so we say goodbye to the girls just past Chapel Street (Prahan) and go to cross the road at lights at a side street just down from Chapl. A car runs the red light, and hits another car, mostly ripping off its bumper bar. Tar being the good citizen decides we should give our details as witnesses, so we go down another side street to where they have pulled over to assess the damage. We give our details anda start making our way back, on the way we decide to stop at a club that seems pretty popular, $15 cover charge, this better be worth it. Some guys ask if they can join us as the club won't let in just guys - its a guy/girl ratio thing. So we have a group of5 as far as the door. then tar and I head to the bathroom, never to see the guys again. Seeing all the girls around we realise we are the most covered up girls there. As we leave the bathroom we notice our light coloured skin and blondeish hair is standing out. It seems we have found a clubfor Italians, Greeks and the like. We decide to grab a drink, take a seat and people watch. Its fun for a while, but the novelty wears off so we go to leave but decide we have to have one dance first. We dance to one of the over-reminxed songs they are playing waiting for it to be over. Where to next?
Chapel street. We walk along, interested in some of the people walking by, and laughing at how our night is turning out. We are meant to meet Julz at a bar on the corner of Chapel and Greville so we walk down Greville to find it assuming its down that way. We don't find his bar, but we come across a bar still open although quiet. Tar hs been here before but it was much busier last time. We grab a drink from a bar tender who is obviously new, and take a seat. Tar with her wine, me with my vodka, we laugh at our night - a comedy of errors & cheers - to the girls who lasted the night...
