Weekend Roundup
Tuesday, 22 January 2008 22:25I had a pretty rad weekend. Friday night Anthony played at Planet nightclub (he runs a monthly club night there and it's been getting bigger and better each month). It was a really good night and I barely even drank anything, which was an amazing feat unto itself. It was meant to be a quiet night due to having to be up at a reasonable time the next day, but I managed to only get to bed at 4am, as usual.
Saturday I went with Daz and Ash to the Gold Coast. They had a unit for the weekend for Big Day Out and I decided to stay there Saturday night with them. The trip there was hilarious, what should have been an hour trip ended up being over two hours because Daz just kept going the wrong way and getting lost. At one point I fell asleep (I had a migraine coming on and no pain killers with me) and when I woke up Daz had gone way past the exit to Surfers Paradise and had I not woken up we may have found ourself in Byron Bay (which is 2 hours away, in case you didn't know). But we got there eventually, and hung out in the hotel for a while before going out for dinner.
After dinner Daz and I went to an alternative club called The Party as I'd always wanted to check it out. It's you standard sort of place with emo's and goths in top hats and over-priced drinks. But something exciting did happen. Two emo guys were "dancing" which involved them running at and leaping onto each other. Well the smaller one leapt on the bigger guy who, playfully, pushed him off and onto the ground. But it ended badly and the guy hit his head on the ground pretty hard. It looked like he got knocked out for a bit, and I was all "Well serves him right or being stupid" but then I saw his female friends crying and the security were starting to panic. So I went to investigate and this poor guy had split his head open and there was a lot of blood gushing out. I thought he was dying and stared at him til all the blood made me feel sick and I had to go outside to calm down. But not 10 minutes later the very same guy walks out with his friends (including a sheepish looking mate who knocked him down in the first place) and a security guard, laughing, blood all over his face. I guess he was drunk enough to be OK, so I didn't feel so bad then. It was gross but also pretty exciting.
( Anyway the next day was Big Day Out )
