| - I had no choice but to go to Levack Block last night. I went to a house party (do people say condo party?) for a childhood best friend who is moving to BC next week; it wasn't my party so I certainly wasn't going to disagree with the choice of bar when we decided to take the party to the streets. Plus I had never been to the place, and isn't Ossington supposed to be a hip area?
HUGELY disappointed. Someone below mentioned a "sea of people" and this is pretty accurate. MORE correct, however, would be to say the place was rammed to the tits. You really couldn't move around this place without elbowing your way through the drunken masses. And it was hot, sticky and gross. You know when you see packed club scenes in music videos and it looks kinda sexy? Let me tell you, in real life, not so sexy.
Really annoying was that someone decided the coat check should be at the very BACK of the place. So in order to check your coat and then retrieve it at the end of the night, you had to fight your way through the throngs to do so. It was a tough mission, and for a while I wasn't sure I was going to make it.
Music wasn't my thing either. I don't mind a couple throw backs from my youth for a little camp factor (i.e., DeeLite, Groove is in the Heart) but the DJ has to know when to draw the line (i.e., some Will Smith track).
And the drink prices just made me angry. $6.75 for a bottle of Corona? Really? Was I so drunk I imagined that? And no, I didn't get drunk off of 6.75 Coronas...I pre-drank enough at the condo party to keep me going for most of the night :)
