Listen, friends. I am going to tell you the secret to having a good time at Amsterdam:
Pre drink.
Otherwise, the $6 for a Blue Moon on tap and the complete inability of the dj's to mix the music becomes irritating. I just want to drunkenly dance the night away and I don't want to have to stop because the dj dropped the beat! Please!
Pre drink, friends. Pre drink until you can't hear the bad transitions. Pre drink until you're likely to join the boys on the dance floor doing the Single Ladies dance. Pre drink so that you can leave your wallet at home!
Pre drink and then you will have fun. Shake it to Brittany and Rhianna with the friendly homos on the dance floor. When you get tired of that, go outside and dance on the makeshift dance floor to some different kinds of tunes. When you get tired of that, sink in to a couch to people watch the diverse crowd. When you get tired of watching the gays, watch the latino kids and the goth kids walking back and forth to the clubs next door.
And then, if you live near by like me, you can stumble home afterward. Anything within stumbling distance gets an extra star! Hooray!
The only time I didn't have fun was on a first friday. Apparently that's when the bitches come out to play!
