11/9-11/11 - Colder the weekend, But hotter the fun

The Friday rolled around and I overbooked.

My brother came over to hang out and play video games. Russ and the Jimmy wanted to hang out and go to Splash. So at least I had something to do. My brother came over and we started watching PS3 download videos and video game trailers and then playing Folklore and Everyday Shooter. Once 11:30 rolled around we called a taxi and got a ride into the city. My brother stayed at home playing games while I rolled into downtown Manhattan and made my way over to Splash. After we got to 17th Street I picked up a Vitamin Water at the pizzeria and then headed into the club.

The DJ for the eve was Joe Gauthreaux but the crowd was downstairs on the coat check line so I volunteered to get our first bar drinks while Jimmy and Russ hung up our coats. Said hello to Garrett and picked up a Stoli Orange and Red bull while the guys got Ketel One and Cranberry. Back upstairs it was warmer but the dancefloor did not fill up right away because of the rain earlier in the evening was keeping the boys from walking and getting wet. Of course once inside you got wet anyway, from dancing to the beats and moving on the dancefloor. I hung out with Rick and Steve and later Rob and Tres until it got late enough to head home around 3:15am. Back in BK my brother was still playing video games and it was time for everyone to shut down and get some sleep. Everyone retired to their neutral corners and it was a nice finish to Friday night.

Saturday morning we woke up to delivery breakfast and sent my brother home with plenty of soda and his own clean laundry that he had left at my place a few months ago. I spent part of the afternoon mixing music and buying new tunes before we headed out for lunch at Wendy's in downtown brooklyn. Double with cheese consumed I finished downloading my online-store bought beats. The rest of the night passed quickly as I chilled out some before preparing to head out by cleaning up and getting the outfit together. Pants from H&M, shirt from military supply and the dog tags (for Veteran's Day). After I said good eve to Russ I headed out to the car service and got a ride into the city. Of course we ran into the traffic on the west side b/c of some accident just above 14th street. Then once up 8th ave I ran into the traffic heading out of the boxing match. Crazy people all trying to get taxi's at the same time. I finally made it to the ATM and then over to the club. I paid my fee and then went through coat check then headed downstairs and into Club Stereo.

The dancefloor was already hopping with people and the place was filling up for a nice party with DJ Eddie Elias. The crowd of friends was already in place and only getting larger. Took plenty of pics with the whole crew and talked to DJ Sean and Pat and all of the friends hanging out and about. Rob and Tres arrived later and the party was truly underway before 1am with plenty of great beats and the crowd truly enjoying the music. I stayed at the party drinking and hanging out until just after 5am and then said goodnight and headed out of the club. Of course the line at Mickey D's was horrendous so I bypassed that place and went to the bodega for a king-size Sinckers bar. Then I hopped in a yellow cab and headed back to BK. Once again the Saturday night was sighted, enjoyed, and completed in record time.

Sunday was pretty much a day of recovery. I had breakfast that I made myself (a nice egg salad sandwich) and after watching some DVR programming I chilled out and then fell asleep. Of course I had to wake up because I had places to go. But I had already cleaned up and dressed so I just had to head out and down to car service and get a ride into the city. Of course my driver was practically ready for the autobahn so I got into the city in record time. I was over to Rush and then upstairs to say hi to the people already in attendance. DJ Sean and the rest of the crew had planned a cool night for everyone that was coming but of course they all arrived at different times and not all at once so the place never got really full but was always pretty fun. From fun beats, to a nice space and then once Eddie and Chris and Joe arrived we had tri-level lasers to reflect off of the mirrors on the dancefloor. Was a nice effect and along with the great beats it was cool fun. I stayed at that party until around 11:30 when I had to go get something to eat, so I said goodnight to everyone and then headed down the block. Mickey D's was open but took forever to make my Angus burger but once that was done I headed over to 14th and got my taxi ride home. The driver took the long way back to Canal street instead of going down Broadway but I finally made my way back and still was able to give the driver a nice tip because once in Brooklyn the lights were all my way.

Another weekend completed and I lived to tell the tale. Still some great days ahead. See you then guys.
