“Yesterday / Love was such an easy game to play”
It’s not quite April 19th anymore, but oh well.
Yesterday:
Up early, late to work. A train had broken down, so there were delays; not cool. Work was alright, cleared my desk again. Home by 6.
Then–and this is where things get interesting–Bob lures me into going out with him, Jeremy and Johnny; my usual Thursday plans for “quizzin’ it” were thrown into the wind. We were going to a singles party…
We arrive at The Victorian Room about 7:40ish. A sign on the footpath outside the Cellar next door advertises ‘Cult NZ Wines’. Knowing Ben’s affection for Neudorf, I run in to check if they stock it; they do–$34 for their Savignon Blanc. Mission accomplished, I head back to the footpath, to head to the real party.
We move toward the door.
“Are you on the list?” a man asks, clipboard in hand. Nope. “$30 entry.” We pay and are handed a piece of coloured card by his helper. “Find your match!” she says.
Your SONG name is
YESTERDAY
Which PERFORMER sang your song?
FIND YOUR MATCH!
Bob’s goal for the night is to party with The Village People…
The atmosphere is very relaxed, casual; much more so than in a normal bar setting.
<!–
In a normal bar setting, groups tend not to mix all that much, and females tend to be a little more stand-offish when approached, assuming that if any male talks to them it’s in the hopes of getting a little action (which is probably a fair generalisation, especially with younger people.)
Here though, the aim is very much different. People seem more relaxed, I guess the aim (for both male and female) is just to get talking and swap phone numbers, rather than bodily fluids.
–>17 cigarettes.
