Liam is a fussy man
After bruising our spines with a Chinese Traditional Medicinal Treatment (not bizarre medieval torture practice as some of you seem to think) Liam and I finally dragged ourselves out of the apartment at about midnight on Saturday.
We went straight to Pirates, a discotheque for young people, it was great in there, cheap drinks, amazing music, cheap drinks, cheap drinks. The DJs were the same guys who put on a series of club nights called ‘Bananas’. I think they’re amazing, they play with a kind of 2ManyDJs / Nextmen / anything goes sort of attitude. Here’s a recent mix that they did and I’ll shut up about them now.
Anyhoo, it wasn’t exactly crammed with people- and the people that were on the dancefloor were all
“Hmm, yes. This music is really, quite good. I think I shall nod my head slightly in appreciation.”
which is the nightclub equivalent of people who say
“That’s really funny!”
instead of laughing.
[Now did I have a girlfriend who used to do that, or was it on an episode of 'Friends'?].
Liam wanted somewhere more lively and he’s the guest so it was onwards to Logo where we met a German guy called Fabien. He recommended Club DKD on Huaihai Lu which was decent enough, but the music wasn’t really our thing, there weren’t many people there either, and on a sofa 10 feet away from the toilets, there was a girl with three fingers crammed right down her throat, trying to make herself sick onto her boyfriend’s lap.
No photo of that, as it was so grim I could barely focus on her breasts watch.
Drunk guys@Bonbon? Whatever next
So despite it being about 3:30- 4am by now we headed to Bonbon where there were plenty of people, good music (except in the Hip-hop room which seemed to be playing a Ja Rule’s greatest hits tape), and vodka and Coke’s so strong they could try the barstaff in there for attempted murder.
“Oh you like Vodka eh? WELL HOW’S THIS FOR VODKA?!?!?!“
it was an episode of “scrubs” when jd’s GF (played by mandy moore) keeps saying “that’s so funny” but doesn’t ever actually laugh . . .*i’m now going to go slip my wrists, i’m so pathtic . . .
Snazzy uniforms on those vodka-mongers. Not a hint of malice on their faces either.
Ah yeah Scrubs! I think that’s the one I remember, although maybe there was someone I met who did the same thing too.
Amy- maybe they look all innocent there, but I tell thee- when it gets past 4am, they’re trying to finish people off so they can go home. There’s a load of ice, a dash of coke for colour then 3/4 glass of vodka.
By 4am most of the customers are already finished off. In fact, by 1am they’re lying on the steps oblivious to the outside world if I recall correctly from a previous Swiss James photo!
James, these people you photograph when you’re drunk haven’t even been drinking, they just pretend that they’re paralytic so they don’t have to talk to you.
