My Blue Heaven

Never too old

Just when I thought I was starting to get too old to club… I pull an all-nighter. It was quite an impromptu thing – on Friday night after youth group some friends wanted to go to Sublime @ Home nightclub. I was feeling pretty energetic, so I thought “why not?” I’d never been to Home before, despite knowing about it since its opening, hearing heaps of good things from friends, and always wanting to give it a go. I think I was too firmly stuck to my R&B clubbing.. but I think I’m finally getting a little sick of it. There aren’t many good R&B clubs anymore.. ever since the demise of RnB Superclub @ City Live.

So we got there at about 12:30am… and left at 5:30am – to the beautiful sight of the sunrise over the city. I can’t believe how quickly time passes in there. We got in, danced for a bit, and the next time we checked our watches it was already almost 3am! After taking a break at Macca’s (I needed food), we went back in, and 2 1/2 hours later… it was morning! And I wasn’t tired at all the whole time.

There were 3 levels.. but the first level appealed to me the most – the atmosphere was really great – lights, smoke machines, huge crowd.. they played hard house/trance/techno sorta stuff. It was a very different dancing experience from R&B. I felt kinda awkward at first, but I got the hang of it eventually.. it was just alot of jumping/hopping around. I must’ve looked totally stupid, but who cares! The Cargo room (on the 3rd level) was pretty good too, with funky house. And on the 2nd level, they played a bit of hip hop! Nice to have a touch of rnb/hip hop during the night of techno. 🙂

Oh and I almost forgot… two pickup attempts. Whats with that?! I thought the picking up only happened at R&B clubs!? Grr. I just wanna dance! The first guy was a Brazilian called “Ricardo”. He was freaky. He just stood there, on the dance floor next to me, and just stared. Wierd. The 2nd guy was an aussie guy named Mark (from the Navy). He was alright – seemed like a normal, decent kinda guy. Of course, I told him I had a boyfriend, but he still seemed intent on hanging out with us. I didn’t mind too much as long as it went along the just friends path, and he didn’t make any seedy attempts. He did however ask me to have breakfast with him after clubbing. Erm.. didn’t the fact that I have a bf tell him something?! We eventually lost him in the crowd at around 5am.

Anyways, I wanna go again! The only downer is $$$ – its $25 cover charge. Ouch! Plus $3 per item for the cloak room (with another $3 to put stuff back in), $5 for a bottle of water (though I just found out they have free chilled water in the Cargo room?!?!). They’re milking us dry! Oh and add $15 for parking at Star City (6 hrs). Makes for a rather expensive night out. Still, it was really good. I’d do it again. Oh, and with some glow sticks/lights. They look cool! (Well I think so anyway.. its kinda trippy watching people dance, their hands moving in every direction, making all these convoluted patterns with the lights.)

So after sleeping at 7am on Sat morning, I spent the rest of the weekend recovering. Heh. Saturday, got up at 1pm & took it pretty easy, spending the afternoon making Tiramisu with Andrew, and then going to dinner & a movie at Roseville Cinemas (we saw this chinese movie called “Together” – t’was pretty good). On Sunday I went to Andrew’s place again for this big relo bash/house warming lunch. T’was a bit scary meeting all the relo’s and family friends. But I think providing the homemade Tiramisu made a good impression. (Score!) 🙂

Well, off to lunchies with a few friends soon at The Establishment. I feel like some Pad Thai. Mmmm..
