1 word, Purgatory! A Club, a bar, a fantasic place between Heaven and Hell! Last night was my friend Lisa's 29th birthday so we all went to her party at a new Sheik Club called Purgatory, right down the road from Deep Ellum. 3 (4 for VIP) levels of hot men, gorgeous women, and ridiculously priced drinks. Josh and I had done some pre-drinkin' before going to Lisa's and continued our drinking right up to the stoplight infront of Purgatory. Josh & I both very nervous about him getting in creep up to the door with Caroline and her boyfriend Aaron. As the old man at the door grabs his ID, I create a distraction. . ."Is there a cover tonight?" I yelled. Then the man, looking directly at me, gives the ID back to Josh never to have looked at his face! Ahhhh! The perfect conspiracy! Once we were inside, we waited for the rest of the gang. 56 people, Lisa counted, were in our group! And yet, we still didn't remotely fill up a corner of this place. It is HUGE! LCD screens, fog machines, great music, gorgeous decor, I mean it can't get any better! So we make a stop at the bar, I order 2 shots and 2 drinks. "That's $30," says the bartender. HOLY SHIT! Did he really say $30?!?!?!? Maybe expensive but it was soooo worth it! People if you haven't gotten the hint yet. . .GO TO PURGATORY! This place is AMAZING! Not to mention it's the only place in town where you can say "Go To Hell" to someone, and they really go to Hell! After paying another $20 in drinks, we continued to explore this never ending club. We ran into a couple of my friends from High School, and even one of my neighbors. As we kept staring up to the VIP Cat Walk, Josh and I wanted to know how to get there and why we weren't. As confident as ever, and drunk, we stumbled up to the VIP entrance. "How do you get in here" I asked. "Well either alot of money, or you know someone." the worker explained to me. Sadly and feeling denied, I asked if we could get a tour. None the less, we run into more of my friends. And there Mary left us to enjoy our temporary VIP membership. We mingled with my friend Brian, and even got to meet the Developer of the club. Very old man, seemed gay, but I think he was straight. *I could use a sugar daddy* Well anyway, as our drinks ran low to empty. $28 later, we have 2, yes, ONLY 2 drinks. One for me, One for Josh! VIP is very expensive! But it was fun! Never made it to the cat walk though. Apparently you have to purchase a full bottle of any select liquers ranging in price starting at $275! Yikes.
Well $115 later, Josh and I called it a night! What a freggin' blast! Again, I encourage anyone over the age of 21 or if they have a good ID, to go! It is well worth it!
