NYE @ club soda
my evening started at about 7pm with the trans new year party downtown. it was very festive. alice was a dumbass and went to the wrong place TWICE, then decided she'd just stay home. omg major scary brain issues.
anyway, it started with a stereo toppling to the ground, covered in barbecue sauce, then i had to inflate a 3ft monkey, which took an hour. but when people started showing up, it got a lot more fun. so many cute couples!
greg picked me up from there at 10:30 and we went to club soda, where he did his last (last last) show with grotto north. they were awesome. they played their song "new year's eve" right at midnight. the crowd seemed to respond to them more than any other band, and after they were done, the place started emptying out.
i tried to take some pictures of greg when he was on stage, but for the life of me i cannot figure out rock concert photography with all the lights and the darks and the smoke and the Greg Not Standing Still. i have a feeling i need a much more complicated camera than what i have. and well, i would upload what i have anyway, but i left the cord for it in greg's car.
here are some pics taken by someone else, at a different time, in a different place. but you get the idea of their coolness:

greg is in the 1st and 3rd photos.
i was trying to remember last night if i have been to club soda since i quit drinking, aside from being there like 15 minutes with peaches once. i don't know. i know i have been there while i was making an effort to be sober, but i don't think it was since the last time that i quit. in any event, it wasn't a big deal. it didn't even bother me. i actually had quite a good time watching the trainwreck of an extremely drunk boy in the mosh pit!
and i got to hang out with tara a bit at the club and later at their place. that was fun. tara had a couple friends who she met up with at the club and they seemed really nice, but i felt bad because the girl was trying to talk to me and i couldn't hear anything at ALL so i hope she didn't think i was being rude.
i got home about 3:30am and had a sparkling grape juice toast with peaches, who also gangsted some mac & cheese and mini quiches from the 1st party!
of course, larrypimp was fucking trashed when i got home, but i put him in his place.
it was a good NYE :)
