Saturday night shenanigans

On the last Saturday of our week off, some of the peeps decided they wanted to go clubbing. And since I felt up to a night of light hearted amusement I decided to tag along. Our group consisted of Joel, Joseph, Judy, Jean, Fiona and myself and we all headed over to Joel's place for pre-drinks. I don't quite understand the tradition of having pre-drinks but I'm a green innocent thing when it comes to such things.

We chatted for a while and played silly drinking card games before we headed out to Club ID. I've been told that while Club ID is the most popular club in Nagoya it's also one of the seediest. I was told that I should only go if I want to get hit on by fifty Brazilian guys. But Jean wanted to go there and nobody else had any suggestions.

When we got there the line was ridiculous. It literally went around the corner. Some of group went to the convenience store to get drinks while we waited. Joseph very kindly got me drink as well but we barely cracked them open before we got to the door. Fastest moving line I've ever been in.

At the door we were greeted by a pro-wrestling team of security guards. They did the prefunctory check of id and then Joel and Joseph got frisked. That pissed me off because none of the Japanese guys got frisked or any girls for that matter.

Joseph: They probably wouldn't get away with frisking girls.
Isa: But a girl could just as easily have a girl strapped to her thigh as any guy.
Joseph: Yes, but that would be sexy and if they saw that they'd be like, 'Please come straight on in.'

It was packed inside of course and Jean led us all to the hip-hop, R&B level. And thus the dancing ensued. Despite all the warnings about ID, it wasn't quite as horrendous as I was expecting it to be. I never actually got hit on by any Brazillians. I got the sleazy look over all the time but I think Joseph and Joel's presence in our group kept most of them at bay.

At one point we all started a bump and grind train with a whole bunch of other people. It was hilarious. I also saw one guy dressed up in a Yoshi suit and another in a Pikachu suit. Hilarity. They must have been hot as heck in those.

It got so crowded we had to do our best worming to get through the crowds to get a drink. Jean grabbed my hand and led the way do I put out my hand for Joel or Joseph. I turned back and saw some random japanese guy had grabbed my hand. And he refused to let go until we got to the bar at which point he thanked me for leading him out of the crowd. Smart man.

After Club ID we all decided to head to Joy Joy for a bout of Karaoke. Our bout lasted into the wee hours of the morning. By the end of it, only Judy, Joel and I were still rocking. When we stumbled out of there the sun was already well and truly out. It gets so bright so freaking early over here.
