Clubbing with James Tran

Followed T and her girlfriend to Arthouse to meet up with more friends. Entered around 2am. About Arthouse Location: Pitt St opposite Hungry Jacks/ Pure Platinum Inside: Main room with main DJs, and a secondary room of similar size but darker atmosphere  playing breaks. About Together Music: House Crowd: Caucasian, Pretty. Dress Code: Casual Cover Charge / Entry Fee: Gia mentioned she paid $30 before midnight. We paid $25 at 2am. $20 prepaid on the Paul Strange presents website Occurrence: Weekly Saturdays Website: http://www.paulstrangepresents.com/ Atmosphere: (2am) Pretty much a dancing mood in main room, but it was not too packed. Most people were outside in the back having a chit chat. Secondary room was pretty dead at this time. Timeline Lining up troubles That’s us in the guestlist line. We were told to line up here. Then we were told to line up in the other line, as we were not on the guestlist. After about 30 minutes we got to the front, and we were told we didn’t have pink armwrists, so we had to line up back on the guestlist line!!! What a JOKE. After lining up again in the guestlist line, the guy recognized us and apologises, then lets us in. More Kissing We met T and her ex’s Brazilian friends, and they were friendly. Half the time was spent playing tonsil hockey with T, while the others cheer and whistle on loudly as we pash. (I’m still shaking my head as I write this.) I secretly wanted Gia, but she had already found a pashing partner. By this time my hormones have overriden any sense of logical rationing. My heart says no, but the prostate says yes. Music Brilliant, I had no complaints. House was done very well Coda Leave around 5am, very very tired… I didn’t really get a chance to criticize this place, though I would advise on getting prepaid tickets.

Hot and dark in the main and break room. Relaxed in rnb room. Timeline Getting in Unlike last week where we just turned up, this week there was a guestlist made by birthday girl and we didn’t wait that long to get in, though we still had to wait as we turned up just after midnight. Atmosphere We went into the main room, which was packed to the rafters. The music being electro house. We got our own spot, but it was really dark (literally couldn’t see the people next to us as there were no lights) and it got HOT.. very quickly. We didnt last 5 minutes before leaving. Same story for the breaks froom despite the two huge fans. We went to the rnb room. (continue reading…)
