MeFi/MeCha Girls' Night is a success! So some of us NYC girls got together for a girls' night of tapas and dancing...[More:]

Despite the excellent, inexpensive food and somewhat inexpensive wine/whatever sparkly stuff gaspode was drinking, this is not a place where we could have a lot of people meet up at. It was just too damn small. As it was, we crammed ourselves at the end of the bar, jamming up the path to the bathroom so that everyone who wanted to go inevitably had to rub up against our asses while they slid by. I think we were so busy talking and chatting about things that we forgot to get a Photo Friday pic of us drinking.

Then, TPS, her friend Erin and I went to Culture Club for dancing. And it makes perfect sense that when we got there, no one was dancing--so naturally, we had to be the first on the dance floor. And then we got this cute redhead named Carrie up with us, and then some of the other people in the corner floated down to join us and the party was officially underway.

Eventually, TPS wasn't feeling the 80s groove downstairs, so we migrated upstairs to NervAna, the 90s dance area. Things were much better up there. For one, there was an air conditioning vent right above the dance floor so when you wanted to cool down, all you had to do is stand under the air and dance. Pink didn't want any skeevy guys getting behind her and grooving with her and as her sworn wingwoman, I took a hit when this guy named Peter who had been dancing with her friend Erin tried to get behind her. I intercepted him while she fled the floor and he and I salsa'ed for a while. (BTW, Peter says you and Erin are very beautiful ladies.) [cont'd]
I had to catch a train at 1:14 am, so I left early. On my way there, a guy I think was autistic or something like that tried to talk to me while I looked for a cab to hail, but I ignored him. I couldn't ignore the really big, pretty drunk guy who sat next to me on the LIRR and started up a conversation with me. His name was Gregg, and he had broken up with a girlfriend of two years three weeks ago and was still kinda morose about it. We made small talk and when I made the comment that the train was cold inside, he put his arm around me. That was very nice of him.

So now my feet are sore and my thighs are sore, but I had a lot of fun. Next girls' night will be sometime in late summer, so even more gals can come out to play with us!

You lost me after "a night of topless dancing..."

I see now that it was "tapas and dancing", but I don't regret the images that went through my head. Mmm, images.

How did you find out Greegg spelled his name with two 'g's? And where did I get the extra 'e'? Letters are crazy man.

It was Bar Carrera on 2nd Ave and 11st.

It was great. I ended up going to a party on 116th and Adam Clayton Powell in this amazing building and free booze!!! But I was pretty drunk by then and only stayed for an hour or so but not before embarrassing the sober boyfriend. Woo hoo!

Then I awoke with the worst headache I have had in a long time. Sorry to have missed the dancing ladies. Next time for sure!
