Sometimes you just need Taquitos...

So on Saturday night, Hannah and I went out. Michelle (my roommate) and Katie (her roommate) were sick, but we were too bored to stay home. We decided we were gonna go to some club that was free that we've never been to before. We met up at a metro stop that apparently had like 4 exits on completely different blocks and it took us about 20 minutes to find each other. Then we decided to wander for a while since it was only 12am (early for clubs).

We went to a bar and had some beers and found a bunch of lounge places. When we passed them, we got a bunch of free passes so we meandered a bit and went to one called the love factory. It was kinda boring because no one was dancing and the drinks were just ridiculously priced so we moved on. Then someone handed us a flier for Chupitos, which was actually somewhere we had wanted to go and we followed the mini map to get there.

For anyone I didn't explain this to yet, Chupitos is a shot bar. Basically, there are over 500 names of shots on a big sign, and you pick something, tell the bar tender, and cross your fingers. Some of the shots get kind of ridiculous. For instance, we saw one that a group of girls was doing, although I have no idea what the name was. The bartender poured some liquor into a giant penis and then they proceeded to jerk the penis off until foam came out the top and that was the shot that had to take out of it. Another one involved the guy being dressed up like a soldier and getting yelled at and ordered around by the bartender who was dressed like an army drill instructor. We saw some other one with oranges and fire and another one where they lit the shots on fire and then they had to drink the shot out while it was still on fire.

We were pretty close to the front and the bartender asked what we wanted, but we had no idea. He asked us if we wanted something strong or light, and then if we wanted something sweet. We said light and sweet and then he asked us if we liked marshmallows. We said sure and he came back with two sticks for us, with marshmallows on them. Then he lit the bar on fire and we had to roast our marshmallows. When they were sufficiently on fire, we had to put the fire out in our shotglasses, eat the marshmallows, and then do the shot. It was delicious. Then we split a liter of a mixed drink. I have no idea what we drank, but it was wonderful. The bar closed at 3, so then we wandered off to find the original club we had intended to go to.

Once slightly tipsy, we wandered enthusiastically toward the club called Mary's place. When we got there though, the whole block had lost power and so everyone was just hanging out outside. We went to another bar to use the bathroom and then just wandered toward the metro because we didn't know of any other clubs that were around there. The metro trip was interesting because it was really hard to stay awake, but I got home around 5ish, made myself a grilled cheese, and went to sleep.

Sunday I got up around 12 and went to the beach to read, but it was really windy, so I got some hot chocolate and spent most of the day watching episodes of House online. Today I went to school and then the park to read, and now I'm being boring again, because all my friends got whatever it was that I had. Hopefully everyone will be healthy again in a few days.
