Boulevard Re-Opening Night

I just got back from Boulevard. Tonight was its grand re-opening. As with all clubs in Melbourne, the queue was crazy! It almost seems like getting into a club is a novelty. We took 45 minutes to get in which is considerably short by Melbourne standards. Initially I thought they weren't allowing people inside because it was too packed (fire regulation reasons). However, I peeped inside and spoke to the bouncers. Apparently, the long line was due to the hold up at the payment counter. This proves one of two things: 1) They have a terribly inefficient payment system OR 2) The long queue was intentional to hype up the club. Seriously, there were many more people outside than inside.

They had only three people handling the payments. Seriously, so inefficient! I saw many people leave the queue to head to other clubs. What a lost of revenue. I would have thought they should have worked out these nitty gritty stuff when the club was closed for months.

Oh, interesting stuff! Apparently, a guy tried to jump over this high glass just to cut the queue and enter the club. And, there was a fight between this guy and management. I think he was frustrated with the long wait. The police escorted him away.

That being said, I was pretty glad we didn't give up and persisted! The music was awesome! I loved the sound system. The dj spinning was excellent. I loved his music. When I first saw him, I thought he was Malaysian which got me pretty excited. I walked up to him and asked him where he is from. He said he was mixed Spanish and Filipino. Oo, mixed blood, nice! We chatted for quite a bit. At one point, he passed me the microphone. I daren't say anything into the mic. God knows, the crowd might have magically disappeared after that. He also djs at a club near my place on Saturday nights. I might head there more often now.

These are a couple of my observations tonight:
Straight girls like to make out. Either 1) they might be bisexual (if that's the case, it's okay. Their choice. I don't judge) or 2) because there are guys watching them make out and they like that idea. The kissing sessions are always accompanied by a photography session. Following which, the photos will probably be displayed on Facebook.

Girls can get terribly clumsy when influenced by alcohol. This girl with high heels stepped on my toes. Omg, I was in pain was such a long time.

You are able to make friends in a long queue. I think I made about 6 new friends in the queue.

I've encountered more sweaty girls tonight than guys.

A good sound system makes such a HUGE difference.




Goodnight world, so tired. It's 3 am.
