Cheers to youth and Chicago!

Okay, so you already know that I hate clubs. Sometimes I get talked into going if there are free drinks involved. Tonight, there were free drinks, so I went.

(insert night of $8 6oz drinks [once the promo was over] and not getting drunk fast enough, watching all the clubby douchebags think that they're awesome with their fake tans and pomade, etc).

So, I finally have enough vodka and then music gets good enough that I dance.

(insert 1.5 hour dance sequence in 5 inch heels [yes, I am honestly the tallest person in the damn place] with cheesy dance moves because we just can't take ourselves seriously, like all the tools surrounding us can).

Then all 9 of us walked out, deciding to get two cabs. Each fare will be about $25 dollars w/o tip. So, we're looking at $60 for two fares with tip. Just outside was a limo. A limo that would fit 9 people. So he said, "$60 for all of you to Rogers Park."

Deal.

We climbed in, cranked the bad rap music, and drank coke and sprite out of champagne flutes while driving down Michigan Ave. We made at least 13 toasts to our ridiculous circumstance and each paid $8 to get from the meatpacking district to Rogers Park. That's a deal and a half, if I've ever seen one.

So anyways, here's to Chicago and being young and having just enough money to get by!

loving Chicago,
Ali

"$35 for the four of you." Limo driver, before the other five friends walked out.
"Yeah! Great!" -all my dumb drunk friends
"Fuck no. We'll pay $25." -me
"What?!? NO! We'll pay $30!" -dumb drunk friends
"Your negotiating friend is smart..." -limo driver
