Melyn's Hag Do
Last night I went to Dylan and Melanie's stag do/hen night, which for convenience's sake we shall call Melyn's hag do.
We started off at the Pearl Garden Chinese restaurant in Newmarket, and had many plates of many delicious foods. I think my favourite was the cashew chicken, but then I'm a Pakeha, so I would.
Unlike stereotypical stag dos and hens' nights, there were no plastics boobs, blow-up sheep, nylon bridal veils or penis necklaces. No, the hag do was far more civilised than that. We had 10 pin bowling.
We went up to the bowling alley atop the car park on Khyber Pass. From the outside, the bowling alley stop the car park is somewhat of an architectural monstrosity, but on the inside it's got everything you need for a good night out.
I played a couple of a games, got a couple of strikes (see, all that Wii bowling has payed off), but also managed to suck. I shocked the lads with my left-handed bowling. OMG. I'm left-handed.
After that we taxied up to Forde's bar on Anzac Ave. I've always been curious about Forde's. It's on the top floor of the old Station Hotel, offering panoramic views of Foodtown, the stadium and some apartment buildings. But, due to a quirk in downtown Auckland's coastal geography, it's also on the ground floor, so there were no stairs to climb.
Forde's is an awesome bar. If I was going to be an alcoholic and I need a regular, this would be it. Mr Forde, the proprietor, is everything you want in a pubman.
We all played a bit of "I have never", with the unsurprising conclusion being that we are all awful people.
Afterwards the party was reduced to me, Melanie, Dylan, Morgan and this guy called Glen. We all wandered down to Showgirls, and this is where things got really exciting.
There was a large group of girls standing outside Showgirls. Now, having spent a year catching the 11.40 bus across the road from Showgirls, I know that usually the only people who stand around outside it are the sort of men who are regular at Showgirls, and strippers on fag breaks. So it was obvious that something was up.
And there he was - Lukas Rossi of television's "Rockstar: Supernova" fame. Dylan took some pics. OMG!
Lukas is really short and I could totally beat him up. He was surrounded by heaps of excited girls who all seemed to want to have sexual relations with him. Why? He's short. He's not hot. It can't just be that he was on the telly and he was in a band.
Knowing that nothing could really top that, we had hot chocolate and then called it a night. And a rad night it was.
