A friend’s birthday. He has chosen to dance it out at Side Bar

Fridays @ Side Bar
(Assessment time: 10:30-2:30am)

Address: Corner of George and Pitt St, Sydney
Dress Code: Casual allowed. Hats allowed.
Entry Fee/Cover Charge: Free all night
Crowd: Backpackers from mixed backgrounds
Music: Top 40, Pop, Rock, Rnb, House – general party tunes. So some tunes you’ll like, and some you wouldn’t.
Atmosphere: It was pretty cold outside, so the place hadn’t reached capacity yet.  it was probably 40% capacity. The important bit was that there were people always dancing in the floor area.

Timeline
Feeling bloated
I just felt bloated for the first two hours so I was drinking cups of water non-stop. My dancing wasn’t on par at all. Suddenly, the nauseating feeling that comes from drinking too much earlier, had disappeared! That’s when I started to bust out the moves.

Busting out moves
I was just killing it! Someone I met tonight asked if I was part of a dance crew – no way – i wasn’t good enough. However at the bar, I was definitely the best =) A scottish girl even came up and asked for a dance with me. Later a group of girls see me and readily dance with me as well. That was fun!

People farting
We hung out at the back, and let me tell you, its a bit annoying when you have open room but then someone lets off a fart. yuck. that’s all I have to say about this smelly matter.

Michael Jackon tributes
In the beginning, it was pretty dead in terms of people dancing. Then the DJ starts playing some Michael Jackson. He had died the previous week. People got up to dance. another MJ song, and another, and pretty soon the floor had everybody dancing. We all love this guy.

Coda
We just left due to exhaustion at 2.30am, and there was a slight risk of the place becoming a sausage fest. I would  probably only go here with friends tonight, as it was a little dead compared to other nights.
