staying drunk is hard: an update

We’re not really ignoring Bitchidence.com, we’ve just been on the run for days… you know, on the run from sobriety. Honorable? Reasonable? Commendable? Absolutely not, but that doesn’t keep us from having a good time. We just came from the New England Nightlife Expo at Twin River, and it was absolutely out of control. It was like a natural-squeezed concentration of all Providence and surrounding-area nightlife bar staff… but trashed and not even close to being late-night. This equals hysterical-ness.

So anyway, as you can see, we had fun last night. Tuesdays are very clearly the new Saturdays. The fun started around 5:30p at the New England Nightlife Expo at the Twin River convention space. Now we went to this two years ago, courtesy of Z-Bar and it was in the same space, but a fraction of the size. This year we attended with 242′s tix, and it was like a giant, indoor, adult carnival — every booth in place for the express purpose of entertaining you and getting you wasted. How great, right? Not to mention that we’re total whores for company swag — just ask the Svedka ice bucket, Stella beer glasses, Three-O chapstick and pop rocks we took home in our Nylo tote bag.

This leads us to the other treat of the night — the Three Olives booth was encouraging people to put Pop Rocks into their mouths before drinking chilled vodka “straight-up”. Sounds silly? It is! — and totally fun. They literally explode in your mouth! And we know you’re into that.

There were bartending competitions, Red Bull mechanical bull riding — and if the whole thing wasn’t over at 8p, we’re fairly certain that the entire place would have degenerated into something resembling a night at Level2, or Ultra maybe. You may commence kicking yourself now for not going!

Delightful.

Enter friends from the expo (and a Bernard) and we head to Opa. Then Nara. Then Dark Lady — well, you get the idea.

Mess!
