So Friday night we set out downtown in search of the action. We did not find it.

What the hell do people do on Friday nights in this town anyway? So we bounce around, slowly getting drunkier and anticipating a meetup at le Colosseum with Sarah Beyers and Ada. We’ve been trying to get Sarah over to see the place since it opened, but couldn’t seem to get it together. So we made plans to meetup via text somewhere afterhours, which were sabotaged by everyone’s cell phone going dead at once. We didn’t find out until the next day, via everyone’s blog, that Ada and Sarah had showed up to Colosseum around 1:25a, but were denied entry by some reportedly bitchy bouncer. Our first thought on this was that the bouncer had taken it upon himself to deny the girls access based on how they looked or acted — since they weren’t actually given any reason why they couldn’t get in at 1:25 — it’s not like the place was at capacity. Upon further investigation, it came to our attention that the city of Providence forbids people from entering clubs and bars after 1a on 2a nights.

Wait, what? But we do it all the time — like, ALL THE TIME — and never get any hassles from anywhere. The trouble is though, that seem police enforce the law at will and won’t bother the silly gay bars across the street while keeping a close eye on Ultra, and now Colosseum right next door. So until the police figure out that Colosseum isn’t the ridiculous whore house that was the Complex, you’d better get your ass over there before 1a on Fridays and Saturdays. After repeating all of this to the girls, they admitted that the explanation did in fact fit the situation — although the gay owners over there have still pledged to make it up to them.

Anyway, Ada showed up at Mythology in her prostiboots Saturday night and we danced the rest of the night with Bomb Dome on that huge dance floor. Then Balloons for god knows what (you know how we love getting wanded at the door of an afterhours strip club that doesn’t even serve liquor), then Therapy for That Kid Chris and Scot Cox until like 6a. Fantastic.
