warhol party k-style

deery-lou.
once again i found myself subway bound to head into seoul for an evening of drinking, dancing, and music. the festivities started out at chen's nabi jib house warming party. although the weather was crap [it was raining] it didn't stop a few die hards to enjoy drinking on a rooftop in hongdae. i managed to polish off two glasses of wine and 1.6 liter of ob beer. i love that its called ob. if only they knew. the party came to end around 9:30pm when we all decided to head out for the evening. there were alot of different events happening so once we all got to the destinated area we split off. betsy and i went to chill at seom for a bit. we had some mojitos and chatted about buffy the vampire slayer. sigh...oh how i miss you buffy. after our drinks were done we decided to head off to club aura for the 60's velvet underground party they were hosting. upon our arrival a korean ska band was playing. they pretty decent. after them was a band called nunco who had a very 80s feel to them. they looked very devo-ish. the leader singer had on a motorcycle helmet and one of the other members had a searchlight on his head. hmmm...one of their songs reminded me of the b-52's circa planet claire. the final band of the evening and the sole reason we were there was the mustangs. once again these guys completely rock. they even brought out two body builders to flex during one of the songs. as if it could get any better. not really a fan of the muscle boys but they definitely nice to look at. the crowd was definitely rocking out. it was great. i felt so alive. thats what their music does for me. happy, happy. after the gig they had a dj playing tunes. we spent the rest of the night there dancing and drinking. we finally left around 3:30am. outside we ran into chen and decided to check out club ff for some dancing. that was bust seeing that the music completely sucked. chen and i decided to call it a night. which was probably wise since at this point i had a splitting headache. back at chens we chatted for a bit they eventually passed out.

on sunday chen and i chilled out on her rooftop for most of the day. it was a beautiful day. eventually we headed out and made our way to hanam market [the international market]. finally after 3 months of planning to go there i went. got myself some flour tortillas and 2lbs of cheddar/monteray jack cheese. the cheese cost me $12. it still kills me knowing i paid that much but its so worth it. we then stopped off in haybanchon for lunch. haybanchon is close to the military base and itaewon so you can only imagine the crowd. we went to philly's for some western grub. i had a sheperd's pie and fries. the food was awesome but the group of westerns there were quite annoying. while we were there they managed to bash australians and gays. chen and i just looked at each other. this is why i avoid this area. people like that suck. after our meal we headed back to the subway were we parted ways. it was time to go back to ansan and veg out. which is exactly what i did.
