i woke up around 3.30 today. slept a solid 11 hours or so. last night was great. i got to my friends' place around 11 and had a few drinks. around 12.30, we decided to head out to a party in chinatown. after finding this hard-to-find loft, we had to spend about five minutes explaining to the doorgirl that we had no cash to pay the ten dollar cover. a girl that was with us knew the guy that lives in the loft, so we finally got in for free.

after five minutes or so of my mouth hanging wide open, we found the bar. they served us straight liquor to the rim of our styrofoam cups--my mouth was forced shut after gulping the first sip of brandy. this party was like nothing i have ever (or will ever again) experience. the place was partitioned off into several rooms, tapestries hung from the nearly 20 foot high ceiling, chains attached to metal shelves which held candles were also hung from the ceiling, blacklights everywhere, a webcam hooked up to a laptop which was in turn hooked to a projector distorted pictures on the wall with the help of a man-operated controller. i think you may be starting to get the picture...but there is more. turntables, a percussion section with bongos and such, "spinners" (spin fire) with glow in the dark paint on instead of clothes, another room full of bongs of unbelievable size. the only drawback to this place was its having only one bathroom. i was in awe the entire time we were there. it was the type of party that i knew went on, but didn't know that it could actually be in the dimension in which i am living....:)

we left the party and i caught a cab to my area with another girl that lives in brookline. i took a shower and went to sleep within 30 min of being home. besides the party, i was quite impressed with my friends' new apartment. they are right on top of beacon hill in the center of boston.

today, i really am going to call linda...i'm going to read more of "fortune's rocks," write a letter to my friend, and do laundry. i need to go to the grocery store, but i'm really not motivated to do this, so it probably won't happen. i will probably write again tonight...
