Look! It's a Magic Mercedes Bus!

11pm on a Wednesday night - do you know where your magic Mercedes bus is? The night finally introduced my friends to the magic Mercedes van, owned and driven by the cool & collected Sebastien. Have a couple of drinks @ 999 with Cherry Island J. Willy before flying down Columbus in the van (blasting HOT 97) to pick up Wholly Foods and Lara Croft Tomb Raider. First stop: SubMercer. Martinis that weren't really Martinis, Stella Artois, drinking games, blends, mussIC. We chill there until 2am or so, before heading to Le Poisson Rouge? strange stop, indeed, we only stay for twenty minutes before going to Employees Only (510 Hudson St.) for a night cap, Maker's on a bunch of rocks. It's 345 in the morning and we are all very drunk and tired; we hop in the magic bus! and magically, it takes us home. In bed with Ron Weasley by 430. YOU HAVE TO LOVE WEDNESDAYS.
Wiki Wiki Wiki --- FLash forward to yesterday/night, another snow-induced coma of a day in the city. I fucking hate snow, I really do. It annoys me. Head down in the e. village around 430 to do some Edward III deals; after that's done, dinner/mezcal @ Mayahuel - delicious. Paella del Mar. Scallops, Shrimp, Clams, RICE!!! OMG, best dish ever. Deer Hunter comes for a Negra Modelo, and we're off to Asian Pub @ Cooper Sq., first time I've been there in nearly two years. Good thing, too, I usually black out. $4 drinks all the time, drinks that taste like shit but are really strong. Meet up with Deer Hunter's friend, T, and we are yellow-ing to the Ace Hotel. One, maybe two drinks, and we're cabbing to Williamsburg bar, Royal Oak. Drinks there with T and D. Hunter, then it's off to gay bar Metropolitan until 3am. Metropolitan was cool, D. Hunter was my guardian. Long subway ride home (L --> 1); squat while eating leftover pasta in my kitchen at 4am, bed a few minutes later. <3 Wed/Fri combos. Always order the Wed/Fri combo - while it can be expensive, it is delicious!
Before I sign off I'd like to give a special shout-out to my good friend Devin - I hope she doesn't mind me using her real name - and her new blog, Nothing Than Something. It's brand spanking new, only two days out of the womb, and it's fucking dope. Everyone check it out. Music, fashion, movies, quotes -- not to mention the design & colors are legit. <3 you, Devin.
