Edmonton, I think I love you

Just got home from the shortest drive home ever on account of I slept the entire way except for the brief stop in loyd for icecream :)
So the following will be an extensive retelling of all that went down:

Friday:
So it started off with Liz picking my excited ass up from home, then we got Kat and Kayla. Stopped at Tim Hortons on circle for their breakfast, and then we were off. The weather while driving there was so horrible. First it was raining like crazy, then after we got out of Lyodminster it started to sleet then blizzard :( Only when we were about half an hour away from Edmonton did it clear up and get all pretty.
Decided to go to the Olive Garden for supper before checking in. I kinda hated it, not gonna lie haha. The bread was too salty, the garlic in my pasta was overpowering, and I hate when pasta sauce is so greasy its better resembles soup.

Then we hit the LB to get some pre-drinking stuff. Went to the hotel, got all dressed up and caught a cab to White Ave.
I love white ave, its basically a huge broadway with every genre of bar on it. First we went to a pub called the Black Dog. Note to self: don't go back to the black dog haha. I was standing at the bar to get a drink and this short chick in black cargo pants and dirty hair shoulder checked me and gave me the stink eye. So I didnt feel too welcome :(
So we left there and went to Twist. The music was pretty decent, techno and such and the layout was super fancy. But the downside is that everyone who showed up looked like they had just finished watching a marathon of Jersey Shore >_< .
Next stop was one of my favs of the night, Suite 69. The bouncer was standing by this smaller door and a bigger one and I was confused as to which one to go in. He looked like a smaller version of arnold swazenegagtrfsf and he asked me where I wanted to go, and I said Suite 69. Then he pointed to the stairs, and for some reason I asked if it was upstairs to which he laughed and said yes. As i was walking past he stopped me and was like "just so you know, its on the second floor"
-_- gee thanks. So i think he thought i was pretty dur. The music there was super good tho. Some of the best remixes of old and new songs i've ever heard.

Last stop of the night was The Iron Horse. Its pretty much a larger version of the skuz haha typical top 40s music. The layout of the place was super awesome tho, second floor and everything. Oh, and of course the dancefloor had a stripper pole.
While we were waiting in line to get in this guy named Stewart started talking to us. He was pretty cool at the time, 24, tattoos all over, mohawk type thing. When we went to the bar to get a drink he bought us all a shot, so thats how our friendship of sorts began haha. His one friend Evan was very very very fond of Kat :) So they pretty much did their own thing and talked/danced all night. Everyone exchanged numbers by the end of the night and we planned to meet up again the next night.

Saturday:
For some horribble reason, whenever I drink I always wake up stupid early, no matter how late I go to bed. That morning was no different. I was up at 7 a.m. :( so I took a shower, and no one was up yet so I went for a walk downtown, called my sister for an early monring chat. And still no one was up haha.
Eventually everyone got up and we headed to west ed to do some mad shoppin :) I didnt get as much a s i thought I would have. a couple of top, a dress, jacket and belt. But it was enough for one day I suppose. After spending like six hours there we went over to the area where Ikea is, stopped at FatBurger for the most delicious burger of all time! SO good. Then we cruised Ikea, and I got a set of kitchen cooking utensils haha oh random purchases.

Went back to the hotel, got all dolled up and went to the one place I had promised Iwould go to at least once in my life; the stripclub. We went to this place called Dimonda Gentlemens club. Apparently its about as classy as you can get in Edmonton. basically it wasnt as bad as one would expect. I wanted to hug the stripper named Britney, she just got yelled at by such nasty looking dudes :( but instead we tossed loonies at a bucket she held between her oh so naked legs and we won a couple of posters haha. I love playin games, its like a mature version of gambing at the Ex.

After that we drove back to the hotel, the walked over to The Bank ultra lounge/bar haha. It was pretty decent i suppose. The dancefloor was toosmall, and every seating area upstairs seemed to be VIP so no one could sit anywhere. They had this winding staircase into the basement tho, and as soon as you went down you were in the dark, the music had a whole new feel to it. I liked it down there :) we got to chill.

Stewart and Dallas and Evan showed up too. So Kat was pretty smitten :)
So we drank and visited with them until midnight then it was LIZ'S BIRTHDAY!!!! haha so it was down to buisness and she had to do like five shots in five minutes :) So after that my lovely was pretty done and ready to go.
Kayla, Liz and I went back to the hotel. Kat stayed at the Bank with Evan. Kayla was tired and went to bed so Liz and I decided to go on an adventure. We walked alot farther then I thought we did haha. Liz kept saying how she wanted pizza, and I was super bummed cause nothing was opened at 2 in the morning haha. Im used to being in Stoon where when you get out of the bar theres a few places within walking distance to go and eat something.
Then, like a miracle, we found a pizza place that was open haha. So we went there, some old guy questioned the awesomeness that was my headband. Got some sub par pizza that later made me feel yucky.
Then we went back to the hotel. Kat came home. Went to bed

Sunday:

All in all it was a super good weekend :)
