london trip: wild night

for the first time in my life i was out until 5am
yes, ladies and gentleman, 5am

went to the bar suggested by my bearish friend
nice little stroll through a scary part of town
not really - just hadn't been there before and it was dark (1opm)
as expected my name wasn't on any list
10 quid (slang for pounds) later i was drinking 2 pound guiness'

the first room was a large, dimly lit room with a bar and a coat check room
oh yeah, and a train rumbling overhead...creepy
then a few short steps - that I would later stumble down - to a huge dance floor
great tunes - danced for the first time in years
a ramp lead down to a smaller dance area - not as great tunes
small bar at the back of this room and a doorway to something dark

i wonder what's down this dark hallway?

and then it was 5am
