Not sure when it happened, but at some point I got old.. Not yet 33, but standing at a crowded bar last night I felt like I was 60. This is not the first time I've been at a bar, let alone a crowded bar but I've never felt more like wanting to pull the fire alarm.
It's not that I hate bars, a specific ethnicity or crowds but I really hate crowded bars packed with 500 people of the same ethnicity. Why in New York city on the cusp of 2009 somebody would seek out a place packed with only people of ones own ethic group makes me want to jab Kimchee in my eye
Not only do these bars suck cause they are so loud you feel hoarse from screaming all night and thirsty because you can't ever get close to the bar but you feel you are standing in a giant hot meat locker.
Again nothing against meat or lockers but when I feel like I'm in a car wash between some dipsh!t 22 year old dude with a fish-head and some fat thighed chick who smells like a fish, I long for the stability of an Irish pub packed with white people. With these two pressing start to rub up against each other (and inadvertently me) I analyze the situation in the same way I would when I first step onto an airplane. What this is the easiest most direct beeline to an exit.

That place was way too crowded.
ReplyDeleteIt took 30 minutes just to get to the bar.
For such a diverse city its amazing we found the one ethnocentric bar.
best thing about this weekend was the changing of your background!
Pretty strange that you crave an irish bar packed with your own ethnic group. Glass houses my friend...glass houses.
ReplyDeleteat least some people aren't fooled by just a bit irony
ReplyDeletewait, which bar is asian invasion? i sometimes end up at these all-chiney, or all-indian, sometimes it's even more specific. like it's an all-sikh indian party. recently i was at an all-urban people party. now i'm always seeking bars with an older crowd. isn't that sad?!?! i only want to go to bars that are frequented by people who are at least 28.
