so...could it be that Avantt was semi-disappointing? Yeah it's true...we got there at a little past 1:30 am, almost missed the free entry...
and there was a line around the corner, so misleading...and once we got in, there was a massive coat check...I quickly found Zelmar, I had actually seen him walk up while we were in line, I still get the little 13 year old jitters when I first see him...I freak out like he's a rock star...anyways, I went up and said hi after the chaos of the coat check and it was barely 2am and they already opened up the bottom floor, they don't usually open it up until 3am but I realized that they weren't playing music on the top floor. So we go down there and that weird guy who usually walks around and oversees the production of things, whether its the bar or the dj or just chilling with people, he was djing...and I'm sorry, he should just stick to chilling, because his djing skills were not up to par with the other guys. He did play some good stuff, that I was in love with, like Revolution and Break on Through and Hendrix and other great stuff, but I could tell most people werent into it. Also, he played the strokes twice, I was so good with that, but everyone in the club seemed so bored.
Add to that the fact that I went back upstairs to the restroom and the whole top floor was deserted and the lights were on. The chaos at the beginning was misleading, there really wasn't anyone at the club, and the music wasn't keeping people in.
But I danced like crazy, I LOVE that place, but my friends werent feeling it. So they started trickling out and when I was left with two other kids who also wanted to go, I decided to run through the club and try to find Zelmar and say bye to him for the last time. No luck, but they did play an AWESOME cover of Michael Jackson, I swear, no club can go one night without paying homage to that man, it's amazing! But I went upstairs back to the coat check and I found Zelmar! and I said bye, took a pic, very little 13 year girlyness of me, and it was anticlimatic but still great. That song was playing in the background, that song I always equate with my 80's Molly Ringwald self, the angsty one...idk what it is... but I know it when I hear it, it's kinda haunting...ah, I'm still not sure if I should've stayed, I kinda wanted to. Zelmar was so shocked I was leaving so early, but like he said, no habia buena onda esta noche...triste triste, but I'll always have the pic and the fact that he and Cecilia introduced me to that place, too bad I didnt get to say bye to her though...sadness.
So I was back home and in my pjs at 4am, so anticlimatic, but I guess its the end, eh? and I did have a lot of other great times, and thats all that matters!
