It doesn't seem so elite

Last night, Puppy and I hit the Yelp elite event at The Cafe. I was interested in seeing the million-dollar renovation and partaking in all the free drinks and food that was promised.

The new space is a big improvement over the old layout - it's more open and more modern - but why did they insist on keeping the random vending machine on the second floor? The bags of Fritos do nothing to enhance the vibe they're trying to sell.

It was sort of strange to be in The Cafe with a crowd that was mostly straight and Taiwanese. But we made the most of it and sipped on the complimentary rum/pineapple juice/grenadine concoctions and I enjoyed when they played Damaged.

We also saw this guy, who looks like he's been skipping his cardio workouts and who's in severe need of a haircut. His wavy hair is growing out and the bleached tips of his hair simply look unkempt.

When we tired of the Yelp scene, we made it to Juanita MORE's Booty Call for a bit, where we ran into old friends like Lezzies N&P and Beetle. It's been a long time since I've gone out on a Wednesday, but fortunately it was an early night and I'm not feeling any nasty side effects today.
