New Year's: Speak-Easy

[zoi]

basically, the first half of my new year's eve in raleigh. the second half isn't documented because i was probably under the influence of too many substances to operate a camera. but! everyone is dressed up all pretty!

the unidentified girl with beth looks like this really irritating chick we went to middle school with

[zoi]

yeah, that's what i was thinking. she went to enloe too.. for the two years i was there at least. i can't remember her name though. not that it matters, i'm not seeking her company or anything...

caitlyn? i think it was spelled like that, too.

my martin yearbooks are in my grandparents' attic..... so i can't check.

in other news, my ghia is currently kicking my ass

[zoi]

why's that? is it running?

The unidentified guy looks sort of like dot, but obviously isn't.

[zoi]

unfortunately it isn't, that would make it all a bit easier :P

this picture is a little bit of badass class.

[zoi]

haha.. you act like i put effort into these pictures. these are mere snapshots! :)

[soulhaus]

yes, but, c'mon, there's some art in candids, snapping the photo luckily at just that RIGHT moment. and that one? that one was DEFINITELY a right moment. :)

OK, I know what a speakeasy was.

Where did you have this party at? How did you decide "Let's have a classy party?"

It's looks like it'd be too much for me to handle. I'd be in nice clothes, and then just get entirely too intoxicated.

little ben holds speakeasies. the admission is free but invite-only, with required dressy attire. he rents a high-class suite at a hotel, usually the biggest or nicest one they have. don't quote me on this, but the reason goes somewhere along the lines of giving contrast to our regular party-lives.

i like them because they're different, but being in nice clothes makes me kinda uncomfortable. especially when i'm around a lot of my friends, because it feels so awkward hanging out like we normally do, only in formal attire.

hence, after experiencing some speak-easy, slash and i went to a party of a friend of his, where i changed into jeans and just let loose.

it's not that i don't enjoy the speak-easies, cause i do, but i can't enjoy myself intoxicated while dressed up. and i can't enjoy new years eve to the fullest without a couple substances thrown in. and so, i did!
