My First Night 'Out'

Last night DIS hosted a party for us at Luux, a pretty fancy club in central Copenhagen. It was only for us students and we were given free entry and 2 free drinks. We showed up there around 9:30 and it was pretty cool, everyone was having fun and I saw familiar faces all over.

Got to the bar and learned that our free 'drinks' consisted of either Carlsberg, vodka or rum drinks. And not a pint of Carlsberg but a 10 oz glass, not even a full beer's worth. Whatever, it was free so I shouldn't complain. Well 30 minutes later it was time for another drink so we got in line to wait. and wait. and wait. we stood there or 35 minutes before we could order and surprise surprise, no more beer, no more rum. Only vodka tonic and cranberry juice.

We finished our drinks and went to find a bar where we were supposed to meet a friend. Well, the friend never told us where the bar was and we ended up walking around for about 40 minutes. We eventually stumbled upon it and realized that he wasn't even there and the bar was too full to sit down. Went to another bar; also too full to sit down. It was late and we were tired, time to go home after an uneventful night.

I took my friend home who also lives in Frederiksberg-albeit on the complete opposite side-and waited for the bus. It came...and went as I discovered my metro pass gone. It hasn't left my wallet since I bought it earlier this week and I had it with me when I went to the club. I'm not the sort to be clumsy and drop something from my wallet without realizing it. But for whatever reason I decided to put my wallet in my back pocket that night and the metro pass sticks up about half an inch. I guess someone must have grabbed it as they brushed by me in the crowded club. Not the night out I was hoping for.
