My friend Gopal came up to Toronto to visit me the other night. It was quite an adventure. When I say that I live "in" Toronto, really I mean I live in the suburbs, just like everybody else who says they live in a big city.
So Gopal and I grabbed a subway to downtown, with our trust friend Captain Morgan joining us for the ride. Alas, a little too soon, we came to our stop. Not knowing the city that well (I only moved here about a week ago), I didn't exactly know where to go to party it up. While walking down Yonge street we saw a shady bar, and being particularly thirsty by this point, decided to grab a beer. I was kinda hoping the inside would be a spectacularly shady joint, just for an awesome adventure. However it was beyond dead. We had a beer, asked the bartender where the "good" bars were, and went on our way.
Top number 2 was a very high class dance club. They barely let us through the doors. And when we finally got in, we realized we were the only ones in the place. There was only one remedy to this situation.. Get Pissed! So we did. I think I angered the man at the bathroom; I let him wash my hands before I realized I had no extra money. Poor chap. Eventually the club turned out to be quite hopping. After getting rejected by a sufficient number of women, my friend and I decided to go to a strip club.
Taxi! To a strip club. Imagine our surprise when he stopped in front of a place called ZANZIBAR. "Smokers Welcome! Hottest Girls in Toro to! Welcome Smokers!" this place just HAD to be classy. Walking in, I finally realized what Tenacious D was singing about. This place. The babes were, to my amazement, quite stunning. And the drinks were quite reasonable (15 bucks for 2 beers! And you want a tip? Fuck off). Anyway, by this point I was fairly drunk AKA fairly generous with my money (haha, right after I refused to give the waitress a tip.. ) I decided to buy my friend his first ever lap-dance. I flagged down this beautiful women, passed her 40, and told her to show my man a good time. 5 minutes later I finished my beer. 10 minutes later the dancer got off the stage. 15 minutes later I got bored. 20 minutes later I finally whipped out my camera and took a picture of myself with a stripper in the background, in my drunken state thinking that it would be hilarious to show my friends this picture later. To make a long story short the bouncers didn't like that too much and ZANZIBAR was the first strip club to ever throw me out. Assholes! I didn't even get my damn lapdance.
The moral? No matter how tempting it is to take pictures in a strip club, don't buy your friend a lap dance. Buy it for yourself.
