Los Locos Booze Up 1998

From ICCC

After a manic cylce around North London in search of a Hawaiin Shirt I finally made it down to Southside, only 40 minutes late. Hue too had made the effort and was wearing his pyjama tops, and Tim had shown up in shorts; a brave effort for his first London club! All were quite pleased with their outrageous dress code until Hicksy turned up in Wet-Suit shorts, Skirt (or 'Sarong' as he preferred it to be known as) and LA LifeGuard vest, topped off with a neoprene skull-cap. Hicksy still completely sober (and yes, we do have photos....) was keen to leave Southside so we set off for Piccadilly Circus, and then the club. Several attempts to lose Hicks failed.

On arrival all were pleasantly surprised by the humming atmosphere of the place. There was all ten of us, and bugger all else! Still, as a 'Los-Locus apology' they set upon giving us cheap drinks so we soon forgave them. After our first drink we turned round to see Mr Swede emerging from the toilets without his trousers; he had dropped them to reveal wetsuit shorts that almost out-did Hicksys. Good effort! Off went Adam for a slash, although in response to Sonia's "promise of payment" (OK, maybe not) a few of us followed Adam in and tried to pull off his trousers too. Adam resisted (which surprised some of us) and we have to confess that his trousers stayed on.

Several drinks down the line we sat down for dinner, but not before a Test Tube Experience. Out came our waitress who gave us all a Test Tube full of glowing red stuff; we proceeded to down the tubes with no hands, some complaining that they had been sucking too hard. Again they offered us cheap jugs, so of course we took them, and the meal went well until we noticed the Helium balloons. In our merry state myself, Hue and Hicksy decided to start downing balloons, and sure enough soon all the helium had gone; it was quite a gag at the time but the nauseas feeling that lasted for 2 days may have been in some way connected!??!!?

After the food I think we were all dissapointed when Louise changed her mind and claimed that she would no longer take up the club on their "NO TOPS, FREE BEER!" policy for women. Another hopeful went down to her bra, but stopped there; she didn't even get a half!

The rest of the night was spent Muchus Larging it, some more that others eh Nicola? until the early hours. It was a top night, and with a few mates counted in one of the few Imperial events where women actually outnumbered blokes 9-4 at it's height! So where was the rest of the club then?

Thanks to all for a good night, and hope to see you all in Wales at the w/end.
