This post is a bit late but oh lordy!
I had such an amazing time at the Filter party! I wish I took photos! Free booze and to be announced djs. MC was so right about going to this. We parked at the Augustine Casino and got wristbands and a shuttle to take us to an undisclosed location. After what seemed like an eternity, we were dropped off at the Corona Yacht Club. I know you’re thinking, “Yacht Club in the desert”? Yes! Anyway, the place was actually really cool looking and had a fake lake in the middle of it.
MC and I walked around for a bit and checked out the scene. The djs were Blake Miller of the Moving Units, Cut Copy, and Does It Offend You, Yeah? So exciting! There was no one dancing yet. We got 5 drinks each, in a quick row, and got out to the floor. We saw this boy in a turquoise shirt and white hat who had been circling for a while, and that we were sure wanted to dance!
Had a great time! Danced nonstop until the last dj we wanted to dance to, Does It Offend You, Yeah? Met tons of people, including Brits…who, as I have told numerous people, are automatically bumped up a notch on the attractiveness meter (but I love A). Turquoise shirt told me he was Canadian. Having one too many, I was like “No, you’re not”. To which he said, “Yes, I am Canadian”. To which I said…wait for it…”Say something Canadian”. Seriously. I realized it as soon as I said it (what was I thinking?). He smartly replied, “Yes, I am Canadian…eh?”. I sweetly (sheepishly?) smiled and said, “Okay” in approval. I’m sure I was looking for an “aBOOT”.
So excited for him when we saw him later hooking up with some random girl. Decided that he was our friend but never saw him again.
I also had a conversation with someone…I don’t know who…about the glorious 99 cent 1/2 lb. Bean and Cheese burrito from Del Taco. Don’t ask me how that happened. I think I forgot to mention that it had to be a green burrito and you needed tons of Del Scorcho.
Didn’t find out until after the weekend about the messed up shuttle situation on the way home. Some fight broke out at the party, I guess some shuttles were being shoved around, and they were no longer going to shuttle people and some ended up walking home. So maybe this is why I was trying to memorize how to get to this place on the way in…well I realized I was trying to remember and then thought, this is stupid, a shuttle will take us back…see my subconscious knows better! We must have gotten out just in time because as we were leaving, we remember there was a big rush of people trying to exit right behind us.
