At Rach's suggestion I went to the 5th Lapsap party in Palate Palette last night, a first for me. When we got to the door, I found a lot of friends (many TAG friends out on a week night). Some of them had black plastic stickers on them. "Kiss Me", "FB Whore"....Faces from the arts scene. A lot of camera flashes. Girls wearing duct tape / torn clothing / sheer skirts. Electro music and happy people. Shiny lights. Mei Ling (not her name) met a Mei Ling (like, really her name).

There was a guestlist you had to get on before being let upstairs. Some had been miffed when I asked them earlier if they were going for Lapsap, and they were on the mailing list / Facebook group but snubbed for an invite. I shrugged it off. Thought the crowd control might be needed in such a small venue. Turns out - It was still packed - there were a lot of people. The "right" crowd? Seemed like the "secret"  party was an open one amongst certain circles.

By the last few steps up, you can literally feel the heat envelope you in a separate dimension of bodies, sweat and smoke. Every so often, I'd escape downstairs and join the friends taking a break from the heat and body crush for a drink - I had rum and a very girly looking strawberry margarita.

It was nice. I think I was in a lot of silly lookin photos that night. Made some new friends.

I have a post on the Artis Proactiv thing, but going for little parties such as Lapsap have taken away a lot of my usual weekday blogging hours . Meanwhile, I'll be heading towards theProject Bazooka gig in Laundry, The Curve tonight. Deserters, Seven and Furniture will be playing. A lot of people I met in Lapsap intend to go too, so I went from having no temans tonight, to a whole bunch of friends with coinciding social calendars.

Furniture. Deserters. Se7en.
Project Bazooka @ Laundry Bar.
Free Entry.
9.30pm onwards!

 I'm a bit rusty with local band names now, but isn't it Seven? Last I remember, Se7en is a Brad Pitt movie / K-Pop singer.
