Ok, I get off the train, look around and spot the store that I can get my coffee. I go in, purchase my coffee and get hit on by 2 transvestites! Well, I am in alphabet city right? LOL I leave, walk to the correct street and make the right on the block of the restaurant. So, I do my usual and hang out outside of the place trying to finish my coffee. ^_^

I walk into the place named RAGA, a friend of Andrew (Andrewkrap) owns this place, and immediately see Andrew and Abel ( ) at the bar. We greet each other and decide to get a table. Later on, David (Dpuma18), Zeus and Mel join us.
We all have some good conversation and gossip about TFers. The food that we had was excellent as was the service! After more talk and some drinks, we left to go to SAKEBAR DECIBEL. We all had different kinds of sake served from the Japanese hosts, had some more talk and then decided to go to another place.

So, we hop in Abel's car and make our way to a place I believe is called DEWEY'S. We all made our way in to pay the $5 cover charge. I gave the guy a $20 dollar bill and told him take out for Mel and me. He hands me back 2 $5's and a $20 for change? Hahaha, well, of course I show him the mistake and give him back the $20. He was very grateful and I knew that we would have a good time at this place LOL

We all make our way upstairs to where the dj is who is a friend of Andrew and Abel. The dj is rocking the house with 80's music. I turn around to look for David, but he isn't anywhere to be found. I go back downstairs to see if maybe there was a problem with him getting in. Well, what did I find? David is dancing with 2 blonde ladies who just grabbed him onto the dance floor hahaha. This guy is smooooooth LOL

We go back upstairs and settle in at a table, order some drinks and enjoy the music. Within a minute or so, David is on the dance floor making his way into a bunch of ladies that were dancing. Yeah, David is super smooth LOL. Everyone else at the table starts to "chair dance." (dancing while sitting down). Mel is in a particular mood this evening and decides that she doesn't want her picture taken, so, of course I take her picture at regular intervals hahaha. Well, Mel also decides that she would hit me at her leisure as well. Damn, I have black and blues all over my arms (thanks alot Mel!)

I was lucky in a way because she also decided to beat on Zeus for a while (who also has black and blues LOL). As some songs were played, Andrew, Abel, David and sometimes Mel would all get up and do the wild thing. We had a good time dancing, that's for sure. I would recommend this place also as a good place to party...really good atmosphere!

After we all left Dewey's, Andrew and Abel had to leave. So, we all said our goodbye's to them and look forward to hanging out again soon. Andrew and Abel are some really great guys and it was an absolute pleasure to hang out with them....thank you guys!

Zeus, David and me follow Mel around Manhattan as she decides where we will go next. We went to this one place and sat at a table and watched Mel keep sticking her finger into the lit candle glass? She did this over and over again...bah mak mak!! We had just missed the live band and decided to go elsewhere.

We take a cab to some club and as we left the cab, some other people got in. Some guy yells in our direction holding up a wallet! Yep, Mel left her wallet with all her id in the cab. Good thing this guy had a good heart and decided to return it. After Mel got over the shock and of course abuse from Zeus, she was very grateful. We hung out a while in this place that was called the "red lion." Afterwards, we all decided to go home.

Mel got in a cab and the 3 of us walked to the train station.

All in all it was a fantastic night and I really hope we can all do this again. Some TFers couldn't make it this time, but next time we should have even more fun with more people ^_^

Oh, I will post pictures when I get them developed. Also, check Mel's profile and or journal as well as Anrewkrap's for pictures. See you guys next time at the next TFNYC event!

p.s. excuse my writing style as I have a bit of a hangover today LOL
