i had fun last night

yesterday at around 4pm, molly reminded me that we had that doheny thing to go to. i was tired and had been imagining myself on the couch in my jayjays reading Watchmen. not wanting to be a big flake, i resigned myself to going. the night was super fun! that's usually how it turns out, i force myself out the door and end up having a great time.

the doheny is this bar downtown where you have to pay membership dues to get in. i've heard different prices; from $2,000/ year to $5,000/ year. i'm too lazy to look up the actual info. go to the angelenic blog for the real deal, i'm sure it's there.

for some reason doheny was open to people without membership last night. all you had to do was rsvp to the dig lounge blog. kogi truck was there, or as i refer to it, "krispy kreme of 2009." there was a huge line for food at the truck and i'll admit i had to play the bun-in-the-oven card to push ahead of my dear friends in line. mochi was so sweet, he went to the garnish table and brought me back orange wedges while i waited.

doheny was classy on the inside. i was expecting flocked damask wallpaper like the golden gopher and broadway bar so it was a nice surprise to see smooth curved wood on the wall and an unfinished loft-like ceiling. the entrance felt so special and nothing at all like other bars. for one thing doheny doesn't employ some weird guido at the door to inspect your license. once you step inside you are in a hall of mirror and glass cases of expensive hooch. it feels quiet and important. once inside the main area it's noisy just like any bar. i quite enjoyed the giant ice cube in my ginger ale even though we all agreed it enabled the bartender to cheap out on your liquor quantity.
