Tonight was unbelievably the first night that we could get that everyone was apparently free for a night out on the town. Technically it was also Rehana’s birthday a couple of day’s ago so this was a sort of quasi-birthday do though really because of the sort of random “cliques” of girls that we had attending tonight I was treating it more as a general girl’s night out. Whatever it was labeled we hit On Anon and made it a night to remember. I think my feet will be the part of my body that remembers it most.

When ideas were floated for where to go tonight ideas ranged from Strawberry Moon (not a bad place and popular on a Friday night but it would have been disappointing to me if we’d ended up there considering we had so many weeks to decide on a venue) and then Rehana came up with the idea of Sound. Unfortunately when we turned up it was to find that the venue had been booked out for some sort of private party. Unfortunately we couldn’t blag to get in and even more unfortunately there were loads of scantily clad and I must say extremely fit lads running around topless with only a bow tie on. Hmmf. Too bad I didn’t have my 12x zoom with me …

So, anyway we ended up at the newly revamped On Anon just around the corner.

By the time we got our act together to get into the joint (a relatively early-ish) 8.30pm-9.00pm whilst the place wasn’t exactly heaving finding an area which could seat the eight of us was nearly impossible. We ended up camped on a few bar stools in an awkward spot near some stairs. However, true to our style though, we ended up owning the area for pretty much the rest of the night.

On Anon is a lot larger than you can imagine – with about five floors all playing distinctively different music and all distinctily decorated. Right on the top floor is the lodge where it was oddly relaxing if a bit strange for a bar!

Towards the end of the night one of the girls asked if we wanted to check out the VIP room. It was about 2am and, of the girls remaining, legs were definitely getting a bit weary so we thought a change of scenery would be cool. We were taken to The White Room floor. It’s white, no surprise there, with a long bar on side and the entertaining raised platforms for dancer girls/boys wannabes. We were taken to the larger VIP room but soon realised it was only a way to get us to buy drinks. As nice as it was to have a bit of quiet space (the VIP rooms were practically empty) we were long past having the energy to get any drinks so we snuck out when we could!

We had a fantastic night even though the music was on and off brilliant and awful. The DJ would hardly take requests either so that was kind of frustrating. With all the girls in killer outfits we certainly got a lot of attention from the lads, which is always flattering, though that’s not to say that any of them were particularly luscious. For shame! Sadly, everyone’s favourite was the married and unavailable Alex. Great fun.

However, if there was ever a bigger meat market than On Anon I challenge anyone to suggest differently. Still, most of the guys out on the pull are pretty good natured though I was a bit freaked out when one guy waited for me to come out of the toilet (and considering I was in there for probably 20 minutes as well trying to fix my spanx!) to try and get my number.
