So, I've got a lot of work to do at the moment, it's not exactly thrilling, and getting asked to re-write an analysis of a survey because "partially satisfied" users don't actually count as satisfied is a bit annoying.
I was looking forward to the weekend and going out. I didn't really have much planned but knew some people were going to Culture Bière on the Champs Elysee. I got asked if I wanted to go for a Chinese with some friends from my building but I was already half-way through cooking so ended up going straight to the pub. Anyhow, I had a good time there and, just as we were leaving, one of the girls said she was going to a rock night at a club/venue tonight and asked if I wanted to come along with her and her friend. I figured "why not", I hadn't been to a club since I'd been here and thought it would be good. I'm not usually a clubbing person but as this was rock music I'm not sure it counts as "clubbing". Anyhow, it was fantastic. The venue, Elysee Monmartre, is at Pigalle which you may have heard of as it's the red light district. The venue isn't in the red light end but it's close enough. They played some great music (everything from Franz Ferdinand to The Killers to Blur to The Darkness and then some 80's (the French seem to be obsessed with 80's music) and Elvis) and the hall was pretty big. There's another night next month so I'll try and go again and see if I can get some more people to come.
We left at about 3:30am having got there at about 12-12:30 and caught the night bus back. That was a bit of an adventure as, after my friends got off, I carried on to Pont de Neuilly which was the end of the line. Pont de Neuilly is on the way to La Defense before the road crosses the Seine. So, I got off and crossed the road to wait for the other bus which would take me to La Defense....only to find that the wait was going to be 86 minutes! Standing in the cold at 4:00 in the morning on my own wasn't too appealing so I caught a taxi the rest of the way.
Anyhow, it was a great night and I'll try and go to the next one. Otherwise there's "Night Fever" which I think some of my friends are going to this Friday but I'm not sure about that one yet.
