Steppin' Out: CLUB LOTUS, NYC

Its time for "Ladies Nite-Out" once again! Received an invitation to a French movie screening last night, so I checked out Club Lotus with a few friends. Got there late - tucked hubby and S in bed first, and then I had to sit and listen to P's short litany of "Do's and Dont's".

"Don't drink too much."
"Don't stay out too late."
"Be careful - Don't take a cab home alone."
"DO NOT lose your cellphone again."

"Double-lock the door when you get in later."
"And, oh - have fun, schatzielein."


You are invited to a screening of

“Elevator To the Gallows” (Directed by Louis Malle, starring Jeanne Moreau, in French with English subtitles, music and dancing continues during the screening.)
Presented by Show Biz Magazine and Baird Jones Thursday, May 4, Free admission from 10:00 - midnight LOTUS, 409 W. 14th St. (off 9th Ave.) Private complimentary cocktail reception from 10 – 11:30 on the 2nd floor Free admission for you and your guests from 10 until midnight by saying that you are there for "The Film Party" (ask for doorman Cris AC)

====================================================

The place was crowded with lookies - lotsa eye candy everywhere. The music was great, we couldn't stop dancing! A few Latin mixes came on by 1 AM. No wonder - Happy "Sinco De Mayo", y' all!! I was very pleased with the bartender on the main floor - she was heavy of hand and made me a few really mean cocktails!

They also had a very talented drummer, "Curtis" (above, shown with a friend) who provided much of the "party vibe" by frantically beating his Bongo along with the music.

As promised - got home early (enough) to wake up by 7 AM and get S ready for school. No headaches... No hang-overs... And my new replacement phone? The last time I checked, it was still around - errr, somewhere.
