That's where i went last night. Despite being in my 3rd year here i've never been there before. We queued for an absolute AGE to get in. Over half an hour. I needed to pee so bad it made the wait bloody awful. We finally got in sometime after 11pm and dashed to the loos. I have to say my impressions of Gatecrasher were not what i had been expecting. I envisioned it being quite classy and even pretentious but no! It was quite nice inside but not as posh as good ole Oceana. I wore my shoes and a skirt but there really was no need. There were quite a few girls in there in jeans and trainers.
Queueing at the bar was like being in a rugby scrum. It really was quite vicious. I HATE queuing for drinks!! We drank quite a lot at home but the effects had well and truely worn off after the queuing in the cold. I therefore bought 2 double vodkas so i didn't have to queue for a while. This theory didn't work because i drank them really fast and was soon thirsty for more. After a while we decided to try the bar again. It was fucking hopeless. After waiting for 20 minutes squashed up against strangers it became obvious it was a lost cause and we gave up. This is probably why i don't feel ill today, i couldn't get enough booze in! I don't know why there weren't more bar staff on. Totally crap.
The dancefloor was rammed and we got pissed off with it so 3 of us decided to leave. For some reason, housemates V and P decided that we couldn't say to the other 2 that we wanted to go home but had to make an excuse to leave or they'd be pissed off at us. So we invented a ridiculous story that P had been break-dancing/hiphopping out too strongly and had been asked to leave by the bouncers. Absolutely hilarious - as if!! They actually believed it too.
Taxi home was a rip-off as usual. Followed by pizza and dancing on my bed again. Sorry again to the neighbours.
I would definitely go there again because Fresher's Week is always rammed everywhere so not a true reflection of places.
I've got to go get ready to go hat shopping with V now. Decided we need hats for winter. bye for now!!
