Day 24: Rainstorms, Dress-Code Faux Pas, and First-time Hawaii Clubbing (J)

Oh man, it rained a lot today.  There's nothing really interesting about that, except that I have realized I hate rain anywhere and at anytime.  While it's still usually warm when it rains, unlike the frigid temperatures and hellish winds that accompany an east-coast rain, I still don't really like it.  Also, maybe it's because I don't have a car here.  Apologies for the whining.

Anyway, at night we went out to The Pearl Ultralounge with Athena and her friend, Beth.  While I thought I had left behind the swank, wannabe super-refined clubs in Hollywood and Manhattan, I was sadly mistaken.  Due to the strict dress-code, Matt, who was wearing black pumas that looked kind of dressy, could not get in.  So, with 15 minutes to spare before the cover charge kicked in, we booked it to the closest shoe-store we could find.  (Right: Matt to the right quickly trying to look for the cheapest "nice" shoes he could find.)

(Look at those white patent leather badboys!)

Once we finally got in, we got pretty wasted and had a really good time.  We hadn't gone "out" out in a while, so it was a nice change of pace.
