Seriously, what are the chances that there would be two bars down alleys on the same block, right across the street from each other? My friends were all at Spy Bar. I wasn't excited about meeting them in the first place because I knew it would be a hassle to get there and I'd have to pay cover. But it was Rachel's birthday, and since she is my female soulmate, I'd do just about anything for her. So I drove by this bar that I thought was the one I was supposed to be at. I thought this because it was on the right block, down an alley, and there was a line and bouncers and everything. I paid a $20 cover to get in, and Nina texted me and said they were right in front of the dj. They totally were not. So I'm looking and looking and starting to get panicky because I have anxiety issues anyway, and being all alone in a crowded, super trendy bar was about to put me over the edge. And I'm feeling bad because I know I'm ruining Nina's fun because I'm texting her so much, but I was so scared and I didn't know what to do! Finally, Nina made me ask someone what bar I was at, and the guy said Sound Bar. There were no signs that said Sound Bar, and it looked exactly like the pictures I saw on Spy Bar's website when I went online to get directions. I went outside and looked across the street, and sure enough, there was a small sign that said Spy Bar. I felt like the biggest idiot. I've never been so happy to see Nina. Nina is my favorite person to go to bars with. She is silly and fun and loves to dance and grabs you by the arm and drags you away from guys you're making out with (which I guess isn't always a good thing). If some guy tries to come dance with you, Nina doesn't hesitate to tell him to go away. Everybody should have a Nina in their life.
