Zoobizarre

Checked out a new-ish place last night: Zoobizarre on St-Hubert and Beaubien. It's a undergroundish little place that looks like it's in a basement ("batcave") but it's really on a second floor.

It looked a lot smaller when we walked in, and then as we discovered additional coves, well, it got bigger. It also looked a gay bar when we first entered because right in front of us was the DJ, wearing a little sailor outfit??

Tom said we were going to hear some Polish DJs, which is hilarious enough.

The picture I had seen in The Mirror didn't do the place justice. In it, it looked like a cement basement, sort of like this smelly sweaty place in Chile called Bal-le-Duc. Pretty dank. But in real life, the cement is shpaed like stones, so it really looks like a wine cellar or a real dungeon. They just need to improve their lighting, like by setting up fake torches or something.

Anyway, the music was in fact bizarre. I got my dose of Pulp with Razzamatazz and Anorexic Beauty, wicked! Also heard some Tone Loc and a lot of electro-y, 80s-y songs in French.

The women's bathroom had the weirdest grafitti.

1) Neil Diamonds=fag
Neil Diamonds is the guy from The Unicorns and Islands. If I'd had a marker I would've gotten pretty mad at whoever wrote that. Neil Diamonds rules!

2) a big "I love CPC Gangbangs" etc.
That was pretty funny and unexpected. I guess you really *are* doing well with your new album, eh?

This afternoon: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Tonight: XMAS party at Button & Nick's, woohoo!
Tomorrow: brunch with Sarah

The snow is blowing like crazy from the rooftops in front of my window. Scary...
