On Sunday night, nice and jolly from a few twilight bevvies at the Beach Road Hotel i headed down to the Bondi Hotel to see the Hell City Glamours and The Casanovas. At the entrance the bouncer looks down at my stylin new thongs and says i can’t get in without proper shoes. And i’m like, "I want to pay $12 to see some music at your establishment, i’m dressed well and not a drunken goon". But there was no persuading him. He proceeded to reject several other well dressed men and women simply based on their thong wearing.
That’s the most braindead door policy for a bar directly opposite Bondi Beach. Thongs are the de riguer footwear for most beach goers. And the Bondi Hotel is a really ordinary bar anyway, only worth frequenting because of some decent bands playing for a change. I won’t be back in a hurry.
In other news i’ve uploaded my going out pics from the past week. You’ll see various things such as drinks at Alex and Fleurs, a Triple J newsreader, knicker flashing, jumping, coffee, Toby Schmitz, ice cream, Spanish dancers and more.
Clearly they had you sniffed the moment you sidled along. You may have spent most of the weekend in their famous suburb but you obviously didn’t fit the mould of any of their three approved target audiences:
- drunken, dead-head surfers
- backpackers
- more backpackers
now that I think about it, I’m offended they let me in!
Seriously… who is this Toby Shmitz?
oh darren, you poor unenlightened schnookems.
toby schmitz is a hot actor, writer, seedy bar frequenter and owner of the most adaptable last name EVAR.
Schmitz is the hottest of hott
I………….see…
*slowly steps away from thread…*
Maybe no shoes would have been more acceptable..
I’m schmitzing just thinking about him.
Toby was my tutor at NIDA.. incredible actor and one insanely hot young man.. thats right.. he knows my name..
