Kings Square with Jas

LS and TE were both away with work so I was preparing for a quiet weekend. That changed when JC msgd me to go out to Market Grounds in Kings Square. Was expecting to have 3 quiet drinks but ended up having 7. It was busy and what could be labeled as an “LS Crowd” (Lost Society crowd); this is the type of crowd that you would normally see in Lost Society. Characteristics are: young-ish (this is not necessary though); a little edgy; pride themselves on appearance; can be in big groups (i.e 5 women or 5+ guys); possibly popular or influential; like attention; and will get angry if you try and push through them... you have to be wary.

We were there by 9, which is early for us. This was good because it meant I could stay out for a few hours and still be home by 12am. I was tired like usual, Jas just wanted to relax and enjoy the liberation of a Saturday night. Like I said, it was pretty busy and hard to get to the bathrooms on the other side of the building as the dance floor in between was fairly packed. Sometimes in these situations you just have to drink as there is not much room for anything else and you just need to relax so you don’t get into any fights.

I had 7 vodkas; Jas, similar. Jas wanted to stay out but we eventually called it a night around 1130. Market Grounds was pretty cool but I don’t know if it will last long as new venues in Perth always have trouble once the initial hype wears off. Nonetheless, Yagan Square and Kings Square (also the bus depot which is pretty cool), have definitely created an amiable integration between clean, respectful Perth and dodgy, nightclub Northbridge. 

Still can’t believe it’s November. SD.
