Overrated for exclusiveness

Last night, somehow we ended up in the Cross @ 11.30pm. We knew someone in this club, I think it's called "La Piano" or something to that effect. Anyways, we walk inside and meet up with my friend's cousin. We're told there's a secret room in the back, which you can only access with a pin access.

I walk inside, and notice this spacious area. There's a DJ playing, bar, massive dancefloor area. Booths with tables line up the right hand side. Except the whole joint is totally empty. Curious we push on, to the "secret room". We're told we can only go in a few at a time.

I don't really notice the keypad access, but she opens the door and we are let inside. We wait just inside the door and there is a small bar immediately in front of us. Its dark and it looks like a smallish room. Immediately someone sets upon us and tell us its a private function. We just let my friend's cousin do the talking and we manage to stay in there.

I look around, and basically a very very small room, with another connected room next to it. The place is packed............with 15 people (if that!). Yeah, the place is going off. There's two guys wearing some kind of really really old school rich gentlemen outfits with padded shoulders and wigs. Totally random crowd of young people. Not really sure what the hell was going on.

But I know this - its definently not worth it! Totally overrrated, and built up my expectations.

In case your wondering, the place is right next to Candy's Apartment on Bayswater Road (opposite hugo's lounge). the key code for the room is 1669 but it ain't worth it. Trust!

tonite, i'm heading to "The Rebirth of Soul" at The Basement. they are playing a bunch of covers from guys like Maxwell, Lauryn Hill, D'Angelo. Mostly contempoary soul artists. Should be an interesting crowd. The place does't have the best acoustics, but looking forward to chilling inside to some nice music.

I'm out like exclusive clubs in Cross,
