DH's 30th birthday party review w/ pics

Ok I have to say I was so nervous about how everything will turn out, and it turned out better than I even hoped. I even got there so early bc I was afraid of BQE to williamsburg traffic and I got to the place in 25 mins so got there an hour early but 5 people got there as soon as I did so good thing I got there so early. I think about 60 ppl came. The party was held in the room upstairs so we had it all to ourselves. It looked even better than I expected. Found so comfy and lots of room for everybody. There were couches throughout, even a stripper pole lol but it was all red velvet couches, black ottomans and leopard too, had a bordello style, even the lighting was red for most of the room. There was even some couches by the window when you went a few steps up, and then up against one wall you climed up this ladder and there was a nook you can hang out in, with pillows and stuff inside. I had such an amazing time Dh was so happy to see everybody who came out for him and he absolutely loved the place. It was like we had a whole lounge/club to ourselves but had more of a home type feeling. The service was also great, the bartender we had was awesome and so nice and the manager was really on top of everything and kept me up to date with everything and constantly made sure everything ran smoothly. There was also an outside garden with heated lamps for those who wanted to go out and smoke. After DH arrived, the 2 dancers showed up maybe 30-45 mins later to perform. I only have pics of 1 dancer though bc th other one asked us if it's ok we don't take pics of her while she dances but she started off with a feather dance which were 4 big feathers that she used to cover herself and dancing with that and then after uncovered and had underwear and tassels on. DH loved the dancers of course lol. Also the girls did a tassel lesson, so 5 of us girls bought the tassels and then did a lesson with one of them. Since most of us didnt want to do this in front of everybody we went to the bathroom to do this lol it was so funny and interesting. Everybody kept telling me how much they liked the place, DH was extremely happy so that made me happy. He loved the GQ mock magazine, everyone got a kick out of it. Hmmm don't know what else to say about it but i definitely recommend this place if youre looking to throw a party, i had the best time and the space is great, loved the look and manager was great to work with. The night was definitely interesting, one of dh's favorite parts was when at the end of the night there was a crate with a garbage bag inside, i thought it was one of the black ottomans so i went to sit down and fell right in lol.

Heather I read your thread and OMG that is so funny, I had no idea you were related to Heather. We're you at her son's christening? I wonder if you were there, it was a while ago but just wondering.
