Save tonight
 
A night out with Modern L
 
Taking a break from the mediocre, we feel that it is our duty here at The Modern L to broaden your horizons and to give you the best possible options for a smashing night on the town. So we took it upon ourselves to seek out the best nightspots and to get totally hammered on your behalf.
 
The evening started a bit early so we decided to grab some food before our grand adventure. We went to Q's in boksburg to have a drink and kill time by playing a few games of pool. Less than impressed though, as the only music you get to listen to is if someone decides to use the jukebox, and at 5 in the afternoon, there's not many people there so it was mostly surrounded by silence. Also, most of the equipment was out of order which, to me is unacceptable for a place of that size. At least it's a one stop shop. You can chill inside or out, there's plenty of pool tables as well as an airhockey table, a nicely stocked bar and a Bimbo's if the munchies attack.
 
We then got into our pram and gayly wandered off to High Flyers at the Birchwood conference centre in Boksburg. Let the fun begin! 
 
This avation themed pub/restaurant/club has something for everyone. Great food, gorgeous waitresses (wait for it...), an off the hook DJ, only the best in live entertainment and Jagermeister on tap! As we arrived we were greeted by a firecracker named Mandy who was to be our waitress for the evening. She showed us this amazing little gadget on the table that's connected to a device on her arm. This is how it works...One button to call her, one button for an ice cold Amstel, and another button for a round of Amstels. As soon as you push any of these, the device on her arm starts to vibrate. The one we used the most (we probably broke the thing) was to get Mandy to the table. Ingenius invention don't you think. Myself and another mate had a bit of a contest to see who could get dearest Mandy's phone number. She was awesome. She had a comeback for all our pick up lines and flirtations and even gave us all nicknames. When I saw my dear friend falling in love I decided to gracefully bow out of the contest and have fun and dance my ass off with Martha. The service was 1st class though, our glasses were never empty and our table was always graced with fresh Yagerbombs.
 
Real music for real people. We were initially a bit disappointed when we got there as our favorite band, SUMMIT was not performing that night, but was pleasantly surprised when I saw old friends, Call To Rule setting up. Sometimes it's nice to get away from the doef doef that seems to be the only option out there for gay people and listen to some music that touches your soul. Also, club music is not everyone's cup of tea and that's ok, everyone is different. Call to Rule opened up with alltime classic "breakfast at Tiffany's" and kept us entertained until midnight with music from Live, The calling and Collective Soul just to name a few. We shook our asses all night long!
 
For those of you that aren't too keen on the live band thing, there's also a thumping dancefloor downstairs that carries on through most of the night offering the best in commercial club trax. This venue truly has everything. Fine dining, drinks that flow like rivers, amazing service and variety in entertainment, which is very rare. From a modern lesbian perspective, I've been going there for the past four years and I've never felt intimidated or unwelcome or discriminated against and I think my partyclan for the evening would concur!
 
As the evening ended, C got the elusive phone number and surprise surprise, we were all invited back to Mandy's for coffee and being the gentledykes we are, we gladly accepted and offered the girls a ride home.
 
What a night! I think we're all still hung over!
