make the pounding stop.
there exists a place... a place so evil, that it has been known to rip out your very soul, tear you away from all you've ever known, and re-shape your moral fibers.a place, that while festering in it's own filth and impurities, it gains strength because of those very things, because no one can stay away.
it is known only as:
LA STRADA
(i'm hearing a collective sigh of "ah yes" from all the houstonians out there)
it is freakin 4 am, and i am pretty sure i'm still drunk, from those 2 bellinis i drank.
"why sarah, 2 bellinis couldn't possibly make a girl THAT drunk" you say. i won't argue with you, because 2 REGULAR bellinis can't make a person too drunk. but 2 la strada bellinis can.
they have a secret recipe, that, according to urban legend, is comprised of everclear, champagne so cheap even i wouldn't drink it, and crack rock from the local transients.
doesn't sound appetizing, but it all comes together and is quite tasty, i must say.
it all starts off so innocently. it's 11 am on one of houston's only gorgeous days we'll have this year, and you want to cherish the moment with good friends, good food, and maybe a cocktail or two.
you say "i am not going to stay long", and 4 hours later, you're dancing on a table, with strangers you've told are your new bff's, dancing to golddigger, shooting lava lamps and screaming "i can't feel ma legs!!!"
its a bad bad place, and i'm never ever ever going again. i pinky swear.
hehe

That's why i start at Farrago's - they use a better grade of champagne and if i make it to La Strada i'm good to go and can swear off the bulldozer bellini's or curse the champagne gods when i cave and am dancing with a boa and mardis gras beads while dancing with men who i have no chance with b/c they swing the other way- ah good times - can't wait to see the photos -
You women. You only like pounding when it suits you, and then you just want to have it stop when you grow weary of it. ;-)
somehow i think youre lying, sarah....
Makin' me thirsty. I want one!
I've never heard of the place. I think I need to come visit you guys.
