pop quiz

it’s 2:30 a.m. and you’re sitting in a room in amsterdam with a guy cutting his sixth line of coke with a mastercard on an imposter delftware plate and a girl obsessively twisting her hair to the sounds of the blasting yeah yeah yeahs video playing on a dell laptop and you have a 10 a.m. train ticket to the hague and the guy says to you we’re going to this punk club don’t bring anything you don’t want stolen don’t wear anything you don’t want beer on try not to pick any fights want to go?

and the answer i guess is how often are you young and awake in amsterdam with an invitation to a club that’s not in your already well worn lonely planet guidebook, so you get up and go put on your boots.
