Dignified and dirty

So, my birthday night out ended up spanning the full spectrum from classy and dignified all the way through to downright filthy. I'd say that was quite an achievement really.

First stop of the evening was the Black Rose to catch a portion of the their classic recital. It's something I've been meaning to do for an age but I've always been distracted by other things.

It was, of course all very dignified. A captivated audience sitting in quiet reverie of the accomplished quartet of musicians delivering an emaculate performance.

The amphitheatre that housed the performance was equally stunning. Definitely glad I dressed up for this one otherwise I would have looked awkwardly out of place in something more casual.

Next up was a visit to an old favourite and yet another classy joint. I make the same point every time that I visit the Jazzy Lounge but this place was an old regular for me that I rarely get chance to visit these days. Every time that I do visit, I feel like it is noteworthy enough to talk about it.

Eight years on from my first visit and nothing has really changed. Sure, they may have moved to one or two different rooms over the years and the decor may have evolved slightly over time, but the fundamental essence of what makes the Jazzy Lounge so great remains the same.

On a day where I am so acutely aware of how quickly time flies, it's heart warming to not only see Lore doing what she does so well, but some many other faces who have made themselves part of Jazzy Lounge folklore. The fact that so many of them are still there every Friday noght after so many years should tell you a lot.

And I was very popular with them this week as Lore ordered an opening of a very fancy (I presume anyway) champagne to celebrate my birthday. I think everyone got a glass although mine was probably the only one that remained full as I'm not a drinker. Therefore, I used my glass purely for doing cheers.

And finally, after keeping things classy all night, I had one final stop which would get very dirty. 

I should say that this was not at all in my plans, but as I left the Jazzy Lounge, I noticed that another old favourite of mine was open for the first time for quite a while. I've posted many times about how much I love The Masturbation Party but I'd assumed that it was now a thing of the past that we'd never see again.

Putting aside that it is Masturbation Month, that's one place that I would not have been able to resist paying a visit to, even if it was just to drop in a see what they had done with the place. However, it is Masturbation Month and fapping is pretty much all that is on my mind at the moment, so I think you can see where this is going.

I'll save the juicy details for this week's fap recap but here's a little teaser...
