    Last night was animated.

    Ended up going to the jungle thing in the CBD.

    First time at a nightclub someone trying to sell me a pen and ket at the same time. Kids are different these days.

    Good jungle though.

      What is a pen in this context?

        No pingers.

        Those were the days :(

        Just $16 pints. Was tempted by the horse tranq but I’m not a horse anymore.

          I never understood ket as a party drug. It’s like the complete opposite.

          Beer is good, not for $16 a pop, but still.

            Half a tab of acid, a bump of ket every two hours, enough booze to stay tipsy, a day of sunshine and 2000-2010 bush doof trance was peak drug use for me.

            A little bit of ket is a wonderful thing.

              Given the surroundings I can see that. Dark room nighttime raves with cheap exstasy made ket a silly option.

              Now, the day after on the comedown…made dealing with reality slightly better.

        I asked them if they had their pen license (they were kiwi) and they said they don’t have that over there.

          It’s called a Pin licence over there. Maybe they didn’t understand you.

          Pen license is very much an Aussie thing. When my kids got theirs I had no idea what it was.
