What’s The Best Night Out You’ve Ever Had?
The best night I ever had with my clothes on is maybe a night I spent in Queens in a Trinidad styled bar full of people during a power cut. The owner put candles on the bar and drinks were on the house we drank and talked about life till about 7am nobody left, no drunken fights, no beef but lots of jokes and I got a ride home too.
