The Roxxy- Saturday, 10/30/2010

Hubby and I picked up my Chippy up at 8:30 PM and made it to Delaware Ave. by 9:15 PM. Hooray for light traffic!  We haven’t been down there since Sugarhouse opened so we did a lap and checked things out before landing a parking spot on the street, right across from the club.  I have to say that I LOVE the crosswalks they installed for the casino.  You used to have to climb over a big weird median thingy which was not fun while intoxicated and wearing 5” stilettos. 

Since there was no line our “skip the line” privilege was wasted but we didn’t mind.  As we were being patted down 3 school busses full of drunken Villanova students pulled up and a line began to form.  It was a sign of things to come for sure.  Once inside we were quickly introduced to our VIP hostess Sandy and taken up the stairs and to our booth.  It was perfectly located with a great view of the whole club.  Sooo happy.  We got a bottle of 3 Olives Grape Vodka, cranberry, Coke, Sprite and bottled waters to start. 

By 10:00 PM the club was really, really packed with a very young and drunk crowd.  The music was dance/ house which we loved and the lasers and fog were in full effect.  Surprisingly there was nothing “Halloweeny” this year.  Last year there was a haunted house, a fire eater, an electric violist and costumed dancers.  I kinda missed it to be honest.  Wonder if the economy hurt the 2010 Halloween Party budget.  Anyway, by 10:30 PM we could barely get out of our booth and our hostess was nowhere to be found.  Sooo crazy.  When she did finally come back around 11:00 PM she looked beat up and explained that she was the only one and that she was sorry.  I felt bad for her honestly.  Poor Sandy... it wasn’t her fault.  She refreshed our mixers and warned us to watch our bottle as rowdy, drunks are apt to grab it you look away. We should have realized then that things were about to get out of hand.

Chippy and I went downstairs… OK… we tried to go downstairs to pee and smoke (her not me) at 11:15 PM.  OMG it was an adventure.  The stairs really were a fire hazard.  Once down we were greeted by a 15 minute bathroom line full of drunken girls all pushing and shoving to get in.  Fun.  Actually it wasn’t.  It was dangerous.  Seriously.  Girls were pushing… hard.  They were also waiting so long that some of them opted to pee on the floor and outside in the smoking area.  So not appropriate.  I believe they actually closed off the men’s room to men for a couple of times to allow girls to pee in there.  Bad job here Roxxy.  You should have stopped letting people in the club once the stairs and bathrooms got out of hand and dangerous.  Ugh. 

Once out of the bathroom we battled back up the stairs and to our booth.  Hubby told us that while we were gone 8 million people tried to sit with him.  Lame. There is a reserved sign but there really should also be a security guard or two or some stanchion around the VIP area.  It should not be your job to kick other patrons out of your area all night.  Not for what you pay.  I seriously can’t tell you how many people tried to put their empties, costume accessories and asses in our booth.  Whatever.  We drank and danced some more and then… of course… I had to pee again.  The bathrooms were still horrible… maybe even worse since bitches were drunker.  When I came back up we pretty much kicked the bottle and had to close our curtains a bit to keep people out. Ugh.  Around 12:15 PM the music started to lean towards Top 40 and Hip Hop.  It was still dancey but not like it was earlier in the night.  We grabbed Sandy and asked for my Credit Card and Driver’s License back and she disappeared and didn’t come back until 1 AM.  Grrrrr. 

Of course we all had to pee the second we got outside.  Chippy and Hubby said they needed some grease and salt and I can always use another drink so we decided to go to Sugarhouse next.  There were no lines for the bathroom, they didn’t mind that we were in costume and the restaurant was sufficient.  Gotta love chili dogs and fries at 1 AM.  Also gotta love not having to guard your drinks from drunken college students.  I have to admit that aside from the smoking I kinda liked Sugarhouse.  This may be our new after club spot.  

We left Sugarhouse around 2:00 AM and were in West Chester right as the bars let out which was interesting to say the least.  We dropped Chippy off, got home at 3 AM and basically fell into bed.  Overall we had a good time but the poor crowd control at really detracted from our experience at the Roxxy.  This is our 4th year going there for Halloween and I can honestly say it’s never been that bad.  Maybe we’ll have to find a new spot next year.
