One Mystery Solved, Another Emerges
Case files closed on the Kiss & Fly cone saga (sort of.) I finally decided to have a serious chat with the bathroom attendant and almost tripped into the sink when she revealed that she ASKED someone to put a cone / cone(s) on the toilet.
“The toilet is not broken,” she emphasized in our chaotic interview. “The door is broken. You can’t close that door.” She pointed to the wooden panel that would seal off that bathroom, currently open and held in place by a trash can.
As per usual, it was too loud and sweaty with too many girls retouching make-up to prolong such an absurd conversation in an attempt to clarify. The gist of her rationale seemed to be that women had been trying to use that bathroom, but couldn’t close or lock the door. My questions:
a) Since when is privacy valued in a club setting? A place where girls share stalls and friends guard friends’ bathroom doors anyway?
b) Why can’t they get the door fixed? Geez. That would be even easier and less gross than repairing a toilet.
A new mystery revolves around this crazy vodka called Snow Queen. Can someone enlighten me about this beverage? In the dark, cradled in a bucket of ice, it looks suspiciously like Grey Goose. I guessed Snow Queen was some generic vodka Kiss & Fly economically chose to pawn off on promoter tables. It tastes frighteningly like nothing (allowing for unconscious mass-consumption) and gave me the worst hangover of my life. So I did some research and found that Snow Queen vodka’s the new quality product from
Side question: Who bestows liquor awards? I’m assuming a panel of judges who get to drink all day? That’s a great job.
So now I don’t know if Snow Queen vodka is super classy or super trashy. Is it the new Grey Goose or is it distilled from the tears and old bathwater of Kazakhstani senior citizens? Anyone who’s a liquor expert, fill us all in.
On a separate yet related Kiss & Fly note, this Go-Go girls’ outfit isn’t really working for me. I think the Kiss & Fly dancers had a much better things going for them when the feathers were on their chest instead of their rump.

I’ve had Snow Queen on many occasions - at first, I thought it was Grey Goose, but a closer look and it isn’t. The Grand is the only place I’ve ever seen with this vodka (and Kiss & Fly I guess). I’m a promoter so a comped bottle is a comped bottle - but the price on the bottle menu is the same as Grey Goose - so it must be decent. I’m not a huge drinker but prefer Belvedere that they gave us @ Touch over Snow Queen.

Man that vodka tastes like crap… for a second I thought it was another bite of Pink. And I’ll tell the go go dancer (dee) about the outfit, haha.

I have a challange for all those who taste vodka: Put 2 shot glasses next to each other. Pour in one a taste of Snow Queen Vodka and another a different vodka. Make sure they are the same temp, and then sip each one after another. Let the vodka speak for itself. With the awards topic: Over 100 applicants for the 2008 SF World Spirits Competition tried & to get the award for “Top Vodka” and “Double Gold”. Only one was awarded, it was Snow Queen Vodka. As for hangovers: If you drink enough of any spirit, mix it with a high sugar item like Red Bull or Cranberry you will get a hang over. It is due to dehydration that takes effect after drinking from your body using water to combat alcohol and sugar intake. It has nothing to do with what particular spirit you are drinking. I hope this clears up any questions.
