This Saturday night I sat at my computer contently chatting away with some friends, when one of my best friends asked if I would accompany her to a couple bbq’s. So naturally I hopped up in excitement to leave this got-damned house, went upstairs and informed my sister. We got dressed and headed out. First we hit up the “block party” in Uniondale which was really nothing but someones house BBQ with big ass speakers in the middle of the street. Why they had to block off the whole street for that… I don’t know. [smh].
After a little bit, we hit up the Letz Get It BBQ in Hempstead which was okay. The music was nice, and the food was up to par. 
We got our hot dogs, hamburgers, and griot, chilled for a bit but then dipped, because the girls I was with claimed that it was “dead”, which was only natural since we got there insanely early at like 11:30 p.m.
So after an hour went by of us driving around aimlessly, getting gas, parking in 3 different locations attempting to find a destination, by around 12:30 we decided to hit up the Grammy Family 2nd Annual BBQ in Brooklyn. So after we got the directions and started heading towards there we found out that it got shut down already. Of course it did! I wonder if its just me but it really seems like every BBQ in Queens or Brooklyn all get shut down before we even get there or before it even gets poppin. So, trying to save the night we decided to just go to the after party and hit that up. But of course since we’re from Long Island and never go to Brooklyn [cuz it's so damn far], we got lost. After we found our way to Club Djumbala [thanks to mapquest!]where the after party was supposed to be, we rolled up to find it insanely crowded! There were so many people on the line you would swear it was an after party to a parade, and I’m not even exaggerating! So after driving 3 blocks down and 3 blocks over and not finding one parking spot we decided we would just try to go to Club IFE instead.
After getting lost once again and finding our way at Club IFE it was already 2:15 a.m. and one of our friends decided that it was her bedtime and didn’t want to pay $15 to get in the club, instead she wanted to stay inside the car and sleep. Now you already know we were not going to leave a girl sitting in a car all by herself in Brooklyn on a suspect ass street so she could get raped and shot [hahahah inside joke!]. So unnervingly we got back in the car and drove back home. *sigh* All of that work for nothing!
And all this had to happen because the girls didn’t want to stay at the Letz Get It BBQ. So instead of just kicking back and relaxing at a BBQ that was close to home, had people there that we knew, and that I heard was actually pretty good, we drove around and wasted gas for about 3 hours. Some night! grr! But at least we got a couple of laughs in.
