Girls Night Out at the OMNI Hotel, The Comedy Zone, and Breakfast Club

It was girl's night out and Nickcola, Hope and I were ready! We had been planning this trip for a few months. We were headed to the OMNI hotel, The Comedy Zone, and the Breakfast Club.

The girls got to the house at 12:30 Sat afternoon. We loaded the car, everybody peed and we loaded ourselves. I then said, "we've got to say a prayer" and proceeded:

Father God, You can see us at all times and you know everything we do. Please keep us safe while we go to Charlotte, get drunk and act like idiots. Thank you, AMEN

We joked and laughed all the way and talked about what different kinds of drinks we were going to try. Since it was St. Patrick's Day I had bought Malibu Rum, Melon Liqueur, and Pineapple Juice to make some Alien Secretions when we got to the room. A fruity green island-y drink that was delicious!

MapQuest took us right to the OMNI Hotel with no difficulties. We parked in the Bank of America Parking Garage that was hooked to the hotel (go up two or three levels to get past the Reserved Parking spaces) We rode the elevator up with two Japanese man. Thinking of the alcohol we were getting ready to drink I state, "I'm ready to get something warm inside me". Nickcola looked at me and started grinning from ear to ear and Hope burst out laughing...It took me a minute to realize what I had said and then we all were laughing. Fortunately, the Japanese men did not even crack a smile. I'm not sure if they couldn't speak English or they were just especially stoic.

When we got off the elevator we passed some men in kilts who were in the city for the St. Patrick's Day Parade. They looked great wearing their green, red and black outfits. There was one especially "purty" dark haired gentlemen we admired among oursevles. The conceirge was friendly and helpful and we soon were on our way up to Suite 224.

The suite was on a corner of the OMNI Hotel so we had a panoramic view of downtown Charlotte.






The suite a nice little sitting area with the views of all the numerous construction projects going on as well as the existing architecture.




The beds were absolutely unreal. They were so cushy--they were amazingingly soft with a soft pillowtop, covered with another soft mattress cover, covered then with three soft sheets. The comforter was a pillow filled one and there were six soft pillows on each bed. I just can't go on enough about their beds--Well worth the $265.00 for the night.




We took a few pictures of us and our room and then I mixed up our first Alien Secretion! We talked about drinks we were going to try and Hope mentioned a Green Orgasm. We all laughed a lot at that one. After two more Alien Secretions apiece and putting our faces on we were ready to head to the Comedy Zone. First we wanted to laugh and then we wanted to dance!

In the motor lobby a doorman called a cab for us and after getting a $30 quote from the cab company, a Towne Car driver offered to take us for only $5 more than the cab. We hopped in and made our way to The Comedy Zone. We laughed a lot on the way (and helped the driver who didn't know where the Comedy Zone was). We again talked about drinks we were going to have. When we arrived, the driver opened our door and Hope asks, "Have you had an orgasm?" and we all start laughing as the driver replys, "all the time". The driver (Backer) gave us his card and told us to give him a call when we were ready to leave.

After being seated in the bar to eat, Nickcola and I ordered a Grape Ape to try together and Hope had a sweet tea. I decided I didn't really like it so Nickcola kept it and I ordered an Alien Secretion (had to give the bartender the recipe--click here for recipe). We then proceeded to pig out. We ordered chicken fingers, fried pickles, quesedillas, cheese planets, and spinach dip. We stuffed ourselves. I drank another Alien Secretion and it was time for the show.



We went into the dark little room and sat down at our chairs located right against the stage. We had great seats! The lights went out and the room lit up with blacklight colors everywhere. Nickcola's fingernails glowed while my shirt's white background lit right up. It was cool! The first comedian was a lady who was quite funny. Her act basically revolved around sex. Me and Nickcola each drank another drink during her act. The second act was a guy named Chris and he was very funny. We laughed so hard our sides hurt. Sitting across the stage was a couple, whose mate was almost as funny as the comedian. He so enjoyed the show that his laugh made us all laugh even more. We were very pleased with both comedians even though they did talk quite raunchy as some comedians tend to do.

We headed to the bathroom and Hope called our driver saying, "Hey, Backer, it's your orgasmic ladies, we're ready to come back to the OMNI". On the way back to the hotel we laughed and joked. We talked to Backer and asked him if he liked to go out dancing. We told us he used to and I said, "before you were married?" and he replied, "yes, now we just dance at home".

Back at the OMNI we zoomed up to our suite to freshen up and have a few more Secretions. We found our beds turned down with chocolates on the pillows and the TV tuned to a soft music sleeping channel. After fixing our faces and drinking two or three more Alien Secretions apiece we were ready to head to the Breakfast Club (an all 80s dance club). Hope at this time wasn't feeling well and had developed a severe headache. She decided she wasn't able to go dancing at the Breakfast Club. With regret, Nickcola and I left her behind.

We took a cab the 1/2 mile ride to the Breakfast Club. On arriving at the Breakfast Club, we filled out membership cards and were on our way in. The first level of the club has a bar in it and some tables. The bathroom is located on this floor. The 80's decor had it going on with rubics cubes and 80's memorabilia. We immediately ordered four shots of a drink that resembled the Alien Secretions (price $24.00). We were trying to stick to some of the same liquors so as not to regret it later. The bartenders (Judy and Joy) were friendly and experienced. We quickly received our drinks and downed the two shots apiece. We climbed the stairs to the next level which was the dance room and it was already jammin. There was some tables on this level and a bar as well. On the furthest wall was DJ Jody up on a stage (He did an awesome job--you can see staff pictures at their Breakfast Club My Space) . To the left of DJ Jody was a little fenced stage that could fit about three people who wanted to get up there and dance. We then proceeded to the third level to check it out. There we found another bar with a few tables overlooking the dance floor below. At this level, we purchased four more shots...this time getting four Lemon Drops ($24.00). These drinks were wicked--being made up of straight vodka, sugar on the rim of the glass, and a lemon slice) After establishing our surroundings, we headed to the dance floor to dance. The floor was sticky and dirty with quite a bit of trash on it. At first, I was slightly repulsed and then soon forgot all about it. The DJ was excellent and the music never stopped. Everyone was very friendly. Some guys breakdanced and spun on their heads and a look alike Billy Idol lip synced behind the fenced gate. It was perfect! We danced until we were tired and then went back down to level one to hit the bathrooms and again hit the bar. We ordered four shots of Whip It's (otherwise known as Blow-Jobs, $24.00). We downed these and then back up to the dance floor where we danced nonstop for at least two hours...dancing with a few people and chasing away a few more. One cardiologist (supposedly) kept trying to twirl us both and we kept telling him to stop. We were getting our groove on and didn't want to be twirled. No slow songs were played, no electric slide. It was all 80s and we were loving it...singing at the top of our lungs and shaking our booties! It was the absolute best time and we loved the Breakfast Club! There were no fights and all staff and customers were friendly!

(NOTE: If you are the guy who danced with the two ladies from Hickory and Lenoir towards the end--We want your number!)

About 2 am we had danced enough and decided to walk back to the OMNI. Even though it was 30 degrees outside or less we didn't feel the cold at all. We floated down the street in a glowing post-alcoholic daze and kept saying, "that was so much fun! that was just so much fun!".

Arriving back at the suite, we laughed and talked and Hope woke up and heard about our night. Finally to bed we went. Nickcola and I then decided we needed something to munch, cracked the lock on the stocked bar and split a $2.50 Coke and a $3.00 pack of peanut M&M's. After our treat, we settled into the angelic fluffy bit of heaven and soon were in a dreamland until the sun came through the windows! Some of us laid in the bed longer than others...guilty!

It was a great girls night out! Thanks OMNI hotel, The Comedy Zone, and the Breakfast Club. Thumbs up to all three locations! We'll definitely plan to revisit soon!
