Chill Out


While in London we went to an Ice bar. Many of you know I have wonderful natural body temperature regulation so I wasn’t too worried about spending 40 minutes in a bar constructed completely of ice. For 14 pounds we got some time in the ice bar and a free vodka drink. The cups and all the furniture were made of ice which they claimed to import from some far away location because it was the “purest ice in the world. The drinks were all very fancy and had names like “the destructor” or “the mixinator.” Basically the drinks sounded like the names of the American  Gladiators that came onto the show in season 7, after all the good names were taken (I mean… not everyone can be Nitro or Gemini, and only 1 can be Malibu.)

 

In any case, it was cool (literally) for the period of time we were there. We took our pictures and did all the requisite fun things one can do with 40 minutes in a room with ice furniture. Luckily they provided us with parkas and gloves (though my gloves were wet from people spilling drinks on them) so we didn’t get too cold. It was a fun experience and something to check off my list of life accomplishments but I probably wouldn’t go back. It got boring after I ran out of ice based pictures to take and Arnonld-Schwarzenagger-as-Mr.-Freeze based quotes.
