My friend Amanda had rented a suite at Drai’s in Hollywood for her 25th birthday so we spent all day lounging by the rooftop pool. Even though it was free to get in, a can of beer cost 10 bucks. 10 dollars for a can of Bud Light?! Fuck Hollywood. I recommend bringing a backpack full of Coors Light but make sure you look like a Turkish traveler because security is pretty tight and they’ll sniff out American gypsies. How do you look Turkish? Don’t shave your stomach, wear capris, and buy a hat at the 76 gas station. We ended up going down to the suite and drinking the handle of Grey Goose that Ronnie brought. By the time we made it back up to the pool we were all a little unruly. Ronnie was making fun of my Make Love Legal shirt, which I found completely inappropriate, so I ripped off my hat (which I rarely do) and then my shirt (which I never do) and grabbed him by the waist. I tangled my arms around him and like two rams interlocked with horns, I pulled him in the pool. It was erotic. The bouncer came over within seconds and kicked us out. Totally worth it. Money spent: 40 dollars. Stayed under budget!
