I was upstairs and I spotted a David lookalike (why he was dressed up as a character from Star Trek, I'm not sure). Anyway, we asked him to kiss Leigh and then I sent this picture to Kim (David's GF who had gone back to the UK a few days ahead of David) and was like "David's totally out of control! He came to Misshapes dressed up as a guy from Star Trek and was trying to make out with all the girls there!" Hahaha. She almost believed me.
After he couldn't get the glass out, he decided to try to pick out the dry ice in his drink with his bare fingers...and he burned the fuck out of them. When he hopped up out of the booth to run to the bathroom and wash his instantly frost-bitten fingers under some warm water, the amount of booze he'd consumed caught up with him and he fell out of the booth and almost sprawled out on the floor.
In the hour that we were there, Philip went through TWO of the half-sized Warp Core Breaches (meaning he consumed 10 oz of liquor - the equivalent of six and a half drinks - in about an hour!!!). Half-way through his second drink he started trying to pry his drink's glass container out of the metal holding stand.
Here's us with an elder Klingon. The two people on the left hammed in on our photo opp because they were too scared to ask the other younger Klingon for a photo. (That's how seriously intimidating he was! Other adults were too scared to ask him for a photo! Hahahahah).
Oh wait, you mean you thought I was kidding about there being Klingons walking around in there? Seriously, as funny as this picture is, this guy was TOTALLY intimidating. He had a deep, booming voice and refused to break from his Klingon character in any way. Imagine being all drunk and having this dude come over and be like "Tell me: your mission is going well?" And when you try to fuck with him or laugh he just glares and says something else equally abrasive in Klingon (yes, Klingon as in the made up language that
nerds have actually taught themselves to speak
). Too fucking much. After like ten minutes of awkward, forced sci-fi non-conversation (half of it in a made-up language, no less), I finally convinced him to let me "capture our likeness together on my holographic print cube." Jesus.
What exactly is in a Warp Core Breach, you ask? Here you go! (Actually we both only ordered the Mini-Warp Core Breaches, but with 5 oz of liquor, it's still packing the punch of almost three regular drinks).
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the very best of Star Trek-themed alcoholic beverages, the WARP CORE BREACH! (Please note the vapor cloud in the container due to the copious amounts of dry ice they put in it).
As far as I'm concerned, there's only way to relax after a hard day of talking about your start-up to hundreds of strangers. That's right, the genteel, pleasant atmosphere of Star Trek-themed restaurant.
...the mothefucking Star Trek-themed Quark's Restaurant! Awwww, yeah boy-eeeeeee! Who wants to stay in a hotel that's filled with hot chicks when you could be enjoying a Warp Core Breach with a grown man dressed up as a Klingon! (More on that later, though).
