Over the course of the long weekend, three of my friends have been kicked out of bars/clubs - one each night we went out. It would be great to have some really cool stories about doing something so awesome they had to ask us to leave, but mostly these are all just pretty sad and embarrassing.

David - We went to a club called Catwalk in Barceloneta with disco on the ground floor and rap upstairs. The drinks were really overpriced and the guys on the rap floor were extremely creepy, but it was still pretty fun. Later in the night, it got really crowded and Karli and David went to the bar to take shots. They bartender poured their shots and then walked away. Karli turned to David and told him that they should take the shots and just run. Karli managed to pull this off flawlessly, while David - one of the only people over 6 feet tall in the country - was grabbed by the female bartender, then hustled out of the club by a bouncer. We found him outside, covered in ketchup eating a hot dog.

Guillermo - We went to a bar called L'Ovella Negra off Las Ramblas for this guy Gabe's birthday. The bar is kind of an underground tavern with a lot of tables and people from all over the world. We befriended a couple British guys, one of our friends beat them at a chugging contest, and we were having a pretty good time. We tried to sing Happy Birthday to Gabe but the bouncers got annoyed and made us be quiet. Guillermo gave Gabe a bottle of Absynthe for his birthday and apparently it was being passed around under the table. As it got back to Guillermo, the bouncer saw it, and asked him to leave. Later that night, Guillermo threw up on the side of Corte Ingles (the Spanish version of a Macy's/Safeway/Pricey Target in one).

Joanna - We went to a bar/club called Lila last night that was packed with foreign students. It was pretty awful, and we had been promised free Champagne which we never received so we weren't super happy. When we first got there, I had to go to the bathroom and there was a huge line in the girls' room so I just went in the (then empty) guys' restroom. Later that night, Joanna decided to do the same. She waited her turn in the packed bathroom line by the urinal, and was almost to the front of the line when a guy told her she needs to leave and go in the girls' room. She argued with him for a little while, then pretended to leave so he would leave her alone - but immediately went back in. The guy ended up telling the bouncer and having her kicked out. I managed to find the guy and convince him to go tell the bouncer to let her back in, but at that point the bouncer was fed up with Joanna trying to argue her way back in and refused to let her in. I stayed inside for a little while longer, but after hearing that they were calling the police, Joanna and I went home.
