A stag night with a difference... or two

Last saturday and due to celebrating the stag night (yeah, another braindead...) of our good friend Chuss, we got together in the italian restaurant "Tagliatelle", here in Madrid. There was quite a few of us.

This is all of us, on a "before" pic:

The poor waitress (see pic below) had lots of patience with us and was very pleasant. As we sat down she treated us like gentlemen. This treatment lasted untill we told her we were out on a stag night, when she threw her arms up and said something along the lines of "Dear God!" and trated us like youths the rest of the evening.

We had a major feast of all kinds of pasta an pizza, all doused with beer and Lambrusco wine. Due to this dousing was this... watch...

Naturally, that wasn't the end of it, but the peculiarities begun. We were only just finishing our second course and beginning our deserts (some of us didn't even get to try them!) a small fire was declared in the kitchen and smoke filled the place. We were promptly ushered out. Naturally, to this day, we all deny any involvement in the fire...

Once outside, naturally, some people left straight away and others left shortly afterwards. A few minutes later someone came out and announced that if we gave them a few minutes they would sort out our bills. This was taken as a cue for half the people to remember about their business elsewhere. Shortly after that, the guy came out again and announced that due to the disturbance we were all invited. Round of applause and Rade and Edu, who are most diplomatic, collected a few bucks to give to the waiters who had actually worked quite hard.

Once this resolved itself and relishing on the experience, we crossed the street and began the first of the night's entretainment: NEGONE - Escape from Mazzinia.

Here, a game takes place in which we all play convicts trying to escape from a hi-tec prison. You are given a wrist-strapped console in which you have to accumulate weapons and items to that effect. In each room you are presented with a logic problem you have to solve to get the item. The console is used to acces the screens with the enigmas. Also, you can score points with hidden extra access points.

The scenarios are quake-like (ok, so no shots and no lava, but...) and get you right into the storyline. The ambience includes lasers, smoke, floors that move, strobic lights, artifacts and varied attrezzo, nets, ladders, ramps, access tubes and loads of things to jump over, climb, crawl under, etc.

Of course, when you get out, there is a bar!

The night was filled with good moments, laughter and curious experiences. Truly, a night to remember.
