Amber Lounge
I was lucky enough to find myself in the Amber Lounge (after Grand Prix party) after the Monaco Grand Prix many (about 5) years ago.

Tickets I was assured were expensive, but drink was free. I believe the mention of 'drinking my weight in alcohol' was mentioned.

My wife was pregnant at the time so it was a tall order, but I pushed on through.

Two things I remember of the entire night was dancing (badly) on the dance floor and finding myself next to George Lucas and (what I was led to believe) was a niece of his.

Well the opportunity for the 'lightsabre dance' with sound effects loud enough to be heard over the music was just too good to pass up.

I don't think he stayed long after that.

The second thing was me at the bar asking for 1 paltry Bud when Rod Steward appears next to me and demands 18 bottles of champagne and 7 glasses.

I upped my drinking after that.

Unfortunately that is all I can remember of the night.
