Okay, here's the story of how I snuck into Kanye West's Bedroom. ??

One day, a friend calls me last minute, asking if I want to see @kanyewest, he was playing at @flowfestival. She got free tickets.

So, we go to the gig, it was awesome. The man knows how to put on a show. Great buzz. pic.twitter.com/ZwYFBP1zym

But Alex and I, my Russian friend, can't get a taxi, way too many people, it's a day-festival. We're running late. ?

They exchange some words, nods, looks, and next thing I'm sitting on cream leather, in the back of an s-class, speeding to the hotel. ?

Alex and I are having doubts. We hear tunes from one of the Windows, figured that was it. But it's looking bad, security at the door. eek!

So we put on our of-course-we-are-staying-at-this-hotel swagger, and march right up to the door. Give security a nod, we're in. It worked.

This is when Alex has a genius idea. She pretends she needs to get sick, and makes a b-line for the restroom.

As she slinks off, she gives me the name of her friend staying there, the one Kanye is in love with. ?

Me: "so, my friend, Olesya, she's not feeling so well, and she lost her room key, could you issue a new one?"
— Ireland / Youssef (@ireland) January 2, 2016
Reception: "oh okay sir, no problem, let me get you that right away." *obtains room-key* *achievement unlocked* ?

Once again, we put on our of-course-we-are-supposed-to-be-in-kanyes-bedroom swagger, and march in.

Everything sounds like we're underwater, everyone is looking at us, we are naked. NOOO!!!! ???

Of course, I needed to document it without looking like a fan. So, no better way than with a bathroom mirror selfie? pic.twitter.com/RqxBXXkH7R

And the funniest bit? Like, the really fun part? They were playing ALL Kanye's music, but I'm not complaining, his stuff bangs.☺️
