Kanye's official after party last night was at Myst, the new place next to Purgatory. The spot used to be Babylon, and before that, Wake Energy Lounge. (Where are my old-school peeps who remember that?) This is the nicest it's ever looked, though.

Myst is small and decked out in all white -- not exactly original decor, Dallas nightclub-wise, but still clean. They've got filmy curtains behind the tables, white booths, and an all-white upstairs VIP area, which is glassed-in so you can watch the go-go dancers writhe on the dance floor.

Absolut sponsored the after party, so there was an open bar all night. Absolut girls in teensy skirts shook their booties on the stripper poles, and other Absolut girls handed out plastic copies of Kanye's signature glasses. DJ Turbulence, Kanye's DJ who's based in L.A., played a bunch of party hits -- Montel Jordan, Biggie, Missy, Lil' Jon. (He'll also be at Obar tonight.)

I didn't feel like dancing, so we just sat and people-watched. My friend and I debated whether tight, curve-hugging dresses were tacky. I said no: If you've got the body and the posture -- posture is key! -- rock it all you want.

We waited until around 1:15 a.m. for Kanye to show up, but he didn't, so we decided to go home. But not before taking a pic of us in the glasses, like everyone else in the club was doing.

UPDATE: Just heard from Myst's owner. Kanye showed up 15 minutes after we left! CRAP. He apparently gave an awesome performance for 45 minutes. And Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D. performed too. I can't believe I missed it. If you were there, drop me a line and let me know what it was like.
