So, I went dancing last night with Sterling. We were planning on going to Press Club, that place we went to in October... but apparently it closed down sometime since October. Lame. Instead we went to Empire, which was pretty alright. It was Hip Hop, but pretty decent danceable beats. The cover was 15.00, which is a lot for a club, but you can tell it went into atmosphere. For a wharehouse (and it was a wharehouse, the bathrooms have the legal wash your hands signs still) it was pretty slick, two bars ($5.00 gin and tonics, made with swill gin but five seems to be a pretty standard price for it, and there was a lot of gin, so that's a plus), some crazy lights/sound, and our very own hired stage dancers (kind of creepy, not going to lie. Titilating girls with vacant eyes). Man, when Sterling and I go dancing, we always get comments. Luckily, this place the people were friendly (none of that pointing and laughing), but I have a hard time believing that they aren't thinking "good lord, those people are WHITE." That thought is amusing, mostly because I'm half hispanic and he's half chinese so between the two of us we're one white person, but we were both raised white, so I guess that explains that. We also dance in tandem a bit (without really dancing on one another), which I think is really cool. If you let us we can take up a LOT of the dance floor, but there were too many people last night (like that one time we had the whole dance floor at Ricki Loves... man that was cool). Also was able to get Sterling to cha-cha to a number, so that was fun.
We had a good time.
I got to bed a little before three (Sterling left at two, had to shower because I was -gross- from the dancing), then woke up at six thirty to go work for eight hours. It was a busy day, the music lady had to go home sick, so I spent the second half of my shift in music. It was alright, Tomas came in at one pm, and he's fun. I came home read twenty pages of the French revolution, then promptly fell asleep for two hours. I woke up a little before eight pm, and just read nintey more pages, so I'm chuggin' along. I work tomorrow morning which is lame, but I'm getting forty hours this week, which is good because I -really- need the money.
