Today was excellent. Disclaimer: I am very drunk.
First, I started out by waking up at 11:00 AM. That's how a day starts good.
Then, by 1:00 PM, I was hanging out in Dado with my roommate Matt. We chilled for a while, and eventually he went home, I switched to the "bar" and sat around and wrote for a few hours. Awesome. At 5:15 or so I returned home and plotted with Mr. Eric F. how the night should go. It was his birthday! He was planning to head to Atwood's Bar with some friends. I wandered over to his place at 6:20 or so, we hung out, drank a beer, and then his friend Matt picked us up and we went to Atwood's. Good food - I had a veggie burger and fries.
The evening started with this spectacular olde time band, then proceeded with a blues sorta band. Both were great. I find myself staring at guitarists' and bassists' fingers while they're playing, trying to get a feel for what they're doing. I'm feeling very meta when I listen to live music, lately. I'm always trying to figure out what's going on.
After Atwood's, we went to the Phoenix Landing in Central. It was a great time. Matt (not my roommate - Eric's friend) and Gwen both had ID cards for MTV, and we skipped the line. Matt is a total badass - awesome. I was glad to buy him a beer, even if it was a Bud light.
We stayed at the Landing until around 1:45 dancing. It was a great night - wonderful people. Eric has a great crew.
I have all sorts of reflections on social interactions in club/bar/music venue scenes. They'll probably be lost in the ether. Regardless, I had a really, really great time tonight. Thanks, Eric, for inviting me out.
