I suppose I'll get the ball rolling this week...
Friday - Went out for a couple of beers al fresco at the Starlite Diner before heading over to Club XIII for lack of better options. Local resident Galin played a great set, followed by an entertaining set by a group called Umbrella (percussion, guitar and bass accompaniment to dance tracks). Ran into a promoter friend around 5am who insisted I accompany him to check out a club called Sexton with "a very unique, fun atmosphere"
... upon arrival at the place, located a ways from downtown, I learned it was a huge biker bar
Interesting complex with outdoor stage, cafe, dance club (with a very good DJ playing... didn't catch his name), lounge and a 3-story outdoor restaurant built in a gothic style with what can only be described as scrap metal.
I only felt slightly out of place
but the manager, with whom my friend needed to meet, was really nice.
After about an hour there, we headed back downtown for more traditional afterhours at club Garage.
Saturday - Woke up around 5pm after very little sleep and felt like a trainwreck. Forced down a big helping of lagman (Central Asian spicy lamb and noodle soup) at a restaurant around the corner, after which I felt much better. Slept a couple more hours before the missus and I went to DJ bar Citrus for drinks and a hookah. Ran into a DJ friend whom we hadn't seen in ages. Eventually made our way over to Dyagilev Project where Ron "Back Together" Carroll was playing a nice set of happy sunny house music (though I wish he'd sung along to more songs than he did (only 2) as that would have set his appearance apart from anyone else with some CDs and half-decent mixing). Afterwards, we sat in an outdoor cafe for a bit and enjoyed the morning sun and fresh air.
Sunday - Recovery. Pizza delivery. Several DVDs of "Friends".
