Clubbin'

It was Luciana's birthday yesterday and Doug wanted to take her Salsa dancing. It started off at the on 6th Street, where we met to hear Bakin's Brownies since the lead singer is a friend of the Chris/Bekki/Doug Georgetown group. They also had some more old highschool friends with them, including another musician, Beth Wood, although she did not perform.

The music was pretty good, although we were a bit too close to the speakers and I thought the instruments were too loud for the vocals (but I usually feel that instruments are overamplified). The service, hower, sucked big time. It took at least half an hour before we even got a glass of water and food took even longer. And it wasn't like the place was packed.

Afterwards we went for a stroll around 6th Street, which I haven't done in ages. I don't know, maybe it's because it's summer and UT's out or maybe everyone now hangs out in the Warehouse District, but it seemed like all the "beautiful people" were gone and 6th Street felt tired and passe.

We ended up at Miguel's and I got to do a couple of Salsas and a Maringue with Jennifer. I actually outlasted Jennifer - it must be because I'm a triathlete in training :-) The crowd at Miguel's is always fun to watch and there always some amazing dancers there. Apparently JenBen now teaches there, too, since here name was on the Powerpoint slides that they projected when the band was not on.
