• Weekend (Updated and Rewritten)

  This past weekend, I went down to the beach for my friend’s birthday. It was me, her, and two of her other friends. I can say that this weekend was usually different than how I would spend most of my times out with friends. 

  For the first day, we got to our hotel pretty late like around 5 – 5:30. After checking in, we spent a little bit of time on the beach to get our first hint of color. Afterwards, we went to a beach front bar where they had a live DJ. The breeze was really nice since it was by the water, and it was crowded as expected. We also went to a club next door called Ivy. It used to be another venue, but was damaged after Hurricane Sandy. They’ve rebuilt it into a slightly upscale bar and club. This is the part where it’s usually not like me. I’m not much of a club person. However, it was my friend’s birthday and to me, it’s not where you spend the time, but who you really spend it with. We danced in Ivy for about 2-3 hours. Yes… I danced. Imagine me…. dancing. Don’t get me wrong, I like to dance. But, it usually happens more at weddings than say a club. However, I did enjoy myself. Did I also mention that I did this sober? I do drink, but not really to the point where I’m oblivious to everything going on around me. After Ivy, we grabbed some late night pizza and got back to the hotel around 2 – 2:30 in the morning. 

  The next day, we spend a good 2-3 hours at the beach getting some more color on. This is pretty much the first time of the year where I went out to tan in the sun. Hopefully, I didn’t burn. Afterwards, after showering back at the hotel, we went to a rock venue to listen to a jam session. The first band was really awesome. They were Go Go Gadget. Their Myspace is the only place that has music, but it doesn’t do them any justice to how awesome they performed. Not only were they musically inclined, but their selection was really awesome. It ranged from playing new variations like a hard rock version of Macklemore’s Thrift Shop to some middle school classics like Fat Lip by Sum 41 and My Own Worst Enemy by Lit. A lot more dancing going on at the venue and, I saw a random blonde hair girl eyeing me down. I knew she was looking at me because I saw her talking to her friend and pointing at me. Then, 10 seconds later, she came up and started dancing with me. So, I bumped and grinded and twerked with her for a good minute. Then she walked away after saying thanks. Afterwards, we went back to Ivy and the beach front bar. However, the birthday girl was exhausted from the jam session so we didn’t stay out as late as the night before. However, we did go back to the rock venue around midnight, and Go Go Gadget was playing again. They were doing Power Hour where they played non-stop. After about 25 minutes there, we retreated back to the hotel. 

  One unfortunate thing this weekend: While navigating through the crowded club and leading my friends towards the exit, I ran face first into a guy’s sweaty pit.

  It was a fun weekend, and I went out of my shell a little bit. I really enjoyed the jam session (which I think it’s more of my scene than say the club). Hope you guys had a great weekend.
