WOW! SOMETHING totally rocked on Friday night! I was a little worried that people wouldn’t be able to find the place, but boy they sure did. I had picked out a number of attendees that I was going to be happy with for the whole night, and we had more than that many people before 10pm (maybe because it was free before 10?). Cool! My only complaint was that people didn’t start dancing until about 11pm. It was like a high school dance where everyone stands around until one brave couple starts dancing and then everyone joins in. Same thing Friday night, but once they got started the whole bar was dancing.

Here’s a quote from an email that Tomas sent me the next day-
"We had much fun, although it was WAY too crowded from about 10:30 to midnight."

Indeed, by midnight the place was packed. And speaking of the place, I give Retox two thumbs up. It’s just the right size and comfy cozy and in the middle of nowhere so there aren’t any noise problems. That means they can leave the doors open for a nice airflow and not have to worry about the neighbors complaining. That was great because there’s a door right behind the DJ area so it was cool all night. They serve strong drinks and you get them fast too, if you know what I mean. I had a great time. I can’t remember when I’ve danced so much.

What was the only bad thing that happened? The Melting Girl totally melted. She was way too sick to spin, but promises to make it up to everyone at the next SOMETHING. And when, you’re probably asking yourself, is the next SOMETHING? Why, it is Friday the 13th of April, of course! Maybe you’ll get lucky at SOMETHING!
