Weekend Recap
Ooh. Very nice weekend. Perfect blend of going out and vegging in front of tv.
Friday night, a few of us went to a birthday party at Eleven, a bar within walking distance from my apartment. Although it's technically not a gay bar, it's definitely in the gay bar district. It was surprisingly dead, considering how lively the other bars in the area were though. We went there for Rebecca's friend's bday party, and after we hung out a bit and all had a chance to experience using a unisex bathroom (strange) we decided to take the opportunity to check out a few other bars. First, we stopped at a club called Ultra Suede. I tried to convince the bouncer that I was a blogger who was doing reviews of clubs in the local area and to let me in to scope out the place real quick. He did let me get to the front of the club (he was guarding the stairs that lead up to the entrance), where I could peak in, but the girls manning the actual front door wouldn't let me thru for free. It looked fun though - it was Madonna night, and they were playing all Madonna songs. We didn't go in since the cover was $12 and that'd buy us only about an hour in the club, but the bouncer did give me a couple free passes for another night, so maybe we'll get a chance to check it out some other time. After that we went to the Rainbow Room, which was definitely interesting. An older crowd, predominately aging rockers and the aging women into aging rockers. I liked it quite a bit actually - it made for a good people watching. So, all in all, a very good Friday night.
Saturday we decided to stay in and watch tv and movies. Here are my weekend movie reviews:
THE PRESTIGE - so unbelievably AWESOME!!!! Definitely see this!!! Wow - I cannot say enough good things about this movie!!
THE NIGHT LISTENER - skip this one. Felt like a short story that got expanded and there's very little pay off in the end.
BOURNE IDENTITY - Obviously not a new movie, but we decided to rewatch anyway, and it's still good.
GOTHIKA - this was not so great. Not really scary, and I found a lot of it to be rather illogical.
Sunday night was best part of the weekend. Honestly. Our gay friend Tyler had his birthday party at a gay line dancing bar! It was really something to see - a bunch of gay men dancing in sync to country music. And there were so many different kinds of line dances too - so many different moves. I guess the dj announces what kind of dance before he plays the song so anyone who knows it goes out and dances all completely in sync. It's fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. Everyone should go to a gay line dancing bar at one point in their lives.
Anyway, that's about it. Monday. Back to work. *sigh*
