Getting my party on

For a Wednesday, my evening was hoppin'!

Got home, chilled out and watched some SVU. Then I headed out to a holiday potluck with festive chips & salsa. There isn't alot of party food, or even suitable for mass consumption food, and the supplies for the very few things I CAN do are back in Ohio. When I got there, the spread was amazing. Stuffed mushrooms, ham & cheese puffs, little toasts with tapenade or cheese & berries. Yummy! There was cabernet savignon and "tapas", so all in all pretty classy. Watched Quicksilver with a bunch of bike messengers, which was special. It's like watching a dance movie with dancers. But what was truly wild was showing up and seeing a girl I had met in a totally different context! It's crazy to think that I have been in Chicago long enough for my circles to start overlapping.

Hopped from the potluck to my last night at Green Dolphin. Which had so many people! I barely had a chance to change out of my boots before I was dancing. In contrast to last week's poor show. Relied alot on my following abilities, which served me well. Although it's usually a swing club, the band played a rumba, which I also do. As I left the floor, one gentleman complimented me as the only person on the floor actually doing rumba (everyone else was doing some weird swing-rumba hybrid). I later danced with him, and it involved lifts! It was pretty crazy, but way fun.

Last night was a total success, even if it did keep me out past my bedtime.
