March 17th we celebrated Dustin’s b-day at relatively new b-burg spot Hope Lounge. Since it’s so new, and not even remotely Irish, we were pretty much able to take it over. It has potential as a place, provided they get new bartenders…
After midnight Dustin, Julia, Antonio and I went around the corner to salsa at Bar Rose, where they had a live music and a lively dance floor. The guys I danced with kept asking where I was from. One guy commented that I dance “like they do at home.” (Home turned out to be Columbia.) I’m going to take that as a huge compliment. I would highly recommend going to the next event there — besides the dancing & music Bar Rose has great wallpaper and the bartender is great.

I was surprised to get an annoucement in my inbox for their next event with the above photos. I don’t even remember them being taken, though I seem to be posing… (I’m on the far right, Julia is dancing in the middle photo.)
