Reading The Tea

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.) 

For work I’m planning a weekend event in another city. Actually, right now I’m planning three weekend events in three other cities, and two of them are in the middle of registration, so I’ve been sending big groups of people a lot of e-mail. Last night I had a really long dream where I was trying to get an e-mail out, but I had to include with it a specially designed knitting pattern. It was really frustrating because I kept making a prototype only to find that the pattern was off by a couple of stitches. When I woke up this morning it took me a few min. to realize that I didn’t actually have to finish a pattern.
