Xmas Party

A few days ago, I was host to a big party in SF which began at a small, mellow bar (Blur), and finished with dancing at Element Lounge - really fun! I had actually done similar events with the same itinerary on at least two other occasions, so it was rather guaranteed that we would have a decent time. At Blur, we (my guests and I) relaxed with a few drinks, chatted, and was entertained by a large, overly-friendly dog who stuck his nose in all sorts of places (ahem) and barked his approval when a group laughed especially loud. 

After happy hour, 20+ of us went looking for food, settling on a Thai restaurant nearby. After an hour of eating and more laughing (all of us at the same table), we then went to Element and proceeded to dance our butts off almost right away. I really enjoyed watching some of my guests, many of whom did not exactly fit the "dance club" stereotype, really get into it and move! It makes one feel good to know that they are the catalyst for others to have a really great evening. It had been quite a while (too long!) since I had been to a dance club myself, but I became less rusty with a few drinks and seeing how uninhibited everyone else was. It was also amusing to see how people tried (and often failed) to hook up for the evening.

 I went home feeling tired but happy that the night had been a success... I am ready for New Year's Eve!
