Hippity Hop

I had a busy weekend. Starting with Friday Stephanie and I wanted to do something a little different and it had been awhile since we tried dancing. We decided to go to a dance club in the Gaslamp District downtown. I knew nothing about the clubs down there so asked my friends and got a consensus on two places: The Broadway, and E-street Alley. The Broadway seemed extremely popular so I thought it might be more crowded and decided to go to E-Street Alley.

Before the club we ate dinner with Mark, his g/f Nancy and there friends at a place downtown called Pokez which was a whacky place with a skater/punk/mexican decor. The food was good and we had a good time. Mark and company then left and Stephanie and I headed to a coffee shop to kill some time.

We then ended up at the club and had to stand in line for about 10min. We headed down to the club, $30 cover for the both of us and we were in. First thing I did was get a glass of wine. We looked around and couldn't find a tecno dance hall, only hip hop. After awhile of trying to figure out what was going on we headed into the hip hop dance area where no one was dancing and it was already 11. I then convinced Stephanie to join me to shake my bootie hip hop style... well, not really. We danced but like two white washouts as everyone around us was thrusting there asses into their partners crotch and grinding. We did this for about 45 minutes then left. I later found out that we were in the right place but somehow missed an entire section of the club.

The next day was all about roleplaying. A local online forum for rpgs decided to put together a 12 hour gaming extravaganza. I got there around noon and left at midnight. Everyone had a good time and I ran Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and played in Adventure!

Finally, on Easter I met Stephanie's mom and her husband, Ken for the first time. I was pretty nervous but it went fairly smoothly. Stephanie and her mom get along really well and they hadn't talked in awhile so they got to gossip and catchup while Ken and I quietly listened commenting every now and then. We had ham, cranberry stuff, and pasta salad that was good. I got an extra bonus as Stephanie had used horseradish for the cranberry stuff and I got to put it on my home. Remind me of New Mexico.
