i had quite an interesting little saturday night. i ended up going to dinner in chinatown (soupy dumplings nom nom nom!) and ended up going to some random dance party. ok, it wasn't really so random. i was bamboozled into going. i tagged along with my friends with the idea that i was going to see a live show. everyone knows how i feel about live music. anyway, so we get there and my friend who was ahead of me hands the lady $5 and says "we're here for the dance party." my dumb remedial ass is thinking: dance party? cool band name. yeah, i get that slow sometimes. shut up.
we get there and it was this live jazz show. so by now, i'm totally confused. but i love jazz so it's all good. after the show (and i wish i could remember the name of the band because they're amazing), we go outside for a smoke and come back in to find the lights off... spinning disco ball... and funk blasting through the speakers. my friend says "man, now i feel like snorting coke" that should give you an idea of the vibe. lmao.
everyone just started dancing.
it wasn't like your normal club setting either. well at least not normal for me. i mean you can probably imagine that i'm often at a club that plays hip-hop, house... i don't know why you would imagine that. but that's the kind of place i normally go to to dance. i'm not gonna lie, at first, i thought most of the people in there were "bad" dancers. and i use "" because it's the general definition of a bad dancer. like you know, no real rhythm... awkward movement. later on i realized that everyone in there was just having pure fun. pure dancing fun. like not the kind of dancing where people are grinding on each other (eww) or dancing to appease anyone else but themselves. it was the kind where you just let the music move you. it was kind of amazing really. and by the way, i arrived at this realization when they played afrika bambaataa & the soul sonic force's planet rock and i just rocked with my friends like we haven't done in a long time. no care in the world, absolutely oblivious of our surroundings and just... danced. completely drama free setting. it was pure fun. i already said that.
i wish everyday was like that where i didn't have to stress about anything and just chill the fuck out (heh). feel free to do whatever my little heart desires. wouldn't that be amazing?
thank you, tom for taking us there. =)
