Out with the old, in with the new...

Saturday night I went to Republic Gardens. Mind you, I have not been since before it closed down...and that was a LONG time ago. So I was interested to see what the flavor was like now.

I was underwhelmed.

I was on the guest list, so I didn't have to pay to get in (yay!) and someone bought me a beverage (double yay), so my out-of-pocket expenses were nil. I got to see some good folks, always a bonus. But other than that, I could've had a V8 and stayed at home to finish watching The Thomas Crown Affair.

• Of course, the big draw of the night was the Jones/Tarver fight. I'm sorry, but Roy Jones will always be that mumbling ship captain in The Matrix Reloaded. "Shut your hole, Bane, 'fore I put you in one."
• It was in the 60s outside, so WHY was the A/C pumping like it was high noon on the first day of July? I was very frozen and was pleased that a gentleman allowed me to liberate his black velvet blazer to ward off the chill.
• I guess I'm showing/feeling my age these days, because I danced once the entire night. I didn't know what the DJ was playing! All these folks throwing their hands in the air, waving like they just don't care, and I played the wall with a clueless look on my face.
• I wish they would ban smoking in clubs here, like they do in NY and CA. I do not relish smelling like an ashtray, and thought those days were gladly behind me.

In addition to the above, my "date" was rude and my ankle hurt due to a mishap earlier that day. But those are other stories for other times. :)

I may have to return to the Gardens this Saturday in order to get my pool lessons...but that's okay, 'cause my "instructor" is a sexy MF. I'll keep you posted. ;)

Thanks for stopping by.
