dub step and lights


I went to a little dive bar by the name of Johnny V's Monday night with a good friend of mine. It has been a while since i have been out somewhere with live music, even a dj. The atmosphere was nice and friendly, but the music took some getting used to.
I dis not go out to get drunk, i only had one and a half beer (a shared 22oz heineken in the parking lot) so my nerves were not as loose as they could have been. Since i was only familiar with the dub step genre from the few times i checked it out on pandora, i could not familiarize myself enough to get down to the beats.
Eventually i had enough of standing and bobbing my heqd. I walked to my car, deposited this here ipod touch, my glasses with the case, and my wallet, and walked back into the bar. Finally, i was ready to look like a lost soul dancing with the others. It was obvious that there was no style, precedent, nor judgment being tossed around out there. People moved qs they felt they should move like, and that is some easy business. I was also now comfortable enough to meet and greet people. Everybody except my friend was a stranger, and i thought this might be a good time to practice calming my nerves when i qpproach people to chit chat.
After all was said and dine, i met 6 new people, got their names, already forgot their names, and learned a little about them.
One guy was selling drugs, another man was looking dor drugs. One girl liked metal music and had swedish blood like myself, another girl was friends with ghe first. One guy i think works at starbucks, while another guy supposedly skipped out on rhiannas halloween party because he promised to spend halloween with his daughter. This guy should have went to the party because he said some crazy things that brought a restraining order on himself so now he has to stay away from his home and his daughter.
Even though i am not one to make dubstep gatherings a regular entry to my agenda, i am glad i went. It was fun dancing like a brain synapse with others around me doing the same, it was fun hanging out with my friend, and it was fun connecting with 6 strangers. Where to next?
