Best We Did It Again

Friday. Long day at work, 4 train straight to Carol's house for her off the hook Pure Dance dance party.

I had prepared a Hip-Hop vs. Hipsters block of music to pick my songs from, but it was clear early on that the crowd wanted Hip-Hop and the hipster music had to wait for 1 am (this party lasted a long time). It sounds like this party was good, I mostly spent it in an autistic bubble in the corner, clicking on the laptop and occasionally looking up to discover total dancefloor chaos.

My thanks to all who came over and said Hi, my apologies to everyone I treated like a growly bear. I couldn't stop thinking about how late I was going to be to work the next morning.

My grand appreciation to whoever dropped the $20 bill that I used to get my cab home that night, it saved my life.
