Er, OK...

Well, last night didn’t go exactly as I expected. But that’s not a bad thing, I suppose. I ended up going out to dinner and heading downtown, but it wasn’t with the person I left voicemail for. S actually called me last night as I was preparing for an exciting night of watching the Olympics.

After dinner, we headed downtown, mostly because the bars in town were ... fairly scary, were having karaoke night or were sports bars. And we figured it would be a good chance to do some people watching. We went to this piano bar that hasn’t been open for too long (it used to be a really cool Irish pub, dammit), found a spot to sit at the back of the bar, and ended up hanging out there until closing. After that, we went back to the restaurant to get his car and ended up talking until about 5 this morning. He’s supposed to call me tonight. We’ll see.

The bar wasn’t bad. The piano players were pretty decent. They had four musicians who rotated through... it was two people on piano most of the time and one person on drums. One drummer was pretty boring, and he didn’t play piano (thankfully). The other two were good. With school in session, the crowd skewed more toward the college-aged folks. I had all kinds of thoughts about the crowd last night that I planned on writing about, but I’m just not feeling that creative right now. Today’s my Monday. I’m pretty screwed for the rest of the week. And I get to head in a bit earlier today to work on a project I’m not sure I’ll have time for tomorrow. At least I can guarantee getting out at 11.

Anyway, I hope I get the energy/creativity to write about some of these people at the bar. We’ll see.
