Hard Mondays 15-dec-2008
When it's -10 (-23 if you're not in the US of A) and the city is still clearing snow from a weekend storm, I prepare myself emotionally for a dance floor full of little but tumbleweeds. Last night I was guaranteed to have a few friends out due to a birthday and of course the loyal support of trimmiddew, but that would total about 10 people.
Since dj-nitrogen did a last-minute solo last week due to another cold and wet Minneapolis "weather event" keeping our return from Las Vegas from going smoothly, I was all by myself and fully expecting a long and lonely night in the booth.
Maybe it was the end of finals. Maybe it was an early onset of cabin fever. Maybe people were anticipating (or dreading) the impending demise of the Bush administration. Maybe it's all the family obligations looming next week. Whatever the reason, it was the busiest night we've had since Hallowe'en, and one of the most fun nights for me in months.
