On Saturday night my roommates asked me if I wanted to go to this bar in Detroit with them for something called "Dork Wave", which they said was some kind of 80's music party. Since it didn't seem like much else was gonna be happening, I decided go with them. The place, Cork Town Tavern, was kinda cool and eclectic, very moody, with lots of colored "rope lights". We went up these creaky stairs that were all like, palates and particle board and stuff, and at the top was where "Dork Wave" was happening.
It was really crowded. Some people were dressed all 80's and stuff, one girl was wearing leg warmers and this one guy looked exactly like...what's his name with the thick framed glasses and the hat...kinda ugly-lookin' dude...I forget. Oh wait- Elvis Costello?
I had a REALLY strong long island, so I was pretty much ready to rock it out when they started playing the music. The music was great, they played some classics like Footloose, but mostly it was this obscure electronica (correct term?)stuff and I totally just danced and enjoyed the music. It was pretty great, I dug it.
