Let's see if there are any wonky things going on as I type this. I think my left shift key is dead on this laptop. That would be really fucked up. :(

Had a great day yesterday. Worked and got a good deal accomplished. Headed down to the hotel around 2:30. I am glad I left when I did as traffic was just starting to thicken as I got right around the hotel. Nice surprise when I checked in - they upgraded me to a suite. Granted it wasn't the biggest suite I have ever had, but it made me happy. Especially if this was a suite, I would have hated a regular size room. The best part was the number of windows. 70% of the walls were glass from almost floor to ceiling. I think this is the brightest hotel room I have ever been in. Settled in and then headed over to the club where the party was happening around six. Like normal I was super early. So I started drinking. And drinking. Aaaand - well you get the idea. I ended up tossing back about 10 drinks in 5 hours last night. Not bad really. I was pretty sober when I left around 11.

The party itself was fun. My friend who agreed to join me showed up around 7:30 and we had a great time hanging out. She is a really good person. I like having her in my life. The other friend who was performing arrived around 9:30 as they went on at 10. Her boyfriend was with her and he joined us at the table. The interesting part was that her and I stood out as we were a good 5 - 10 years older than the rest of the crowd, but it was still fun. The performance happened, we shot the shit, walked her to her car and went back to the hotel. Smart decision on my part as there were cops everywhere. I forgot what's it like in a city where you have club after club. The lines of people, the skanky girls, the guys strutting around like peacocks, wow. I realized I am way too old for this shit. Can't do the whole club thing any more. I am way too old and tired to be waiting outside a club in a line for over priced drinks, nowhere to sit, and way too much noise. Knowing I had a hotel room to walk to made me feel pretty good.

Something else i thought of last night was how while waiting for the first friend, I realized that this was actually about supporting people and not just an excuse to drink or pick up some random girl. I liked that. It made me feel like I had grown up a little bit. Not much, but a little bit.

Time to check out and head home. Kitty will be yelling at me...
