The Battle in Seattle part 2
When we got to Seattle proper, we met up with Colleen and her Seattle-based friends for a wonderful dinner at a Thai place. We watched cats act a fool and then called Kris, the battle organizer to get directions to his place. Since Kris had to work at 9:30 and we were still conversing at that point, we wound up heading over to the bar that Kris spins at.
I immediately recognized Cygnus in the bar so we pulled up seats and had a few drinks with Mr. Andersonic, Dev79, and Cygnus until everyone decided to take it to the dancefloor. It goes without saying that I don't spend a lot of time in bars, clubs, and pick up joints. In the past, I've had my share of nights out at clubs but those nights never involved drinking (for me) and they never involved people taking cell phone pictures of themselves while trying to grind to Fergie tracks. It's funny to watch the convergence of narcissism and the human mating ritual in a space like this. People were clearly trying to impress the opposite sex, but they were almost more worried about capturing the experience with 240x320 pixel pictures and texting the results to people who couldn't make it.
Kris Moon is an awesome club DJ, and I can say that even knowing that I hated 99% of the music he had to play. And I LIKE pop music! We were at the club until last call which is a benevolent 1:30 in Seattle. The night wound down at Kris' house where we were met by Jason Carr, DXM, and Vytear, a case of PBR, and the obligatory herb. That's usually not my scene, so I just tryed to hang for a few minutes before retiring to bed upstairs. I got to sleep on a huge air mattress and even though I could feel myself slowly sinking into it like a sausage in a warm bun, I didn't mind because it was 5 AM Atlanta time and I was ready for the sandman.
