April 30 - May 1

Another weekend comes and with the days getting longer it is warmer too. We no longer have to deal with coat check. I like it a lot.

Friday night came sort of leisurely. It was raining out but not overmuch and parked on the same street as the club. Got inside Splash and checked out the lay of the place. DJ Max Rodriguez had the boys enjoying themselves but alas my bartender was not in attendance. I made do with some other rather charming and always muscled bartenders that helped me drink the good drink and enjoy the party. The music for the evening was done well. Nothing too old, nothing to high, just a lot of vocals and plenty of men to dance with. The last Friday of the month is supposed to be the BIG party. Which for me was all good in the neighborhood. From the thick new bartender in the front to plenty of 6 foot plus in attendance it was a nice change from the usual Chelsea party boy flavor. We stayed until after 3 and then drove home with another nice evening under the belt.

Saturday brought another afternoon of softball. I enjoyed the sun through clouds, took some pictures and had a good time watching some great games. BASL is a fun way to spend part of your summer (if you are able to get up early enough). Where do some guys find the energy? I get just enough sleep and make sure I take a nap afterwards and so far have been able to do okay. After the games, ordered in Italian for dinner (Chicken Parmesan) and hung out until the clock reached that certain level of lateness.

Now I was going to not be too excited over the Roxy this past weekend. DJ Chad Jack was scheduled to spin and though he is a great DJ, he has not in the past proved to be as fun or upbeat as Manny or recent parties with Peter. Well call me surprised once again. Maybe the springtime is good for the DJs too. I felt the party start on a good note and then proceeded to get only better. I was rating the latter half of my night well into a Level 4. Chad kept us interested, while still layering his mixes and playing some original stuff. We were still treated to some great vocal and Tribal mixes that kept the crowd way into the party and (myself included) dancing until late in the morning. Me and mine stayed until around 4:30 and then wandered outside to hail a car home. (last night for the old fare, hello new price list.) It was a long night but we made it home safely and were happy that we made a go of it.

Much kudos to the DJ much love to all of my friends who hung tough and kept it fun. So glad we all enjoyed. See you all next time (comes sooner than you think). Now back to work...
