10/13-10/15 Return to New York and Return of Manny

So So Busy. Updates so far and few in between. But at least I'm still having fun. I had just returned from my long weekend and short work week to start a new weekend. I did not go out on Friday Night, just came home and watched TV. I even went to bed at a reasonable hour because I wanted to make sure I went into the weekend well rested.

I awoke on Saturday morning, enjoyed delivery breakfast, and made ready to go to the gym. Russ drove us over to the city and we worked out at the NYSC near City Hall. The workout went well and afterwards we headed over to Wendy's and had lunch. I had a burger myself and watched Russ have his own. Afterwards we headed back to Brooklyn and chilled out for the rest of the afternoon. My poor Powerbook was still keeping me from my full music transferring capabilities (from PC to Powerbook to Ipod) but on the PC in the office I still was able to search on Beatport and Itunes for new tunes. When dinnertime finally rolled around I had my chicken caesar salad and after watching Cops on Fox I went ahead and did the weekly haircut. Once that was over we showered and cleaned up and dressed for the night out.

Russ and I piled into the Murano and headed into the city. After one loop around the block we found parking just down the block from the club and headed up the street. After saying hi to Derek I headed inside the club and said hello to the wristband girls and then coatcheck. I also spoke with Aisha and told her much fun I had up at the Black and Blue. After speaking for a little bit I caught up with Russ at the bar and then said hello to Jose. I gave him a gift shirt brought back from Canada and discussed how quickly the place was filling up. Our Roxy DJ for the evening was Manny Lehman who had not had a Roxy appearance since before the summer time. It was a long wait but I knew it was going go as well as usual as virtually no other large party DJ reads the crowd and gives them what they want. Once I heard the opening beats to his own mix of "Jump" and I was up on the speaker in the asian section and dancing. I stayed through a tribal song and before I could get off the speaker he segued into "Sexyback" so I took off my shirt and danced some more and once the song changed once again to "Promiscuous" I lit my hands with the lights and danced some more before finally returning over to my friends near the bar. The mood of the party stayed upbeat through all of the expected hits that Manny played for the crowd and the place stayed packed until far after 4am. Russ was still recouping from our trip to Montreal so we left the party around 4:20am and stopped at the diner on the corner for Russ to have a bite to eat before heading back to BK. Another party enjoyed and while not too many of our friends were there the crowd was upbeat and the party was all that could be expected.

Sunday I woke to delivery breakfast and watched football games on Fox and CBS through the afternoon. I made stuffed shells for dinner and we enjoyed those before settling in for the evening programming. Of course we took a short break to pick up some vanilla ice cream from Baskin Robbins and catching up to The Wire on HBO at 10pm. And now another week of work ahead. (It happens to the best of us). Until next time
