2/24-2/25 - Last Rox Dance before the Last Dance

Saturday I spent on the phone with friends, finishing up latest Tech CD (Technical Ice 3, IceBreak) and making sure my laundry was put away and the dishes washed. I journeyed outside just to pick up my 2 slices of pizza from Lenny's for lunch. Dinner was delivered around 8pm and after that was finished I cleaned up, haircut and made ready for the night. The Jimmy arrived around 10:30pm and He and Russ played backgammon while I finished CD mastering before we headed out around 11:10pm. We got into the city fairly easily, chatting about cars and such before finding parking on 20th street before I headed down the block and met up with my sister who had come from a baby shower uptown. We were very much looking forward to hanging out and after saying hello to Derek we headed inside to the cashier and then the security and coat check. Once inside Roxy we got our drinks at the bar and the night truly began. My bartender for the eve was Jose and despite the crowds at the front (no back bar) we were able to get pretty good service and I was able to enjoy the party as it built around us. As the second to last party before closing it was not too busy but busier than 2 weeks prior. DJ Merritt put on a nice mix of old and new and the crowd enjoyed all the way through the evening. We did some stops upstairs in the crystal room as we danced to "Dirrty" by Miss Aguilera before heading back down. Over the course of the night we hung out with Eddie, TJ and a friend they had visiting from London. Along with DeAndre and Octavio and the usual people dancing in the periphery as we stayed until 4:45am dancing and having ourselves a grand time with the great cross section of beats. We were able to get a taxi right on 10th ave and said goodnight to my sis before heading back to BK.

Sunday was time to wake up, hydrate, take vitamins and then it was off to the gym to meet Nathan and work out some before heading back home for a costume change. Then it was back into the city to have brunch with Seema and Nathan at our now regular Sunday spot at Croxley Ale in the East V. The food was good with a burger for myself and the conversation as always a great cross section of discussions about men and women and some good moments with our waitress for good measure. We stayed until around 7:20pm as we had to be home for the Oscars and we dropped Seema off before picking up something at the drivethru at KFC before heading back towards home. The Oscars was long but was still good to watch. I tired of it by the end and just kept returning to the living room to catch the winners of the final awards. Another good night and then some. Next week no big plans but plenty to do. Until then.
