We stayed at the Westin River North, only a short stagger from Vision Nightclub. After spending nearly 8 hours in the car, three of which were during the last 30 miles of the trip, GAH!, we arrived to the hotel at a quarter to 9PM. After a nice, hot (nearly scalding) soak in the tub to relax, we were on our way to dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. We kept it on the small side, with a small salad and grilled chicken on the side for me, and a plate of fries and a tall, alcoholic beverage for Dan.
We arrived at the venue at 10:30PM. The club was labyrinthine with at least 4 floors. The opening talent in the main room left something to be desired. At the second stage, where Samuel would play, I met a lady deejay named Dirtybird. She was excellent! I danced to her beats for awhile then got tired. So, I took a nap in a comfy overstuffed loveseat and waited for either Sasha or Samuel to come on.
Samuel finally started his set at 1:30AM and the drinks started flowing, first they were Ketel One vodka and Redbulls, then Ketel One and tonics with a lime.
Dan took this picture of me after I discovered that I had downed mybeverage...so sad!
Samuel rocked it! I hadn't danced like that since my raving days. ^_^
At about 2:30AM, we found our way to the main room. Sasha had just begun his set. The air was thick with cigarette smoke, I could barely breathe. The dancefloor was shoulder to shoulder with sunglass-wearing eurotrash hipsters, blech! And, sadly, Sasha's tunes were kinda crappy. We tolerated the atmosphere for about 15 minutes and decided there was much more fun and AIR to be had at the second stage, so we left.
Samuel L. Sessions, in from Gothenburg, Sweden on the ones and twos just for us.
