Party Weekend

Well, Christmahanakwanzika is practically beating down our door, so that means it's time for the endless string of party invites. More on that in a subsequent post, including my special take on the holidays.

This weekend I danced my butt off. Starting early, on Thursday once again I returned to the Salsa Rueda classes at work and had a blast. We had one of the largest groups of people I've ever seen at the class, so much so that I ended up helping teach the second wave of (mostly new) people who showed up.

Saturday night was the night I went to the company holiday party. The company is so huge now that this year they had to split the event into two nights, of which you could attend one. I kid you not, they must have spent at least a half mil on each night. It was ridiculous. The place was packed, and there was a very very good DJ in the one large room, and a live band in the other. Lots of dancing was had that night.

Sunday was the big game between the Steelers and the Patriots. The Steelers had a shot at breaking the Patriot's thus-far perfect record. I went up to Zach's in Millbrae with Yaneeka H, Derek P, Dave B, and Derek's buddy Sam. Unfortunately the Steelers were pretty much helpless against the Pats, and they were not the best in the sportsmanship department. :( But, my buddy Eric D was able to use my Steelers ticket (since I no longer live in Boston), so all is well.

Then, Sunday night I went to Eric P.'s birthday party at Jelly's, a Salsa club in SF. I knew I was in trouble when I was tired BEFORE getting to the club. Somehow, I rallied and we all had a great time in SF.
