I stepped outside my usual routine and hit up the Spoke tonight for the Derailers. It's one of my favorite places to watch people and tonight was no exception. Crammed to the gills, wandering eyes continuously scanned the crowd seeking 3 minutes of companionship. Stay off the dance hall floor if you're there to chat because these people mean business. Believe me and my beer soaked shirt sleeve, there's no room out there for casual conversation. Too bad my amazing dance partner was m.i.a. tonight. She always makes me look good out on the dance floor. -j-
