Cleveland SUCKS!
(in stark contrast to that oh-so-famous song claiming 'Cleveland Rocks')....
...yeah
So anyways....Erin and I decided to go out beginning Friday night after work. We had a drink with my manager and then we went to dinner downtown, hoping afterwards to find a club so we could dance.
Years ago, 'The Flats' was the place to be...now, it's just a ghost town....
There are plenty of bars and club-like places in the Warehouse District, unfortunately, thing apparently don't get started until sometime after 11PM or midnight - which is fine - but for the most part, even if things do get started then, I am not sure we'd find anything other than the 20-somethings getting drunk and trying to pick each other up....
We decided to go again on Saturday - this time we would begin much later and hope to find an interesting venue. We got to 'The Grid' around 11PM - it was dead - this was a pretty happening club at one point, mixed crowd, now it just seems to be a gay hook-up place (which is fine but I was hoping for a little bit more of a dance club atmosphere).
Since we were dressed for it, the next stop was 'The Chamber' - in Lakewood, OH. Nominally better crowd - however they all seemed to be under-aged and the music became annoying shortly after the dancing started. And what the fuck is up with the glow sticks???? Highlight of this adventure was running into an old friend. Oh yeah and Mr. C~ if you are reading this I am going to kick your butt! You should have come out with us - that would have made the evening much better - besides, I am holding your CD for hostage (LOL).
Anyhow I am convinced that if you really want to go clubbing, you need to arrive at midnight OR, you need to go to another city...I'm thinking I need another city at this point....
On the much brighter side, I spent a wonderful weekend with the love of my life, my husband, connecting on so very many levels as usual. Thanks baby, I always have fun when I get to be with you.

Sweetie,
I wish you were available to come out with us this Saturday. We're doing dinner at Union Station, and then hitting the midnight Rocky Horror show!
