After some initial confusion, my new years ended up at The Continental Club, which featured a wild and crazy band and, a rarity on new years for any club, no cover. I met up with a law school friend and one of her friends. One of the highlights of the night was watching a bunch of college-aged girls shake their tuchuses on stage when the band exploded into an impassioned version of “Secret Agent Man.” What can I say, I’m easy to please. I don't think the club invested much in the champagne because I (and everyone else i saw) made the most horrible face when we drank it. Ugh. Cheap champagne is something to be avoided.

hmm. one of the people i was with was childhood friends with the owner, and when he was on stage, she said, "that guy in the back owns the joint." are we talking about the same guy?

no hangover - i opted for a less alcohol-saturated new years this year. i was in bed by 1, no less. the whirlwind tour of SA was rather short-lived, so i plan to come back before school starts. i'll let you know when Whirlwind Tour v2.0 happens. yeah, i do think that's what they were called. the owner of the club was standing in the back of the stage wearing shades and playing trumpet. i think he got one of the girls to dance next to him.

Was that The El Orbits? I've known their guitar player and his brother for a long time. Jim plays Bazouki with the Flying Fish Sailors at the Renaissance Festival when he's not with the EOs.

I am amazed not only by the timestamp of your post, but also by your uncanny ability to write while in the grips of what must be a truly horrific hangover. Or maybe that's me. Happy new year. Apparently I missed whirlwind tour of SA. What happened? I hope you got to see some folks. It's cool, I'll get over it. No, really, I'm fine.
