SHOUT!

wednesday was fun.
thursday was a blast.
friday was kick ass.
saturday - we took them to church!
night started out fun, everyone in a good mood, ready to party. first dance set was pretty good, me and tim already feeling it. back into the country music and we still had them dancing along. midnight rolled around, and it was game on. floor pretty much stayed packed up until he played "7" to close out the set, just to be stupid - because sometimes.. ya just gotta. we got back in on the country music and then watched the floor just keep gettin better and better. didnt really let up even with the fast country that they cant really keep up with unless they really know how to dance. then we rocked it up: "Sweet Home Alabama", "Takin' Care of Business", "Love Shack", "Louie, Louie","Jail House Rock", "The Twist" remix, "Rockin Robin"... all those and a few others.. but when we played "Shout!"... WOW!!! first time i can remember when we played the whole thing through, but it was so worth it. the entire dance floor was packed, and almost everyone all around the building was throwing their hands up and shouting and singing along. it looked like an old time gospel meeting for a little while. it was just plain beautiful.
so we moved on to last call, and then more country till about 2:05, then it was play time again. it was a really good set, and probably did more advertising for the club and having a good party than 2 months worth of radio spots.
not that there werent a couple of shakey spots during the night; 1 fight at the back bar, and one guy gettin sucker punched on the dance floor, a little bit of internal club issues but nothing really dragging the party down, and that was about it. about the normal stuff you would expect for a saturday night when it was busy.
i just plain havent had that much fun at work in years. (gee, i wonder why)
sunday - slow, but still fun for me. kinda one of those comedy nights that gives you a reason to smile.
we're gonna see what wednesday is like. probably gonna be fun. one way or another...
