A Bar in the Sky

So I went out to the Skybar last night for a friends birthday. I am only 27 not old at all and being at the skybar I am CLEARLY not the oldest or close to the oldest person there but I felt SO OLD. We get there and immediately I start dancing (which isn't surprising). I dance HARD, like I have kids at home and I haven't been out since 1999. After an hour or so I was done, I could have gone home and called it a night but I didn't drive. I pop a squat and cheered my friends on as they danced as if their life depended on it. As I sat there enjoying the band I became aware of a few things. I would like to share with you what I learned from being at the SkyBar.

The Skybar is the only place you can go and see someone who could be your grandfather and not feel bad about dropping it like it's hot.

You never have to worry about not looking fly... there is someone who looks 10x's worst.

It's the only black club you can go to and dance like you are at a white club.

You will feel like a celebrity if you dance b/c men will crowd around you and watch and then ask for your name and number afterwards.

Those same men, if rejected will go to the next female in your crew.

People grind on each other as if there isn't the option of getting a room.

Even on a cold rainy night the faithful will still come out and PARTY HARD.

One drink will have you really "RIGHT".

There are black people who can't dance.

There's something about a soulful singing white guys that fascinates black ppl (thanks RO)

Ok so today I will be going to a hip hop concert... hmm what will I learn from that.
