Dancing in Strobes of Light

Wow, last night was fun!

I went to pick up one of the girls from my theater department on campus before heading over to the house where the party was being held. When we got there, and spent a good 5 minutes looking for the actual townhouse and probably another 5 looking for a visitor parking, we entered a house filled with fog and lots of pretty lasers and strobe lights.

The girl and I apparently were one of the first ones to arrive along with a small group of guys that were friends of the hostess and her husband. We went up to the second floor to listen to the first "Catfoot" song - which, by the way, was pretty weird yet funny all at the same time - and then went back downstairs and grabbed something to drink to wait and see if any one else from the theater department showed up, since the rest of the people arriving were friends of the hosts (not related to theater). The whole thing was basically a "release party" for the sequel to the first Catfoot song. The song would be played for the first time to the "public" at midnight sharp.

So after a while people we knew started showing up and then things got a lot more fun because it wasn't just the girl I picked up and me standing awkwardly sipping from our cups. When midnight arrived the song was played and it was pretty cool and very "epic-journey-like" ... if that makes any sense. The music was good; the lyrics, however, were bizarre, LOL. The song lasted for about 10 minutes, maybe? All I know is that the song itself had a brief intermission and the lyrics (which the hosts printed and passed out to anyone wanting to read from it while the song played) was double sided! No one could read them anyway because it was so dark and green lasers and red strobe lights were flying everywhere. It literally felt like we were in some night club.

Anyway, the night was pretty fun. I loved spending time with my theater peeps and I actually even danced all night with them! The mood was so mellow and while I did feel awkward dancing to hip hop (oh dear) and other kinds of music, I didn't care of looking like an idiot. I was having fun and no one was paying attention to the dancing anyway so I decided to let loose.

I got home around 4:30 in the morning. Hopefully there will be more of this sort of thing in the future, but filled with my theater class so it's more fun and more mellow :)
