Current mood: Ecstatic!
The day after EJ and I had picked out the club for our Girls' Night Out, I decided to look a little further by Googling indie music on the Internets. One of the results that popped up was a piece from an online music zine called Subterranean Blog which mentioned a club called Umbra Penumbra. It was the first one listed in the article, so I tp'd over there to check it out.
Turns out that this was the club I had been looking for: the music was a nice mix of 80s through today: some Elvis Costello, Kaiser Chiefs, and everything in between. The owner of the club, Violet Morellet, was very friendly, and was interested when I said I was bringing a bunch of librarians the next night for our Girls Night Out. After dancing there for about an hour I said goodbye and IM'd EJ that I had found an even better club for us. I spread the word to my cohorts that the event was on for Saturday, July 14th.
Saturday came and I agonized over what to wear. I know, I know—it's only a cartoon. But even cartoon gals have to look cute! So I finally decided on an outfit consisting of black low waist flared pants, a black shirt tied under the boobs, and black pseudo chuck taylor gym shoes. All in all, my avatar Vikki looked pretty hot that night.
When I got to the club my friend SF was already there. We chatted for a while and eventually 3 other gal friends of mine (EJ, HVX, and MQ) showed up. We were laughing and joking and enjoying the music and the crowd. Strangely, there was only one guy at the club, ssmariner Flossberg. Violet was joking that ss likes to strip for people, and SF started hooting and hollering for him to take it off. (We librarians can be a rowdy bunch, true to the stereotype of what happens when we let our hair down!) Then, suddenly, we notice that ss was, in fact, taking his clothes off. Ok, well, just his jacket and shirt. But it was still pretty funny!
Eventually the night came to an end and we decided that we had to do it again soon. I couldn't believe how much fun I'd had just sitting at my computer! But the music was great, the chatting with friends was fun, and it was a blast.
The next day I went back to Umbra Penumbra and ss was the DJ in an empty club, so I stayed and danced and talked to him as I folded laundry in real life. He asked what kind of music I liked and I told him some genres and songs that I liked. Then he asked me the most exciting question I've been asked in ages: "Would you like to come up with a 2-hour set list for me to play when I DJ next Sunday?"!!!!!! I gave a resounding HELL yeah!" I am so totally excited about this. I'm a guest DJ! So if any of you are in Second Life next Sunday, July 22, 4pm SLT, stop by Umbra Penumbra (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Esoterica/79/158/24) for a dance, and say hello to Vikki!
