Busy Musical Weekend in Northern Colorado

It was a busy four day weekend. First we had our party on Wednesday evening, then we had to clean and recover on January 1st. Then that evening we went out salsa dancing at Suite 152 in Fort Collins. We got there early to go to the lessons, but they weren’t open so we went to Lucky Joes (I think that’s the name of the bar) and had appetizers and peanuts that we got to throw on the floors.

We got a merengue lesson that could be a Larry David moment, I swear. Eets so seemple! There was reggaeton, salsa, hip-hop, techno and merengue played there. We were some of the oldest people there since it was 18+ night. But it was fun. I love to dance, Britton, not so much. We are also planning to take salsa lessons here at the Greeley FunPlex starting tomorrow night to prepare for our trip to Puerto Rico. 

 

Then, Friday night, Shana invited me to temple and then to Island Grill to watch a co-worker’s husband play in a band.

Happy New Year 2009 Planet Earth!

We rang in the New Year with friends and it was pretty fun. It started out later than we had planned and a lot of people canceled last minute for various reasons. It didn’t feel like much of a year to celebrate, but it was still fun and I am glad that we had a nice group of people to spend the first few hours before and after 2009 with. We played the game Catchphrase with everyone and that was fun, hung out, made Pina Coladas and other drinks, then we did the white elephant gift exchange and some of them were very funny and strange gifts. We ended up with a Kebob-It 1970-80’s infomercial cooking device. Other memorable items included a couple of ponchos, a 2007-2008 used planner, a lovely Snoopy belt thing, and much more! 🙂 Britton had an even more memorable night (or not), but that’s another story for another time.
