Jessi loves to dance

 




This last weekend we decided to go dancing. We didn't make the decision until we were already on our way to City Center to listen to some band play. We always talked about going out and finding a cool club to dance at once Jessi was 21, and that day had come. We were a little nervous and we didn't have any clue where to start so we got on Yelp and started looking for places to dance in the Montrose area. At about 11:00 PM we pulled up and parked in a neighborhood just off of the main road. We were looking for a place called "Boondocks", but when we walked back to the intersection where Boondocks was suppose to be, we found like 4 bars/clubs. Unsure which one was which, we just decided to try them all. The streets were packed with people and we could hear a lot of music playing, so we thought we must have been at the right place. The first place we went too ended up just being a bar. We walked all the way through the place looking to see if there was dancing in the back but all we found were bathrooms. Which was lucky, because we both needed to use them. The funny thing was they had two women's bathrooms and only one men's. I remember this being a huge conversational topic of people as they made their way back to use the restrooms. We left that place and crossed the street and found "Boondocks". I was a little upset they made up pay like $3 to get in, but it did sound like there was for sure some dancing going on. We got in (and this was the first night Jessi had ever been carded) and went upstairs to the dance floor. Needles to say, there was no dancing. The music was really bad and everyone was just standing around... Well, this story could get really long... so I'm just going to speed things up a little. We crossed the street again and went to a different club, this one was free, and people inside were really dancing. But it was a very strange place. Most people inside were very overweight and the music was some kind of German industrial techno with projectors showing music videos that will haunt our memories for years. So we left that place and went back to Boondocks to see if the music improved and people started to dance. This too was a waist of time so we walked back to our car. When we got in the car a police officer drove up next to me and asked me to roll down my window. The nice lady cop informed me that my car would be towed if I left it there... good thing I was leaving. We decided to try our luck in midtown. We found the highest rated place in midtown and went over. This place had awesome music. But still no dancing. About to give up for the night, I decided to ask some locals where we should go. They told us to walk up the street a little ways to the drinkery. So we did. When we got there we saw that there were about 3-4 clubs/bars on this corner as well. Then we noticed people waiting in line to get into this place called "The Red Door". We thought if its good enough that people are willing to wait in line then we should give it a try. The line went pretty fast and before we knew it we were dancing the night away on a really nice dance floor with really sweet music with a lot of really fun people. The night was a success.
