My friend Ryan from San Diego came up for a visit. He was here for the Economic Conference in the city...nerd alert! Aside from all the crap I got from the Colts losing, I had a pretty fun weekend.
Ocean Beach - It was a beautiful day in the city
Breakfast at the Cliff House - Damn him and his River's Jersey too!
Clift Hotel - I think we could have fit one more on that chair
Rave:
So, we checked out Infusion Lounge on Saturday night. It's the new hippie, happening lounge/club in Union Square. First off, the place was beautifully decorated. It's very Asian inspired meet Black Widow. There's no line yet since it's only their soft opening so we got in with no waiting time at all. Bathroom is unisex which is totallly fine except I've always had a problem with sharing public bathroom with men. I've read somewhere that every 5th guy that walks out of the bathroom does not wash their hands...Eeewww! The back room dance floor is pretty cool. Again, going with the Asian motiff, they have this huge gong as the center piece of the room.
Rant:
About 75% of the loungy area of the club were ropped off for VIP. This is SO LAME since 75% of the people there including my group were regular people (non-vip). So more than half of VIP area were empty while the rest of the lounge were packed. No place to sit or mingle. Don't they know that the people that are already in there are the ones that matter because they are the ones, like me who will write about their club? Not that my opinion matters much but it would take a really amazing DJ for me to go back.
Tight squeeze
We got tired of not being able to move about so we left "Confusion Lounge" and cabbed to Bubble Lounge. Now this place is more like it. Plenty of seating for the loungers like myself. Music was perfect and I was able to hold meaningful conversations like this...
Obnoxious guy: So how come you're not drinking Champagne? This place is known for the best bubblies you know, it is called Bubble Lounge (in his semi-condescending voice...)
Me: I don't drink Champagne, it gives me headaches
Obnoxious guy: What! okay, let me get you a hot lady's drink then...
Me: Dude! How about you scoot over, give me your money and I'll buy myself a manly beer... (ha ha ha! he walked off, mouthing inaudible sentences)
Fun times!
A little bit of sad news. I had my follow up foot appointment today and took x-rays of my foot. Doctor said that there's still some soft tissue damage and healing to happen and the bone is not setting properly so I have to take it easy on the activity until it gets a little better. I feel totally fine though but you never know what's happening underneath, I guess. Yes, it's my fault. I really pushed myself, now I have to pay the price for being so obstinant. My next appointment is not for another 6 months! What do I do until then? Any fun suggestions? This sucks :(

that's a crazy x-ray! 3 screws in your foot?
