Party girl

Scott would be so proud of me. I actually went out last night to a club where the entertainment didn't begin until 11pm. But ironically, the entertainment had finals this morning and closed it down at 12:30. So I guess Scott is only partially proud of me since he usually rocks until 4. But hey it's a start.

I'm trying to cram in an entire semester of Denton night life in this last relatively care free week. I went last night to Dan's Silver Leaf again to hear Paul Slavens who does improvisational musical comedy. You give him some sort of song title wrapped in some dollar bills ( he plays the highest dollar amounts first and the rest in descending order) and he makes up a song on the spot. It's all good fun. And he is really excellent at doing this. He has a band made up of guys who just want to jam on a Monday night, all about my age and so they've been playing a long time and are really good. One of them is part of Brave Combo. Sometimes he ( Brave Combo Guy) brings in instruments that he made himself, which he did last night. He strung a bunch of empty booze bottles together and he plays them like a flute, like some sort of wacky Pan. It was fun. But one can still smoke in the bars here in Denton, so this morning my throat is sore and my hair and clothing smell like an ashtray. Ahhhhhh college life!
