A Night Out in Dallas

Monday, March 19, 2012


I've been in a bit of a funk. And this past weekend did nothing to help my situation. We took my sister-in-law and her friend to a K-POP show since my mother-in-law had just gotten out of surgery. I made sure to plan ahead and consider traffic on a Saturday evening, so we left pretty early. Unfortunately, it might have been a bit TOO early. So, we got to walk around Deep Ellum, and have dinner at Deep Sushi before the show. 


You may not know this about me, but I love sushi. This is pretty weird considering that I’ve never been a fan of fish. Anything that smells like a lake really puts me off. But back when I lived in California my husband’s boss took us all out for a company party at a sushi bar, and his wife introduced me to some really delicious sushi. She “walked me through” the process of finding something I would really enjoy. I credit her for falling in love with it almost immediately, lol! Unfortunately, we now live in a small Texas town and are limited to one restaurant that serves only three different kinds of sushi rolls. That’s it. I break down and go there when I’m really craving it. So for us to go to a legit, not so pricey, sushi bar right on our night out was simply amazing. And the fact that it was right around the corner from the club well I only assumed it was fate. It did not disappoint. We left with our belly’s full, and were able to go walk around and take a few pictures. It brought back some memories of good shows, good friends, and great music.


The show was at “The Prophet Bar/The Door” club in Dallas so at least we maintained some of our street cred. When they finally opened the doors, my husband and I bee lined it straight to the bar. It was definitely......different. I don’t think I’ve ever been surrounded by so many pretty Asians before in my life. Seriously, even the guys looked pretty. And their hair? My God, I wanted it so bad. So pretty, shiny, and straight. Ugh, so unfair! They had two “openers”, which weren’t awful, but not great either. We already knew that the band wasn’t exactly going to be our cup of tea but the bartenders were pretty awesome. They were probably the most entertainment we had so we managed to pull through just fine. Sort of.


A lot of craziness goes down when you’re around drunk people. I was the DD so I stayed sober. But after that night I realized why I don’t go out that often anymore. People can be retarded when they drink. Some people just can’t handle their liquor. Sometimes I feel embarrassed for myself because I realize that I was totally in their shoes not that long ago. The girl that was falling in her high heels, wanting to start a fight, or just being down right mean. Yea, I was that girl. So, our night ended on a very bad note, and that’s about as much detail as I want to get into. My sister-in-law and her friend had a blast though! They are definitely fanatics, when it comes to this scene and it made me happy to see her get to be around other people that were just as crazy about this band as she was. She was definitely in her element.

Our Sunday was spent sleeping because we didn’t get home till almost 3 a.m. Emery had been out with my mother, pretty late so she cat napped a lot too. It was so nice to just relax. To be home, and lounge around. It was cloudy and windy, but warm so we were able to get some play time with Emery in. Today I’m hoping will be a slow lazy one too. Classes start up tomorrow and I’m a bit bummed about that. But, it’s not like I can do anything about it! Gotta keep chugging a long. Hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend though!
