Small Towns, Saturday Night...

This past weekend, I went to Spalding. Spalding is real small.

After driving down two streets, we found all the vehicles, and of course, the party. Or so we thought... We walked into the bar thinking that with dozens of vehicles outside, there would be lots of people inside. There were 3 people playing cards and 3 people playing pool. And us.

Alicia, Krista and I thought we should have one drink, not just turn around and leave. The first thing we noticed was the fluorescent sweatshirt of the 80's inspired bartender (blue eyeshadow and pink lipstick too). We all looked at eachother and wondered if this was normal and she always dressed like this or if she was dressed up to play cards.

Sometimes in a small town, you just can't tell. It's hard to judge a mental illness from appearance. Well, harder than you'd think!

Long story - short: Party was in the hall next door, and it WAS 80's themed, but sucked. It was all hockey players and their pucks! Plus, the vodka and diet at the bar tastes like blood with a metal aftertaste.

Not a bad blog, except I would have mentioned how cool the card and pool players were, especially the one with the Sketchers rockers. There was some extra cool factor in play there. And also the smell in that "hall" that was about the size of a large living room. I can't describe that smell in any way other than "people's insides."
