Night out on the town

One of our friend's roommates here in Spain is in a band and also DJs. He was DJing at a club, Ocho y Medio, last night and told our friend, Ali, if she wanted to come and invite friends he could get us on the list to get in. Ben and I thought, why not? How often will we get the chance to be on "the list" to get in to a club. Before we left Ali texted us to make sure we knew to dress up and that Ben probably shouldn't wear jeans and he had to wearing something other than tennis shoes. Ben had some suit pants but didn't really want to wear them out. We hoped the tie and sports jacket would distract from the jeans. Ali said sometimes the club people can be sticklers about what  you're wearing and if they don't think you are dressed nice enough they won't let  you in.

We met up early for tapas of course. :) And by early I mean 10:30pm. If any of you know me well, you know I am not a late night person! We didn't head over to the club until about 12:30am. It was pretty fun. The club was huge and had these big TV screens everywhere with the most random images playing across the screen. The first few DJs were ok. One of them, who really just picked songs from a play list, was the winner of Spain's equivalent of the States' "Big Brother" TV show. After her, Ali's roommate finally came on. He was pretty good. We made it until 3am before deciding to go home and that's when the place was finally getting busy! These Spaniards must have caffeine IVs at home, otherwise I don't understand how they can stay out that late!
