CITY HALL Teatro y Restaurante: CITY HALL Theater and Restaurant

Not too much to speak of in the past 24 hours or so.

We went to studio, as per usual, to get some work done, then went to another great group dinner at Gran Via before heading back to Aldana to get ready for a night out on the town at a club, for which the title of this entry is named.

We booked our place on the guest list through Barcelona-Home, our rental agency, and showed up around 1:30...all 12 of us...only to find that, while in the US no one goes out until midnight, in Barca...the party doesn't begin until 2 or 3 am! We had a good time entertaining ourselves until more people showed up. We attempted to branch out by spreading ourselves between the main downstairs dancefloor and the downstairs patio, but once we were seen as a group it was difficult to remove the "big sign." It is also harder to spread out at clubs as a group because almost everyone has a b/f or g/f back home, so none of them really want to leave the group in this type of situation anyhow.

Needless to say, however, I danced my way into the path of a guy from Colombia. His name is (don't laugh) Alfredo, a 23-year-old mastering in Cinematography here in Barca, and he's a killer dancer. No worries, all, my big brothers kept an eye out for me and I was completely aware of my surroundings, etc.

So...6 am comes really fast when you are dancing the night away in Barcelona! Here's hoping we've officially managed to make a friend here in la ciudad!
