Yet another sober weekend for Raissa. I'm starting to like this more and more, strangely enough.
But just because it was sober doesn't mean it wasn't fun.
On Friday, Dennis and I headed down to Denver for some people watching and hanging out. We started out at Rock Bottom Brewery, then watched drunk people and ate gelato on Larimer Square. Kenny joined us, and we hit up a new (to us) bar on 16th Street called Tilted Kilts. Pretty nice place, if you don't mind staring at practically bare-chested women for the duration of your stay. Ironic that I was there with two gay guys... While we were there, I ran into a kid from Jamestown who lived in Watson. I was his RA...
Saturday, Dennis, Kenny, and I went to Longmont for our studio teacher's housewarming party. It was a good time, with mostly faculty and a few students mingling and eating some delicious curry chicken on a stick. Mmmm...
Saturday night, Pasha and I had plans with the girls we met at International Coffee Hour a few weeks ago. We hit up a Chinese restaurant in Boulder, then headed to Denver for the highlight of my weekend: Asian-style karaoke. I'd never actually experienced Korean karaoke, but having had many friends from there, I more or less knew what to expect.
In Asian karaoke, instead of singing for a whole bar full of people who you don't know and having to wait 2 hours to sing,you can sing for only your friends and as often as you want to. Each group gets its own room, and each room is stocked with books, a TV, a sound system, microphones, couches, and the like, and the people in your group are the only people who hear you. You can all sing together, dance around, laugh, sing every 5 minutes, and have a great time. It was totally worth $5.00 for 2 hours!
The people who we met at the karaoke place wanted to go clubbing in Denver. I wasn't given that memo before we left, so I was not appropriately dressed for clubbing. Instead of clubbing, Michelle, Marcus, Pasha, and I walked around downtown Denver, enjoying the crowds and some conversation.
On Sunday, I was completely unproductive. I got up at noon, watched Season 2 of ER, went to church, and hosted a movie night in my apartment.
