Last night my wife and I went out with a friend.. we went to see people we know perform at the Hollywood Casino in Grantville. The band is Sapphire. They are great. You should check them out. It was a great time.. but as someone who doesn’t go out too much these days, I was left with perplexing questions:
1) Why are older males who are single wearing sweaters at casinos ? And why do they have a creepy look and wink at older women who are dancing (and dancing in very inappropriate ways for their age at that)? Seriously, this guy made me want to instantly report him to police, somewhere. I bet there’s at least three bodies along the I-81 corridor that he knows all about..
2) Are people ballroom dancing everywhere now? Seriously.. this man who looked a little like a cross between my own brother an the character HAROLD from THE STAND was rocking his ballroom skills on the casino dance floor.. He was with a woman, but at times she just stood back when his feet caught on fire.. he did some weird move where he gyrated his hips and thrust his pelvis towards her while he was motioning his hair back and then, out of no where, would start twisting her around. All that set to the songs from the 1980s including KISS ME DEADLY. Not sure I can hear anything again without thinking of his slender and odd body motioning through the crowd — obviously trying to get more attention than the main attraction..
3) Food shouldn’t be served unless it’s actual food. I got chicken tenders. Or something. I think they were meat—but not quite sure they were the meat of a chicken.
My observations are based off of being a dad and typically staying in Friday and Saturday late nights.
Although with a successful sleep process that our awesome babysitter had with our son, maybe we can get out there more. But probably not to any hopeless and smoke-filled gambling hall of a casino for a bit..
I need to brush up on my dance skills. Since I’m married, I won’t need the tight sweater.
People are weird..
