OMG....IT'S 1:00 A.M. !!

For my younger readers 1:00 a.m. may seem early-as in the night is just getting started-but for two 60 somethings it is way past our bedtime! It is Friday night (after our weekly dance class) and we venture out to Johnny & June's Ultra Saloon for the "Last Chance Dance" event-a final "hail Mary" to win tickets for the George Strait/Reba McEntire concert on Saturday night. Who would have guessed that everyone 20 to 40 years old in Winston-Salem would be there as well? No, our ticket was not drawn for the concert tickets but what a great time! FIFTEEN HUNDRED packed the saloon which features a mechanical bull, sports bar area and a HUGE dance floor. Who knew you could actually dance in a space the size of a postage stamp, holding a beer and it be so much fun! Will definitely go again...We were on a roll so at midnight we stopped in at Club Odyssey (an alternative lifestyle nightclub) and thoroughly enjoyed the midnight show with female impersonators Simply Liz, Tiffancy Bonet and Arabia Knight-the beer buzz probably helped. After driving by the club for more than fifteen years and always saying "one day we should go.." our day/night finally arrived. I have checked that experience off my "bucket list". My only regret? I did not bring my camera! Maybe next time?
