I wasn't too psyched to do it, especially because there was nobody in the bar when I showed up with my laptop. (Shut up, vinyl purists!) But it ended up being a super fun night with super fun people. There was some dancing, some singing and some arguing over the relevance of Rod Stewart. And two Springsteen songs because it was the the Boss's 60th birthday. 60!
So yeah, fun!
