Washington, DC (USA)

[shopping and a haircut in the afternoon (HOT!) - met up at Eddie's (for his birthday party) around 1830 - stayed there (pizza and margaritas) until around 2100 - took Metro from Braddock Road to Farragut West - walked down 18th Street NW to the Public Bar near Dupont Circle - I can't even remember when I last tried to get into a club with a giant line... - eventually made it inside (around 2200) - went straight to the roof (for a VIP table to celebrate) - everyone having a great time - music loud and entire stucture vibrating - lots of smokers... - several folks from work arrived a bit later - the place got more and more crowded - it never seemed to cool down at all, despite several fans and water misters pointing down to the crowd - witnessed one fight between two girls who spilled drinks on each other - stayed until around 0200 - walked back to Metro, took train back to Braddock Road and then walked back to Eddie's - drove home (tired, but still sweating...)]
