i'm losing control... i'm losing control

By the way, if you ran over to apple.com to check out Safari for Windows like I did, you might want to uninstall it for the time being.

it was kinda minimal, and kinda the best night ever

So, I ended up dragging my tired bum to Mayer and Boratto at Cielo. I'm pretty sure that the last time I enjoyed myself this much at a club, Clinton was our president and the Twin Towers were still standing. I left about three hours later than I set out to (that was three hours of looking at my watch and going "OK, just one more song and I'll go").

Highlights of the night:
- The opening DJs dropping better music than I've heard most top tier NYC favorites spinning for the past seven years
- Boratto spinning the prime cuts from his Chromophobia album, each new blip and thud eliciting roars from the crowd
- Mayer bopping around in front of his laptop (remember records?)
- A rather euphoric clubgoer informing me that I was actually the person that killed Laura Palmer
- Learning the Cielo economy:

- Watered Down Stoli Orange + Tonic = $10 plus $1 tip
- 12oz Amstel Light = $7 plus $1 tip
- 22oz Sapporo = $10 plus $1 tip
- 22oz Sapporo = bargain
- 2 x 22oz Sapporo = bloated on the dancefloor

-Mayer dropping the Carl Craig remix to Junior Boys "Like a Child" at 3 a.m.


Uh-oh point of the night:
- Getting into the cab after everything and realizing I was pretty darn tired after all

Also:
-The back of my head and my arm ended up in a picture on Resident Advisor (I really wasn't trying to make shadow puppets, really I wasn't)
- The New York Times liked it too
