let’s take a little DETOUR

I absolutely love Mondays. I know. I’m odd.

Venues are more laid back… work seems a bit more routine (so, there aren’t any of those “oh-my-god-how-do-i-figure-this-one-out” scenarios)… and it’s generally easier to find company, because seriously – who wants to spend the first night of the week just sitting in front of a tv show after having had a fabulous weekend?

I had my second salsa class last night and the class was supposed to meet up at Taj afterwards, but several of us didn’t feel like the $10 cover was worth the practice (especially since I can go in Baraza for free and cover more ground with the types of music the DJ plays). I ended up having a txt conversation with Chris and we decided to meet up at Detour on East 13th between 1st and 2nd. Apparently, it’s famed for its live jazz, but being that it was a Monday night, there wasn’t really anything going on… we ended up just having a drink…

Hmmm.. I forgot the beer that he ordered for me, but it tasted like lemonade mixed with a pilsner if that makes any sense.. and it was gooooood.

Detour definitely looks like a place with “potential” – I’ll have to revisit and get a feel for the live atmosphere to see what all the buzz is about.
