He's DJ-ing. Using turntables to 'mix' vinyl records. He's spinning at a small sports bar in Toronto! Pretty cool. The first time he did this at a small club in Toronto was in the summer & I went. I was really excited for him. I didn't like the type of music he was spinning that night (Dub-Step). But this time he's spinning Drum & Bass - which I like. He makes mixes, records them on CD's & plays them when we go places in the car, so I know a lot of his records.
I don't know what to wear. Decided to wear a pair of black & gray striped pants. Maybe a black sweater; I don't know! I feel pretty conspicuous already ("61-year-old-woman-descends-on-sports-bar" LOL Sigh ) I don't know what to do - don't want to take a purse; need to take driver's licence & money. I guess I'll just take them in my pockets. Decided to wear ski-jacket so I feel okay just hanging it on a chair-back. At least I know a lot of his friends & we like each other. I'm driving my son & at least 2 of his friends (who I like). Also, I don't know the other 2 females who are going! :-(( Well, at least my son isn't spinning the first hour, so I can hang with him. I'm really surprised he's okay with me going. He was ecstatic last time when I went to hear him!!
So we get there at 10 pm so he can check out the tables/sound system before there's music happening. The someone else spins from 10:30 to 11:30, then son spins from 11:30 to 12:30 & I said I was only willing to stay an extra half hour MAX. (This is LATE for me!!!) Plus I'm feeling like I'm fighting off this 'bug' again.
:-( Oh dear. Oh yeah - and I don't drink! Well, I'll nurse a coke or ginger ale. But what do you do if you're dancing? I guess hold it??? If I like the music I'll dance (if others are, which son said they would be). I only like to dance if I like the music. I know I'll dance to at least some of his.
Oh dear.
If you read this before the time, please hold, "it'll be FINE" vibes for me, okay?
thanks, Kath
PS - last time his friends thought it was totally cool that I went. Some even said that they wished their Mom was as supportive of their interests as I am of my son's.
