Johnny's Hideaway



Also know as "Atlanta's only Nightclub for Big Kids"...exceeded my expectations. I actually had a fabulous time. I'm happy to say all of the copywriters are fun and entertaining dancers. I can't stand it when there's that one person in a group of friends that hates dancing and abstains from having fun with the rest of the group. Luckily, no one is like that in this group so I predict many more fun times ahead!

Johnny's Hideaway is a place where time travel is possible and mature adults can transform into carefree, young adults for an evening at a time. The music is a loud mix of swing, Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Elvis, and a vast array of popular music from the 40s through the 90s. It's lively every night of the week, packed with people from all walks of life, the majority over the age of forty. We were the only twenty-somethings in sight.

The dance floor was overflowing. Couples danced closely to "The Way You Look Tonight," and singles "shook their grove things." We observed how this resembled a wedding reception. It's so refreshing to go out and really dance as opposed to the usual booty-dancing and grinding. Don't get me wrong, they have their place, but people my age don't appreciate real dancing anymore. I sound like my mom. Eek.

We made a deal after our kick-off toast to all dance with an old person. Chrissy, Meredith and I all danced with older men -- all creepy in their own way. (At first I tried to get out of it seeing as I had already danced with Adrian and that could have counted as my older man -- seeing as I'm 22 and he's a whopping 26 :)-- but I played along and danced with the first guy that asked.) Adrian was a total player. Every time I looked over he was surrounded by women. When I started dancing with him one of the women elbowed me! I'm not making this up! Oh, and Tyrese decided he was too cool and didn't dance with anyone but us. (He really thinks he's cool like Tyrese the model. Just kidding, Ty!)

All in all the night was a total blast. I think I had the best time I've had since I've been here. :)
Now it's back to work!
(Chrissy has my camera so pictures will be added later!)

"whopping 26 years old...older man...total PLAYER"! Ooh, that's a low blow. Let me get my walking stick so I can walk over and whoop your ass! That is, if I can make it down the stairs. =)
