When I say the evening started slowly, I mean it- it started out S-L-O-W-L-Y. So slowly in fact, that I actually got worried that it would become an unbearably dead night. Within an hour, however, the bar began to fill with groups of people and soon after we had the familiar buzz of a busy night.
However, there was something a bit different about the crowd that came in last night. This time around, the majority of the people who came in were tourists, here for the Big East Tournament. How could I tell? The familiar signs were readily available; Team colors and logos adorning their clothing, and questions that tourists would normally ask about New York. We also got a lot of members of one of the teams playing in the tournament in last night, doing a late night "study session", if you know what I mean.
And of course, the night wouldn't be complete without a dose of "Hot Mess Mondays". This week's edition involved a group of young ladies (I think they were tourists) seemingly competing for the attention of the same guy (a semi-regular of the bar) by holding their own "Pants Off, Dance Off" competition. Excitement personified, let me tell you.
