Post-dinner fun

After dinner, we ventured back to Malini’s neighborhood, Uptown, to see the new apartment and patronize one of the local watering holes, the CC Club; what a place! For those of you familiar with Mary Ann’s in Cleveland Circle, it’s kind of like that but bigger and with food. However, upon inquiring about the food options, our waitress informed us, “We’re only serving fried appetizers now.” Because of the pair’s health-consciousness, they refrained from ordering food, and instead started on a $7.50 pitcher of PBR.

After a few minutes of pleasant conversation, David was in the mood for some top 40 beats. Malini spied a jukebox in the back and the two went over to it with dollar bills in hand. Two dollars earned them seven songs and David was craving some of JT’s hits. However, to his dismay, the jukebox in this Mary Ann-like hipster bar was devoid of Justin Timberlake. Disgusted, he let Malini make all of the choices and so the bar was serenaded with a variety of vaguely familiar indie rock songs.

Shortly after picking out music, there were two rounds of visitors that came to join in the fun. The first was Scott, a local Minneapolitan that Malini met a few weeks back. He is a gregarious fellow, whose loud voice was able to cut through the din of the bar. He was brought up to speed on some of the earlier happenings of the evening, thus getting acquainted with the fun times that ensue when spending time with David and Malini. Next came Priyanka, Malini’s new roommate, and her friend, Nikhil. We all had a very nice time, commenting on the hipsters at the bar, including one who insisted on not only wearing his flashing-red butt bike reflector but also decided to draw additional attention to himself and his backside by keeping the reflector flashing while hunched over the bar. The night ended with a walk home and some frozen cake eating, compliments of Priyanka’s friends in Rochester.
