Pisces Moon
10pm...The Hotel and Restaurant are full of groups of young women, bachelorette parties and other festive small clusters of pretty giggling and wobbling on extra-high heels.
The Ballroom behind me is set up with an extra bar and a deejay; the famous outside pool/patio/bar temporarily closed pending its' annual transformation into Summer Fabulousness.
The Security Staff is expectant, professional, ready-to-go, not yet worn down by the patrons, hoping for a night without Too Much Drama. They coolly man the entrances and check Ids; checking IDs is the easiest thing they will do tonight.
12:30am...the Hallway is jammed. It's hard to be heard over the noisy chatter, and I'm straining my voice. I've read for an impressive number of people tonight, all women. I was worried there might be tears, with the Moon in Pisces creating excess emotional touchiness, but everyone has been super fun and funny. I'm so relieved! Tonight has actually been a pleasure.
1am......We are done! Off to Buzzbrews to grab a bite and wind down. If we get there before the bars close we can get a table, and the place will be only slightly busy; the last thing I want is more loudness and the crush of too many people. I want to NOT TALK for awhile, and to eat just enough to get relaxed and sleepy.
