It's been over a year since the last ladies-only durbo party, (not counting the office version in February) and I guess word has spread because the attendance was up by a lot and it was crowded! Except for the fact that I don't have time to talk to everyone, I think the more the merrier, but more people make for more music opinions and I admit that I got a little stressed out about it. This is where I will also admit that my stress slowed down my drinking which made for a better 'morning after' since I found myself quite sober when the party hit its peak. My wild shoes from the nyc durbo party inspired my outfit with a gold punk theme and the shoes were a hit with the ladies. Things got rowdy with lots of body movement, and if I were to say what songs actually triggered the highlight of the evening, I must specifically site the following:
The Electric Slide (which brought lots of wallflowers to the dance floor)
I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor (which is a crowd pleaser)
Jeremiah Was a Bull Frog (I think people's minds were blown by this one - the singing could be heard for miles I'm sure)
Little Willy (enough said, they exploded)
But the moment that defined the night for me was the most spontaneous moment I can remember having in years, maybe ever (that is bold, but I think true)... during the Little Willy screaming fest, I literally without any warning or premeditated thought, did a body slide and I mean belly-first fling down the middle of the dance floor!! I think everyone was in shock, including me, because I don't remember thinking before doing it - you know - you have that moment where you might think "hey maybe I should body slide" and THEN you body slide... but no... just WHOOOSH - a spontaneous combustion of diving movement!!!! I'm sure everyone thought I was extremely drunk, but what made it funnier for me was that I did this without the influence of alcohol and I am laughing even as I type this because it was so ridiculous. I was so overcome with joy and enthusiasm that I even surprised myself! A rare thing indeed.
