I could barely keep my eyes open last night at 10, and I almost didn't go to the show. So glad I did: Ghostbar, for one night, felt like Minc. The crowd was casual and hip and diverse, and tons of folks were dancing, all in a big cluster in front of the DJ booth. People were laughing, smiling, whooping - there was such great energy in there.
Louie Vega is short, so I could only really see his hat from where we were standing in back. But he got everyone pumped. He opened with these rat-a-tat-tat bongo drums that instantly got my shoulders' shimmying. (It was like a trance, I couldn't help it.) Then he played a bunch of classic-sounding house - just really good, danceable beats, laced with soulful vocals.
We left around 1 a.m. because I couldn't shake my tiredness. (Going out three nights in a row and working during the days can grate on a girl.) But next time I'm going to plan better so I can see the whole thing. He's worth it!
