iron springs chatteau
so, some friends and i went to the iron springs chatteau in mantiou springs for our new years celebration.
the reason we ended up there? we wanted dinner and dancing for cheap and we got all that and more.
we got dinner: family style fried chicken, baked beans, biscuits, coleslaw, and some sort of meat covered in BBQ sauce.
then we had entertainment: a short melodramatic skit about canadian mounties and their nemesies and we did the whole boo hiss, ooh ahh, yay, hubba hubba thing throughout. for those who have never experienced a melodrama- go.
then we were escorted downstairs for "cold appetizers" and party favors- hats, noisemakers and the like.
THEN, they had a d.j. playing some jams for us until 1 a.m..
now, something you should know about manitou springs: it's colorado spring's neighboring hippy town and it's pretty much populated by very eccentric people both young and old. and not necessarily good hippies like haight/ashbury in san fran...these folk are more like the kind you try and avoid. that's who we hung out with and we sure were the only people in our age group there. not too many people were dancing so we decided to take the lead...we danced out little hearts out and even started a conga line. we were SO cool, the bartender gave us a free round of tequilla shots. jealous? then some creepy mullet guy let the party side of his hair take over and grabbed my poor friend betsy for a slow dance, telling her he'd been waiting for that moment the entire evening. awesome.

anywho, the moral of the story is this: if you want to be popular, all you have to do is pick your crowd wisely.
