Gonzales y Gonzales

Dear Gonzales y Gonzales,

Thank you for helping me have a great birthday "party", where I somehow convinced a bunch of friends that the best thing to do on a Saturday night was to have margaritas and go salsa dancing. The margarita part was an easy sell, it's the willingness to accept salsa dancing that amazed me more. Thanks G&G for giving me a good meeting place.

Not that you didn't try valiantly to mess it up several times, G&G. Good thing you came through in the end. When our table was about an hour late, you made it up by giving us a great location in the middle of the dance floor area. Despite having the cheesiest 90's and top 40 music when we first arrived, you fixed it with the solid Latin band for the rest of the evening. We'll need to talk about the loud dj music though, I wasn't a fan of that. And though your service was horrendously slow, it was okay because it gave us the perfect excuse to hoard our central location.

In all honesty, I dont know how the night would have been if our table wasn't so well located. Good real state is hard to come by, specially in a dance club. Sure, it was louder than the "dining" room and harder to talk, and our appetizers never arrived, but it was an anchor in the storm, an island where to lay our stuff, a home in the the wilderness of the dancing crowds.

I am not sure if I'd go back to G&G, the type of crowd wasn't fully my scene. But the dancing was awesome, the drinks good, and my birthday was fun. In the words of one of my friends, it was a Salsa Moshpit. And I'm pretty sure he meant it as a compliment.
