Cicada Club – September 22nd

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

We arrived late as we had spent the day going up and down 3rd Street Promenade, which was loads of fun. Unfortunately for us, the band played about five songs before they finished their set. It was only 10:30 PM. Usually the band ends at 11-11:30 PM. We really wanted to dance.

First, we took more pictures (I will probably edit this post later and post a few of them here or in the Gallery), which were absolutely amazing. If you haven’t been to the Cicada Club, you should. It is the most high class, gorgeous venue I’ve been to.

After we were done with pictures, we decided to go up to the mezzanine lounge where they still had the bar open and some dancing. Unfortunately, the music was not the greatest. In fact, it was very, very boring. Had a couple more dances, and that was it.

We ended up chatting a little bit, then we decided to take off. This night was definitely not the best, but look forward to the pictures!
