met an asian last night at outback (bar and nightclub, ooooh, i know you're thinking super snazzy, but bring it back to ludlow :D). after getting ice cream at scoops (PA and i shared the minty moose, i prefer the denali moosetracks just b/c the minty moose had too much chocolate) we got all decked out (i.e. college wear of jeans, top and sandals) and went to look for a bar nearby (since we were our usual sleepy selves at 8 pm). tom's loft tavern looked closed and killarney's only had about 2 cars parked outside of it, but outback (nothing to do w/ the steakhouse chain, but it does have an australian theme) had half a dozen cars parked outside so in we went.
the guy checking ids was really into his job- checked our ids for a good 15 sec, looked at us for a good 10 sec and then our cards for another 15. i'm thinking if i was under 21 i wouldn't drive all the way to ludlow for a drink.
average age at the bar was probably about 40-50 but a 50th birthday party was about to start. around 10:30 the DJ w/ his mac started playing some pretty decent music. the birthday celebrators were super cute and people watching was fun from the bar (beers on tap- $6, i was so hoping being in the middle of nowhere would make for cheaper drinks). they ran out of magic hat #9 after my first beer, which was really sad and had to make due w/ a blackberry wheat which was so-so.
but onto the asian story, he was probably one of the most jacked asians i've ever seen but he looked pretty asian (something about his clothes and glasses and the way he did his hair) and he knew the dj so when one of the people PA and i met there was requesting a song i went up and asked him where he was from. haha, he probably thought i was completely crazy but he said he was originally from nj but had been in vermont about 20 years so i'll take it! one of the sweet old ladies from the birthday party grabbed me from the stage and walked me to the birthday girl to get cake. so cute. there was a creeper so after the songs kind of sucked we said we had to teach the next morning and ran off. oops, it sort of felt like we hustled them for drinks but we hadn't realized how creepy he was until the last half hour of our night there.
the bar also had a game set up w/ a hook in a wall and a washer tied to a string about 2 feet from the wall and you try to swing the washer to catch onto the hook. anyone seen that before or is it a small town new england thing?
