Shannon and TX culture shock

Shannon was in town for work again this week and we had talked about taking her to Dallas Nite Club last time she was here. For those of you unfamiliar with Austin, Dallas is the quintessential country bar. Small, smoky, country music, and stuffed to the gills with people.

Shannon brought two of her friends from work, Claire and Heather, with her and the five of us had a quick bite at Dave & Buster's just down the street from Dallas. Had a great time and her friends were really nice.

We finally got in to Dallas and made our way in around nine, before the crowd got too thick to move. Amazing how you seem to see the same faces there year after year...

Anyway, none of the girls had seen anything like this joint before and it was a lot of fun watching them take it all in. Darlene had some of her old friends to dance with, so I took Shannon and Heather out a couple times to teach them the basics and soon enough, they were all out on the floor. Claire had an especially difficult time fighting them off.

As usual, it was great to see Shannon again and we had a great time getting together with her again. Unfortunately, it sounds like this was probably the last time she'll be here in Austin for work for a while.
