      Late Bar, 3534 W Belmont Ave.

      Late Bar and my buddy Krystina, 3534 W Belmont Ave.

      Inhibition: I definitely shy away from what I want to do when there’s a crowd.

      Betty’s Response: Give it a rest and take along a friend.

      Experience: This week’s experience is a short but sweet one. Before moving to my new apartment this week I wanted to check out Late Bar’s “New Wave Music” themed Saturday night. For the past year Betty and I would pass the bar on our way home but I resisted the temptation to stop in on Saturday nights. So before we moved I had to …

      DANCE!

      DANCE!

      …and with tunes from the likes of the Eurythmics, Blonde, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Pet Shop Boys, and Culture Club how could a gal sit still?

      And if you don't want to dance there's always shadow puppets (Christina's is a bear, I think)

      And when taking a break from dancing there’s always shadow puppets (Krystina’s puppet is a bear… I think)

      What I didn’t Know: That once you start dancing, along with hanging out with a friend, the crowd is less of an issue and you’re just having fun. A big thanks to Krystina for being up for the challenge.

      So Betty and I are off and on to a new adventure (photo booths) but before we go we’re extending to all to get out there and SHOW ME WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW!!!!
