8:14 PM � We just went to the Acapulco Night Club. We were attracted from our original destination by the live band. We walk in and we are the only white people. So we are standing by the bar in the middle far from the door because most of the bar near the door is made up of men eating their dinner. We are watching the band and stuff when a waitress comes up to us and asks us where we are going to sit a few times. We say we are not going to stay long. Once again she asks us where we are going to sit so she knows where to bring our drinks. We look around the second half of the bar and every table is completely empty. We say we can sit anywhere and order some coronas. She takes our order but continues to stand next to us. Gwen asks her if she needs something else. She asks us again where we are going to sit. We all look at each other bemused and say right here and sit down at the table behind us. We are watching the band. I am amused that the drummer is also singing lead vocals and still keeping good time. The waitress brings the coronas to the table and says we owe $15 we are putting down our money when there is a loud crack. Gwen who is facing the bar and pool table and the front door looks very alarmed and stands up and yells run run get out of here. Gwen and Machel start running for the back door. I stand up and look behind me to see the bar has cleared and all the men who were peacefully eating dinner are beating the crap out of each other with fists and pool cues. I grab my coat and run out the back door as well. We are now located safely next door at The Burlington, our original destination.

9:10 PM � Here are The Burlington by the DJ area there is a sign that reads No Requests written in a light bright, which is awesome.

10:11 PM � This is the 3rd time Lincoln Logs have come up in conversation in 2 days.

10:28 PM � Sam: Oh you relish in this
Machel: I roll around in it like Myla in goose poop

11:17 PM � �but the tiger goes deep� � Chris
