What happened last night?

I was there and I can barely answer the question myself. What did happen was expensive and tiring. The night began innocently enough with a planned trip to Fort Worth. I eventually scuttled the trip after missing the last train to Fort Worth. I recovered by getting a hotel room at the Best Western in the Market Center District. (Never believe their claims of having unlimited internet access!) I left my room almost immediately to hang out at Have A Nice Day Cafe. MTV was their recruiting college age people for new reality shows - clubs are great places to meet vacuous people who want to be on TV and don't mind debasing themselves on camera.
After that the night just went downhill. I hated to end the party so soon - I'd only gotten to the club at midnight having trekked for two hours trying to find my hotel. My hotel was just down the road from Harry Hines BLVD, the center of Dallas' red light district. Between the cabbies and Harry Hines I am a much poorer man than I was yesterday.
