Uphonic

Saturday I went to see Rob DJ a show at Club 222. I'd never been to Club 222 before but it is a bar in the Tenderloin at Hyde and Turk. Their shady location is kind of their gimmick. They sell pizza, the flavors named "Hyde" and "Turk."
It's a great place though. Very hip crowd. Rob was DJing so I went up and shook his hand. I knew I'd be by myself anyway. So I went to the bar and drank some PBRs and ordered their Hyde pizza, which has goat cheese. It was really good!
I mainly just sat there and drank and listened and ate. Occasionally someone would chat with me a short bit. Eventually I went down to the dance area and stood and watched.
Rob finished DJing and then a band played called Uphonic. It was two guys singing over electronic music. I thought Rob would be done then but he was doing technical stuff for them for their show. However I'd had a few drinks and I enjoyed their music. It reminded me of Vitalic somewhat.
Afterwards I bought their CD and introduced myself to them. I spent some time with Rob and his friends before deciding to leave, since it had been a couple hours.
I ended up walking home because I couldn't catch a taxi on the way but it was a nice walk. I had a euphoric buzz of sorts going and felt genuinely happy.
