After I came home from Bumbershoot today I was still pretty energized, so I decided to head on up to the Vogue. While I was there, I ended up dancing with a girl who I&#8217;d never seen there before. After a couple songs, we headed outside to get a breath of cool air.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So,&#8221; I asked, &#8220;What&#8217;s your name?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Faith, and yours?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Michael.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ah.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And there was a pause, as she studied me through slit eyes, with a slight grin on her face.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And what&#8217;s that look for?&#8221; I asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just thoughts running through my head.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I see. Thoughts I should inquire about, or should I just leave well enough alone?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That just depends on what you&#8217;re in to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I laughed. &#8220;That is <em>so<\/em> open ended.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know, isn&#8217;t it?&#8221; she said. &#8220;I love open ended questions. I&#8217;m the queen of mystery.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I see,&#8221; I said, and studied her for a moment. &#8220;We&#8217;ll just have to leave that to mystery then, won&#8217;t we?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another long pause, and then she gave an exasperated little laugh, and turned to the bouncer. &#8220;Could he <em>be<\/em> any more smooth?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, once she said that, I cracked up and bounced around like a giddy schoolboy, thus completely shattering the illusion &#8212; but it was good while it lasted.<\/p>\n<p>And then, to top it all off, what better way to end a night of gothic and industrial dance music than with 80&#8217;s one-hit-wonder Buster Poindexter&#8217;s &#8220;Hot! Hot! Hot!&#8221; It was a wonderful thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;I see,&#8217; I said, and studied her for a moment. &#8216;We&#8217;ll just have to leave that to mystery then, won&#8217;t we?&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2043],"tags":[13],"class_list":["post-1677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal","tag-life"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1677\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
