Party Like a Rock Star--Old School Style

Despite all of these years coming here, we never knew about the nightlife on this tiny island. It was like Rip Van Winkle waking up when I learned about this whole sub-culture of adults, who come here and get their groove on. The place that seems to be the center of this nightlife is a restaurant called, Lola's. We'd been there a few times for brunch, and for dinner, but never for a night out. Well, that all changed this summer. With my girlfriend from LA in tow, we headed to Lola's last night to check out what all the fuss is about since everyone I meet at the Inkwell seemed to live there once the sun set.

Well, the music was old school, but the crowd was many generations, all out to have some fun and to dance. A well kept 'grandmother' asked my girlfriend and I to dance with her grandsons, who were 19. Yes, 19! There was a dad dancing with his daughter, who was no older than 7. It was as if all the boundaries that separate us in our every day lives were removed, so that old, young, black, white, and everyone else gathered to have some fun. We hung in there for a few songs, each of us soaking in the evening. The room was packed as we made our way towards the exit, each of us doing a little shimmy. It was the perfect end to a great summer! And what a preview for next summer.
