We avoided Henry’s Pub initially because it sounded too English. Last night it was swinging (no, really it was: they had a swing and oldie rock band playing called Tommy Price and the Stilettos) and the locals obviously love the weekly swing night because the dancing was superb, with boys swinging their girls all around the dancefloor at high speeds. This band is very, very talented. Loud fun in the Gaslamp Quarter.
Unfortunately it meant we got back to the hotel late, and only managed 5 hours sleep before getting up for the conference at 7am. Starting work at 7.30am sucks – I’m glad it was only for 3 days. Very much worth it though.
