Day 21: Gin and tonic.

This is the gin and tonic I consumed at Transmission last night. In case you’ve missed my raving about it in the past, Transmission is a weekly dance-a-thon put on by top local DJ Jake Rudh. His weekly gigs are at Club Jager in the Warehouse District, but he just started doing monthly “theme gigs” at the Varsity Theater in Dinkytown. Last night was a tribute to Joy Division and New Order.

I got ill at the end of 2010 and was unable to drink alcohol until recently — no wine, no cocktails, no nuthin’. It was depressing. I’m slowly working my way back off the wagon, so when I get to enjoy a G&T that leads to dancing to kick ass music, it’s an even bigger celebration.

There’s a lot to celebrate in your life (trust me on this one). Toast to it with your favorite beverage tonight. Cheers!
