Not that I hang out in clubs very much, but I met up with some friends last night at the Glass Cactus on the property of the Gaylord Texas.
Thoughts:
- That place is really nice. Extremely nice. Then again, anything the Gaylord Texan does is top notch.
- The place was packed on just a random Saturday night.
- $10 cover charge
- The club has a huge outdoor deck (with easy access) that overlooks Lake Lewisville [Edit: Uh, wrong lake.] Very impressive.
- Funny line: There's a second floor balcony that overlooks the dance floor (good times) but it had a safety net to catch any drinks that might be dropped. "Just like Wrigley Field," a buddy remarked.
- The band was just a cover band but it was a great cover band.
- The negative: After the limited valet parking fills up, you have to park back at the hotel and have a shuttle take you over there. That. Is. A. Beating.
- The shuttle ride on the way back is much more entertaining that the ride getting there.
- On the way back we got off the shuttle at the wrong exit. Amazingly, a doorman at the hotel told us "this happens all the time" and offered to take us back to the parking garage in one of the hotel's SUVs for free. Nice guy. (Yeah, I tipped.)
- The crowd was pretty upscale (yeah, that sounds uppity, I know.) Basically in your 30s and (how do I say this?) looked like they had gone to college, partied hard while there, don't go out all that much these days because they have real jobs, but like to have a good time when they do.
- Loverboy is going to be there in a couple of weeks. Think I'll miss that.
- Edit: Man, I forgot to mention that I saw two newlywed couples getting out of (ih, separate) limousines at the hotel. And one of them was an interracial couple - great looking by the way - which made me smile.

It overlooks Lake Grapevine, not Lewisville.
We go watch the Three Fools on Three Stools there on the deck for the first show. Last time we were there, a Disco band was there on the main stage at 9. Wish I could remember the name of the band, but they were great and it sure brought back some memories! Do the Hustle !!!!!!!!!!!
we love the glass cactus. we go there every saturday night.
BTW, it overlooks lake grapevine, not lake lewisville. you would need a telescope to see lake lewisville from the balcony.
This does not look good for you Barry....You do not even know what lake you are on!!!!! NOT GOOD!!!!
So ... Was there any "Hey Now's" ?
Well, I stayed at home, didn't go out, BUT I did have a band play for me, while I cooked them home made chicken enchiladas, sweet potato and black bean enchiladas, rice, refried beans, guacamole and winona cake with fresh strawberries. The band consisted of singer/rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass, keyboards and drums, plus chick backup singers here and there, playing classic rock and alt country. There was lots of beer and such also. I'd take that any time over driving out of Gawd's Country, suffering thru smelly Decatur, as I travel to such a place in the Metromess as you did, Barry, and it was free!!!!!
lol, barry. you musta had the bloody mary if you didnt know what lake you were on.
i love the place. ive had three one-night stands from that place and all were great.
uh, the update should use spellcheck more often.....
i'll take Frilly's anyday!
double fake wise co. resident
bary, try one of those one night stands and report back. and get some stinkin picts.
Loverboy was last Wednesday. LaFreak was Friday. JS.....
Uh, don't you know that the shuttle driver and the Hotel doorman are in cahoots? Yeah, they make pretty good tips doing that little trick. The hotel doorman splits his tips with the shuttle driver every night and it has been told that they are retiring in Cozumel next year. lol
It must have one hell of a large deck to overlook lake lewisville since the club is on lake grapevine!!
by interracial i'm betting it was a nigger with a white woman..am i right..???
