Wonderland Ballroom, Washington, D.C.

No sooner had I gotten home and undressed after our trip to Anacostia to Denny's, than I got a call from Joel, my neighbor across the street. He wanted to go to Wonderland Ballroom up the street for a nightcap. I went. He made me drink Belgian beer.


We sat out on the patio until it closed at midnight, then went inside to finish up. Wonderland is always fun, being popular, but very casual, and totally not an S & M (stand and model) bar. It attracts a wide variety of people from all over the neighborhood. Joel, of course, is a regular, and very social with everyone.
