Last night, one of the grad students with us who has worked with bands when he was younger knew of a free concert. Jobie and I took the metro for the first time and didn't get lost!! We even had to change trains and were fine. Anyways, we get to Gran Via, and although I had been warned about prostitution, I was totally not expecting what I saw. Girls with bad dye-jobs hollering crude things at men. When men turned them down, they'd insult the girl the guy was with. I saw one guy walk away with one..eww. A few of their butt cheeks hung out of their shorts major league too.
Jobie and I finally find the small club and walk in and realize..its definitely not our scene. Could not be further from it in fact. Everyone there was very punk/rocker/wearing black/studs... and it was extremely tiny and just about all of the audience members were smoking. I'm lucky that in Ohio, we can't smoke indoors. Europe is so different in that regard. We stick around for the first band, which was too screamo for my tastes, and leave, getting home by 12. Are you happy mom?!
Today was our first day of class. The first two hours were fascinating but towards the end I couldn't wait to leave. Spain's history and culture is absolutely incredible, though. So now we're having our descanso and deciding what to do with ourselves. Consuelo got us tickets to the bullfight Saturday night, which are apparently very hard to come by. Ayyy toro!
