Atlanta Carnival 2012 Pt.1

It’s Carnival time in Atlanta again and the parties have begun! Last night Hubby and I started off our weekend with dancing and palancin at Esso Night Club in Atlanta. It was Flag Party time so that means bring the flag of whatever country you want to represent and let the music take you there. I was deeply impressed with the vicinity. It’s nicely decorated, large, has multiple areas either to dance, lounge, and or catch your breath. It surpassed my expectations and we enjoyed our time thoroughly. Anytime we go out we enjoy ourselves, but being in a new environment and not knowing what to expect and experiencing what we did was great!

We got to Esso around midnight - a lot later than we had initially planned. The parking lot was full and one of the lines were insanely long so we opted to go in to the other, more shorter line, which costs $40 a ticket. It is Carnival time baby and you have to be prepared for prices to at least be doubled in some locations, this was one of them. We stood in the line and in less than 5 minutes we were in. Things started off slow even though it was after midnight but the vibe had potential. We walked around to get a feel of the place and the people who we were going to be spending our night with. It was good, nothing too big as yet, but it was good. We were ready.

Upon walking in you’ll notice a fairly large bar, nicely lit with blue neon lights surrounding it. A small open area to your right where some people were dancing and a DJ booth. The sounds coming from the booth was pumping and it hit me immediately. This is something I love to experience when walking into the club. It gets me going right away. To your left are the restrooms and another open area that could be for dancing or just hanging out. Right in front of the bar sits soft couches and some small tables that looked sectioned of as if it were VIP. The reason I say that is because there are similar areas further inside the club that are VIP. I loved the double entrances that lead into the larger area of the club itself. Here is where you’ll find a dance floor that is accessible by stairs, two more large bar area, multiple VIP sections, and a DJ booth that sits high above everything else. The club was well lit, not dark and dungy feeling. Neon light in many colors lit up the dance floor, bars a seating areas. They also provide a decent sized finger food menu and drinks galore. Towards the back there are doors that lead to the lovely outdoor/rooftop/patio area where you’ll find it nicely decorated in all white everything. From the tables, to the chairs to the couches, to the drapes that separated each area for an intimate private setting. We ate our shrimp kabobs and fries out here.

We didn’t waste anytime finding a place to settle into and as soon as we did one of the lovely, sexy dressed, in lingerie, waitresses appeared ready to take our order. She rocked her uniform and seemed extremely comfortable with her bosom standing at attention. She was sweet and friendly, hot and sassy, I loved that she was our waitress for the night. She took good care of us made sure we had everything we needed.

After we got our drinks we made our way to the dance floor. It was crowded but not overbearing. We found a nice little spot on one of the stairs and took advantage of our view of the dance floor and all the dancing that was taking place. Things started to heat up between me and Hubby especially when our favorite songs were being played. Everything and everyone was blocked out, it was just me and him, our energy, our flags, our songs, our waists, and our groove. These are the moments when fire and passion, and alcohol mix and create explosive waves of sexual energy that we love to conjure up on the dance floor. I’m not surprised when people stop and stare and even want to join in. Men and women are drawn to us and when they come in it has the potential of being one of the best rides they ever had.

Everyone looked like they were having a good time and had their flags in their hands waving it around, representing their country, and dancing to the beat of the music. It was live! We were live! The party was live and was not done until 4am in the morning and tonight we do it all over again! We will be at a another place tonight and this will also be a first so I’m looking forward to this experience.

Club Esso is usually a hip-hop club so the vibes will definitely be different. Last night it was all about Soca, Reggae, chippin, and whinin, and can’t forget about palancin.
