Ketchup bottles filled with SoCo & Lime?

I am not a fan of ketchup, or anything containing high fructose corn syrup for that matter. I am not someone to ever ask at a dinner table "Pass the ketchup bottle, please?". It's just not me. But, when I experienced Dan's Cafe for the first time, I couldn't stop asking for the ketchup bottle. They have this amazing deal in which you can get an entire ketchup bottle (cleaned obviously) filled with any type of alcoholic shot you want for $16! They say there's 52 shots in there...I am assuming that is not quite true...but it is phenomenal nonetheless. It is not a place to party at the entire night, as it is slightly small and cannot fit crowds of people comfortably, but it is definitely the place to start an evening of fun. Go with a bunch of friends and you are bound to have a good, and inexpensive, time. What made it even better were the people there. We randomly became friends with some guys trying to show off their push-up skills, when one of my ex-collegiate-soccer friends, after drinking quite a good amount, decided to shoot their ego by performing 15 perfect push-ups all on her own. We didn't have to worry about paying for any more drinks that next hour.

I'm going out...

All my life I have been a swimmer. I am very guilty of the famous saying "I can't...I have swim practice," and now that my full-time swimming career is over, it's time to change. Being in one of the most important cities in the world--Washington, DC--I should be able to find lots of fun stuff to do as someone in her early twenties. Goals that I have for my last summer as a "kid" will be to learn how to dance (salsa and/or tango), fall in love with a bar other than Third Edition, become friends with a bartender and a bouncer...not necessarily from the same place, and go to all the places I've been meaning to go. For a young lady that is somewhat shy and very comfortable with falling asleep before 10:07 PM, this might be a difficult feat. Doesn't matter anymore...I'm going out.
