A first for many

Last week was Restaurant Week in Columbus. Many of the pricier restaurants in Columbus offer a set price ($20-30) for an appetizer, entree and dessert. Since I love food, this is a great week for me. Chris expressed interest in going to Level, a restaurant/bar in the Short North and upon seeing a menu, several others wanted to go. We decided on Friday. Later in the week, Rauchelle informed us it was a gay bar. We still went.
11 Mormons went to the gay bar. 6 guys, 5 girls. It was a lot of fun. We sat upstairs where there were some couches and tables. The rest of the people at the restaurant was a mixed group so we didn't feel out of place.
It wasn't strange until we went to leave.
As we walked downstairs, Candace heard this:
"Here come the straight people."

Another guy heard this,
"He's definitely straight."

I walked downstairs. I've never walked into a room full of so many guys and known that they were probably checking out my guy friend and not me. Oh well.

As we gathered outside, one of the girls in the group asked Candace if she noticed that there were a lot of guys downstairs.
Candace: "Well, it is a gay bar."
Girl: "Oh, that explains a lot."

Anyways, a good time was had by all. I think. The food was delicious. And most of us experienced a gay bar for the first time.

 The night got off to a strange start with Bryce crawling across the table to eat humus from Alan
