Halo was a welcomed haven from the outrageous heat on Sunday. They offered Happy Hour drinks between 3 and 6; to the best of my knowledge (and it is vast where drinking in concerned), only Twist offers that on a weekend and the difference between the two is literally like night and day. Twist is dark and cool, and there is a crowd which likes that; Halo is bright, airy, and cool. Halo's staff is very professional, brought down from Washington and recruited from Ft. Lauderdale. Before Ray started his Latino nights, we used to sit outside Score on Sundays, but Halo's A/C will counter that.

The manager asked by what type of crowd they should expect and I replied that it was the crowd that does not often go out; I call it The Edison Crowd: professional gay men and women, very well off, but not inclined to go out all the time or be hot and bothered. When Edison snaps his fingers they appear; otherwise you never see them. This was evident on Saturday night.

So I had a sun-filled, cool Sunday afternoon with the likes of Riley, Barker, and others. My big question: will the Latinos go there? Without them, life would not be worth living.
