Recently I attended one of the largest annual charity events in Dallas. It was the 33rd annual Margarita Ball. Amazingly over 10k people attended the Margarita Ball. This black tie event benefits the Dallas Children’s Charities. My original date MT33 wasn’t able to attend. I decided not to search for a replacement. My thoughts were, if there’s 10k people there.. there must be at least 4k single women. And I was right.
It wasn’t until the day before, I found out TR37 was attending also. Since she was a volunteer, I didn’t see her until after the event started. This was the first time TR37 met my friends. She was a bit shocked and didn’t leave my side for most of the night. The event was fun. Most of the evening was filled with free Margaritas, dancing and meeting new people. Since I was the designated driver for my group, I spent most of the time drinking sodas and trying to keep up with everyone.
Eventually we combined our group with FA40 and her group of friends. I gave her a big hug and took several pictures with her. She was dressed in traditional Indian attire. It was colorful, layered and sexy. As soon as the DJ started playing Lil Wayne and Drake, she and all her friends began to dance. As I looked around, I realized that the crowd was culturally diverse. The dance floor had a international flavor. It was out of control, in a good way. Before I knew it, TR37, FA40 & my friends were intoxicated from the Margaritas. It became hilarious to watch them.
Sometime during the drunken chatter, FA40 introduced me to another group of people as an “swirl blogger”. I had to quiet them down, because TR37 was standing close and I didn’t want her to find out about the site. I answered several questions and eventually we all exchanged contact information with several of them.
Overall, the Margarita Ball was a success. Over $151k dollars in toy donations were received in one night and it was probably the largest multicultural event I’ve ever attended. So I encourage everyone to donate to a local charity during the holiday season. Celebrate good time with your friends, family and share with the less privileged.
