Run that by me one more time? "majoring in shaking some serious booty."

Majoring in what now? ". . . shaking some serious booty."

Someseriouswhatnow? ... Anyway.

Although the story features a shared byline - city beat Michael Vasquez and intern Sarah Tompkins - Vasquez admitted over the phone that the vernacular-employing gem of a sentence was his. "I'd like to give our intern credit for that," he said. "But it was me."

As for the 1:30 A.M. bit -- the time, according to the article, that "a handful of twenty-something women sway to the music on table tops, while others get down on a crowded dance floor," -- both reporters, Vasquez said, were present.
