On Thursdays at Nye’s Polonaise a splendid little thing happens called The New Primitives. I’ve never considered myself a reggae fan, but every time I hear good reggae, I remember why I should listen to it more. It. Is. Happy. My friends and I sat in our booth sipping our ridiculously expensive drinks (one drawback to Nye’s) and couldn’t help but move. Amy scanned the room full of bouncing fans and said, “People make me so happy!”

I think I might make this a Thursday tradition. If anyone needs a dose of unconditional joy on a gloomy (or not) Thursday evening at 10pm, I’m ready.
