What a Little Moonlight Can Do

I made my first foray into the night with this project yesterday and I have learned a few things. They are as follows:
-Remember to adjust your aperture when you switch between shooting existing light and flash (as you will see, I forgot and ended up with my aperture wide open when I thought I was stopped down).
-People like the nightlife. (This is something I'd vaguely forgotten because I rarely go out anymore. I'm like an old [happy] married woman.)
-A 50mm prime lens is too tight a frame to easily fit kissing strangers into when you're in a very narrow, crowded bar.
-Alcohol RULES when it comes to Kissing Strange. 
I know I could have gotten many more shots last night because, as I discovered, people are all kinds of warm, happy and willing to play for the camera when imbibed with certain liquids but the lens I was carrying, as I mentioned above, led to my dropping my pursuit rather quickly and joining everyone in drinking as well.
