Ellen McCarthy and Erin Williams, On Love: ‘I Could See Our Lives Working Together.’ Washington Post, Sept 10, 2011

(In his first date in 2008 with Taiwanese American Julie Liu, then 27, "the conversation seemed to revolve around fraternity and sorority life and, soon, [Joshua] DeFrain admitted he was 23")

Note:
(a) The bar's name Hangge Uppe is just a fancy name for "hang up."
(b) The report mentioned "clocking him in the face."

clock (vt): "Slang . to strike sharply or heavily: <Somebody clocked him on the face.>"

Naturally Mr DeFrain's dancing partner was inadvertent.
(c) Following the quotation above, the report stated her reaction: "Liu was thrown."

throw (vt): "to get the better of : OVERCOME <the problem didn't throw her>"

This and (e) are both from www.m-w.com.
(d) DePaul University
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DePaul_University
(private; at Chicago; Founded by the Vincentians [a branch of Catholic church] in 1898, the university takes its name from the 17th century French priest Saint Vincent de Paul [1581-1660; French])

It is a so-so university.
(e) blast (n): "an enjoyably exciting experience, occasion, or event <I had a blast>; especially : PARTY"Wedding Announcement
