Bars

I left off on Tuesday so that is where I will pick it back up. Nothing happened on Tuesday; I went to work in the evening for a Trustees Meeting. There was also no working out in the morning because I was too worn out from the day before.

Wednesday was of course another evening shoot, oh how I am sick of working at night, and Ice and Joel were in town for her sister's wedding. They wanted to go to the bar so Teed, Ando and I met them at Gaslight after I got off work. It was good to hang with some new people, no offense Teed, Mo and Jenster, and have some new things to talk about. Wednesday also happened to be Mo's sister's birthday and Teed wanted to go meet her at the bar she was at. I really didn't want any part of this so I parted ways with the rest of the bunch. I did manage to get a few more wedding magazines and books from Ice before I left. And it just so happens that in one of the magazines were a few pictures of people I knew; how bizarre.

Thursday, sorry I am trying to get in a bunch of blogging before I leave for California on Tuesday, was another night out at the bar. This time we went to The Gypsy Hut. When people are in from out of town you have to get in as much partying as possible. This time Dr. Wint came as well. We got to sit, or should I say stand, outside on a nice night too. Some good stuff happened while we were standing outside too.

First Ando and I started talking about how we joined Netflix and Dr. Wint was asking what this "thing" called Netflix was. We couldn't believe he didn't know what it was, but were taken aback a little more when he then said he also had no idea what this thing called the Wii was. I think Dr. Wint just crawled out from under a rock. And here is the picture to prove this is where he resides. I guess you lose touch with reality once you turn the ripe old age of 33.

Then the best story of all happens. I don't even know if I can do it justice in this blog. It is almost one of those things that you had to be there to see. Two girls walked up to us asking if anyone had a light. Joel of course did so we pointed her in his direction. This should have been the end of our conversation, but unfortunately it wasn't. She decided to stick around and tell me her life story about how she moved to New York when she was 17, right after 9/11, with only $80. She hated her parents and school, so left to be on her own. Why do I need to know all of this? Then she found some great opportunities and met her husband back stage at a Michael Kors show. He is foreign, not sure from where, and now she has to go in front of INS to legitimize their relationship. She can't wait to show them how much they are in love and that the relationship is real. Oh and she wants to become a lawyer to help those who can't afford one. She just wants to help people. This was way more info than I needed to know, but apparently she didn't see it that way. This whole story ended up coming back to a show going on in Hyde Park for an artist, Bob London, at a Chinese Restaurant. She wanted all of us to come because we are hip and arty and not snobby and old like the Hyde Park crowd. Really we were the only ones at the bar for her to try and get to come to this show.

This girl was a bit overwhelming for me, but her friend was very nice. She was way more understated and even said that her friend talks too much. She also didn't give me her life story without me asking. Her friend was even younger though, only 21, so we were all feeling a bit old. Needless to say this whole ordeal made us all leave the bar. We needed to leave because that was the only way out of the conversation. What a weird night especially for a Thursday. Of course the evening ended up in the White Castle drive thru. Only the boys got something, I of course ordered nothing as I normally do at White Castle.

I will write about the weekend tomorrow before I head off to marry Jenster in California; thank goodness it was legalized right before we leave.

Two nights in a row of drinking; pretty obvious there is no baby on board.
