Last night I went to the local microbrewery to meet up with my friend Ml and our other friend from work who's been out on maternity leave. This was Vi's first "official" boozing it up session since she gave birth to the cutest little baby ever. It was also her birthday weekend...let's just say that it was a drunken bonding experience.

I thought we were just going to stay local and that Vi would probably shade out and want to get home back to the baby just like they always seem to do on Sitcoms...Vi wanted none of that. In fact, after a glass of Jack Daniels and a couple pints she suggested, "Hey! Why don't we go down into the city?" And like that we packed Tara, Nina, Ml, Vi and myself into the car and made the trek far beyond my Cornfield comfort levels...but it was definitely fun.

We started out at another microbrewery. Vi was constantly hawking the crowd for good looking men that she could drag over to us since she was the only one who was not single. As it turned out, the music was too loud to have a conversation with anyone and there was no one good looking enough to even make the attempt. So I don't even know if some of them "had good personalities" because we ended up dancing in our own little corner.

Vi, then gets the idea to go to another bar. Now it been raining torrentially all day/night...none of us were bright enough to bring an umbrella, no one wanted to bring a slicker into the bar so we squealed like pigs and ran to the next bar. This bar reminded me of a frat party. It was like an old row home that had been renovated into a three level bar...it was a little cramped, pretty hot and there were lots of men taking all opportunities to accidentally rub up against us. We paid no mind. The bar had a great DJ and again we were the dancing queens. Ml got caught up with a handsome boy who was kind of grabby and I saw her at one point making out with him on the dance floor. My, my! Then I saw Tara being grabbed by this one guy who was so rhythmically challenged it looked he was kind of doing the twist while holding Tara's waist--Tara was just kind of half-assed dancing and rolling her eyes.

After numerous dances and all slick with sweat we all decide that it was time for food. Vi says that there's this great after hours place that also serves this amazing breakfast sandwich...you need to know the secret knock though. We go off in search of this elusive place. I've come to the conclusion that this place exists only in Vi's mind. We drove around looking for it for about a half hour until we decided the diner was the place where we should make complete asses of ourselves. That story a little later. I just wanted to get a post up here :)
