So I spent Saturday on the phone with Sarah. I miss her so much. There are very few people who I am really close to these days and she is still and always will be one of them. After talking to her, I talked to Mom, Jojo, and still needed to call Steven, Rhi, and Stacy but had to get ready for gay bingo, the theme being "from outer space". What a ball that was! We had a great time! I only had about 3 drinks but they were half alcohol so I was feeling pretty good. After the bingo game we decided to go to Jillian's (a low budget Dave & Busters look alike) and after another 2 long island iced teas I bent down to pick up a coin and the bouncer swooped in and took my drink, cutting me off. Shocked because I was no where near cut off status, a scene ensued. Now normally this is just the breaks of going out and drinking. You win some, you lose some. But this was in front of my boss and colleague. Oops. My boss thinks it's because I was wearing my space helmet all night.
I think about all the crazy things I've worn to places, a cape and star sunglasses to D&B, a pizza box to Mario's, my goth outfits, the Dr. Seuss hat my mom bought me, tons of crazy things and I've never gotten cut off. I guess in Seattle people are more uptight about that kind of thing and you are OBVIOUSLY drunk if you wear a silly hat. Whatever.
I apologized to my boss first thing this morning for causing a scene and she just laughed and said it was not a big deal at all. Then we made plans to go work out tonight. So all is well, but we are never going back to Jillian's. Freaks.
Other than that, not much to report. Dane and I are going to Portland this weekend for a Valentines Day celebration. I have class tomorrow so we can't even go to dinner. We are staying at the Jupiter for their lovers package, and I can't say too much but we got both the naughty and nice package which includes flowers and champagne in our room both days and an hour long massage for both of us as well as some other unmentionables. Dane is in charge of fun while we are there, but I suspect we will visit our favorite Greek restaurant, Chinese restaurant (yes.), and of course FUDDRUCKERS!!!! WHEEEE!!!!
Next week Ms. Rhi is in town for one night which we will spend at Kolbeh with Delilah and crew. Should be loads of fun. Then Sat night is game night in Tacoma w/ my boss. Good times.

I miss you too honey, talking with you so indepthly put the smack down on my little heart strings and made me want to jump on a plane Saturday night, though satisfying to know that our connection is still strong even from across the miles.
Sounds like you had a fun night but I don't understand being "cut off"....is that in Denver it's like ok to be openly drunk? Do you know how many times I've ordered drinks at clubs when I was CLEARLY in no condition to have that one extra drink, let alone drive-I've only had one bartender (that dood at the Deadbeat that worked downstairs, remember?) Never have I had something like that happen and I could see me making a scene about it too....if nothing else the bouncer should've confronted you on the DL about it instead of embarassing you like that.
Gotta run for now Momma, love you lots and miss you tons.
PS: I've been to Jillians (they have one at the Mills) it's an over-priced D&B's if you ask me....
Dats right I am coming to town!!!
I am looking forward to it!!!!
Sorry you got cutt off but I bet you looked awesome in your space helmet!!!!
Eff you and your Ma'am!!
HAHA!! I remember that story too. You know, in retrospect and in talking to everyone, we think that maybe they meant to cut off my buddy Heather, who was also wearing a helmet. When Dane talked to the bouncer about it (cause I just sat quitely at the table - by "scene" I mean that I disagreed w/ the call and asked Dane to handle it - that was the extent of my involvement) the bouncer said he remembers me coming in and checking my ID (not true - I had a stamp from when we went their earlier to meet up w/ the gang - we got there after 6 so we got stamps, the gang got there at 4:30 and did not get stamps - they also started drinking at that time, so they had a 2 hour head start on us) and he said *I* looked drunk and was staggering everywhere (also not true because I only got up once to use the restroom and I know I didn't stagger, I remember the whole thing). Heather on the other hand did stumble and knock her chair over. So it looks like I took the fall for her. No biggie.
And you are right Sarah - Jillians is WAY over priced!! I did not word that well at all, what I meant to say was that D&B is much cleaner, has better games, better food, better drinks, and mucho better staff. Jillian's is just lame.
BTW....Now I want to play space invaders.....Thanks Crystal!!!
In my defense, I (Heather) was wearing the sparkley antennae - not the Space Helmet. And in your defense, I was the one knocking my chair back when standing. I guess I just look more innocent than you.
thaaaannnkkss!
Heather
