Happy New Year a day late
I would have blogged yesterday but I didn't get up until after 4pm and after showering Bink, Jamiegrrrl and I ended up going to dinner. I took off after dinner and hit my bed once I got home.
So how was the New Years Eve? It was pretty good. I was kind of worried that it was going to suck since plans were not firm and everything we looked at had a problem with all three of us enjoying ourselves. We did have an offer from someone at the Dive Bar to buy Richard Cheese tickets for $75. I didn't care about the price but Bink didn't want to pay it and we were unsure he would make the show on time. Our plans to watch the fireworks from New York, New York fell through also because our friend Jay didn't want to hang around after work.
Since we didn't have firm plans, we napped and slacked. Then we went to the Carl Junior for some food. We headed to the Dive Bar about 11pm. Jamiegrrrl and I said Hi to Rob's parents and then took a seat by one of the bartop games then added some free credits. I was kind of disappointed because of the slow speed of the evening and it being the first new years I didn't have a date. I ended snapping at Jamiegrrrl for joking at my expense and I felt bad. We didn't get to see a ball drop, we didn't have a countdown and we didn't see the fireworks.
The bands started playing and I didn't mind the first one. Bink was getting tired from working a party before coming out. He decided to go home and leave the rest of the evening to me and Jamiegrrrl. We decided to stick for one more drink and then we headed to Double Down about 4:15am. When we got there Jamiegrrrl recognized some people but they didn't look familiar to me. One of the girls came up to me, bursting with excitement. She hugged me and I played along but I had no idea who she was. I caught her up on Birthdaycon information and she told me to take her number. I typed her number in my phone but I didn't know what to put for the name. I ended up naming it 'call herr', I was drunk. Right after I finished, she told me to call her. I was trying hard to hide the phone since I didn't want her to see the name. Her phone rang and she said, "Oh, I already have your number". Now I thought, I am in trouble. We separated for a minute and I learned from Jamiegrrrl that her name was Margaret.
While we were inside we saw some interesting sights also. On one of the dirty couches inside, there was this couple having sex. They were young but not bad looking. The odd thing about it besides on how long it was going on was the they had a blanket. We could figure out whether this was planned or wha Did they bring a blanket, did the bar provide it? We stayed until 5:30am when Jamiegrrrl finally called it quits. I decided to stay out. I wanted trouble.
I walked past the Office Bar but it seemed dead, thinking that strip bars would be pitiful in the early morn, I headed to the Hard Rock. I went straight for the craps table and I didn't end up leaving until 10:30am. The good part I didn't lose much money and I put in some serious time at the tables. Maybe they will invite me to stay for free. The funny thing is I was asked to leave the casino in the past.
Well that was the end until I woke up in the afternoon, got dinner with Jamiegrrrl and Bink then I went home. I didn't get in until after 1am. I was really tired all day but I survived and I will be resting until Birthdaycon. It was a fun weekend and I am happy I have friends like Bink and Jamiegrrrl.
Tomorrow I have a lot of work to do and then on Friday I am going to hit up 2600 to try to hookup with some of my friends I haven't seen in a long time.
