Random Encounters of the Third Kind
The How to get Rich(er) series will be postponed for now. I’ll finish it up when I have more downtime.
Last night was the much anticipated bar night with Mouse and Mpls Ju. Mouse's roommate also joined us for the festivities. After starting the night with some good red wine while waiting for a cab, we went to a martini bar in Novi. The bar was much more packed than we expected. When I am in a bar where more than half of the women there have probably had plastic surgery, I am in the wrong place. Add in the sketchy 35-year-old men hitting on my lovely companions and we were out of there after a couple drinks.
We walked over to a nearby Irish pub. As soon as I walked in, I hear someone yell out my name. I look around and see my old buddy KRich (who is plastered at the moment). I haven't seen him in over two years. He was my best friend through elementary and middle school. We used to play street hockey with the kids from the neighborhood in his driveway every single day after school. Those were awesome days. We didn't hang out as much in high school since I went to public school and his parents sent him to the best private school in the area (Detroit Country Day). We both went to Michigan and would occasionally run into each other at football and hockey games, but we didn't hang out very often. KRich's younger brother was at the bar as well. Our group joined them for the whole time we were at the Irish Pub. Although I was very excited to hang out with Mouse and Mpls Ju, this random encounter made my night. I am going to try and catch up with KRich under more sober terms this afternoon.
We left the Irish Pub to catch the last set of a popular cover band at another nearby bar. It was a pretty sweet band. They rank right up there with The Zoo, which performs in the Hartford area quite often.
We eventually made our way back to Mouse's place to crash for the night, but not before making a few drunk dials. I knew Roopdoog would still be up at 2:30 anyway. At least I wasn't on the receiving end of a drunk dial this week! :) The night was a blast, and I was definitely hung over this morning. Thankfully, I was able to make some chocolate chip pancakes before leaving Mouse's place since they are one of the three big hangover cures for me (the others being McDonalds breakfast and peanut butter). Can you believe this was the first time Mouse had chocolate chip pancakes? I was shocked.
I don't think I did anything super stupid last night, but I am sure Mouse or Mpls Ju will add a comment if I missed a good story. Don't worry about not being able to understand Mouse's comment though because she speaks English, not "Asian".
Since I have a digital camera, I can post couple good pictures from last night!
