just like the west coast...

date: Dec 26th


drink: Hoegaarten


what: the low key night that wasnt...



J and i werent even sure that we were going to go out - contemplated just ordering in & watching a movie or something but then decided to head out locally for dinner, just to get out of the house... and then he got some texts - a friend from CA was in for the evening and he and another guy wanted us to go out after dinner... so quick change into presentable clothes and makeup (yes, it actually WAS quick, thankyouverymuch!) and first headed to Westside Brewing Company, which seems to be fast becoming our place - this is the 3rd time in less than 2 months that we've been there) and then down to Galway Hooker - weird, as thats a big happy hour bar among my co-workers (and therefore not where i tend to spend my weekends) - but since CA guy needed to be back at penn station, it seemed fair enough...

Meeting another friend of J's is always fun, but even more fun? bonding with his friend R - someone who i dont think liked me so much last time (he was the one person i couldnt crack that first meet-the-friends night) - over our mutual love of all things Gossip Girl... R promises to catch up on his GG DVR viewing this week so that we can fully discuss it at length on NYE.

and the horror on J's face as two of his friends and his girlfriend bonded over blair and serena? pretty much the cherry on top of an already entertaining night...
