Ta Da

Never in the history of my blog have I posted pix from a night out to my blog as quickly as you're seeing right now. Yipee.

Last night we went to The Times to meet Rachelle and her crew for drinks as part of their movie and drinks themed evening, then headed to meet Nate and friends at a mini NE bar tour. I took only 6 pictures during the course of the evening and felt that each deserved to be posted here to give you an idea of the night.

Unfortunately, pix didn't start getting taken till after we left The Times, and I failed to get a team pictures (very unlike me) so I could've and should've taken more pix, but what are you going to do...

Nate's nipples

Captain of the Crew Rachelle

Greenies at Tony Jaro's
(note the poorly executed "cute" face I'm going for)

The 2 men on either side of this woman were both rubbing her ass but decided to stop RIGHT when I snapped this photo

Nate didn't briefly blink his eyes closed for this shot - he full out had his eyes shut for a while leading up to this picture being taken at Psycho Suzie's

Apparently I've never used or noticed the bathrooms at Psycho Suzie's -
left says Chicks, right says Dicks. At 2:08am, this was flippin hilarious.

Memories of the night, in no particular order:

• Alicia got to tell the dumb Americans get their passports stamped in Iceland story
• We discussed good names (Adam) bad names (Jon with no h)
• Muck's cousin Nathan (whose actual job title is Assistant Scientist) is super fun
• Nate sent a text alerting me that my "black friends" had arrived at his mini bar tour
• I met a GMI sales girl that #1 knew 1/2 Dorey brothers and #2 is moving to Philly and I tried to give her advice on what neighborhood to move into without using any actual neighborhood names, just using scenes from Rocky to describe the different neighborhoods
• ONCE AGAIN Nate ended the evening by Houdini-ing the bar but does get a bonus point for answering his phone when called and somewhat coherently describing his current location
• Greenies are good - and cheap - and when they close at 1am (good to know) the waitress will yell "Drink muthafucka" at you till you down your Greenie and get kicked out
• Rachelle's friends are super nice and super fun and if you wink at Tom, you can get taxied home
  
• I learned that literally EVERYONE (Julie, my sister, Rachelle's PhD friend Laurent) that I've met that lives in Loring Park lives in the building with the Dunn Bros
• There is a bar in Mpls named Laura's - must track down friend of a friend John for the dets (guess what my xmas card picture will be of for 2006???)
• Joe C and I agreed to text each other more often to hopefully spur more fun nights of hanging out
  

Finally, I have to tell you that I have met my best new friend / new best friend Rachelle. Clearly I'm exagerating when I give this her this title, but it is justified by the fact that she and I are seriously creepily alike:

• We each do a "pink" load of laundry - as opposed to normal people's dark, light, white, etc. classifications of laundry
• We avoid showering daily only b/c it's a lot of work - and sometimes our friends call us out and ask us to shower more
• We are both obsessed with sending Christmas cards and postcards
• UDPATE - I forgot that we both have the same shower curtain. Considering it's a map of the world, it stands out as being a little quirky.
  
• A couple more things probably not mom read blog appropriate

In a surprise move, Rachelle and I had a sleepover last night at my apartment since I have A/C and she doesn't and it minimized the # of stops our "cab" had to make. We made pizza, drank lots of H20 to rehydrate, and stayed up and talked and looked at photo albums till 4 in the morning. Strange, but true.
