A bunch of us went to BC last night to get together for a Steve-O/Me birthday dinner. I mentioned going to BC without thinking of the thursday night ramifications. So we pull in at about 8 and i see the musicians set up in the courtyard. I immediately remember that they have belly dancing on Thursday night. Damn, it was my idea to eat there, and i had unintentionally shot myself in the foot. I knew that by the nights end, i would have to look like a fool attempting to belly dance. I quickly sat down and ordered a pitcher of Guinness. I figured it would make the impending doom less painful. Unfortunately for me, the first wave of belly dancing came only half way through my first pint. BUT, at that time, only half of our party had shown up, so i got up like the uncoordinated fool that i am.

Everybody else showed up and we dug into a whole lot of food. All in all we had about 15 people there. So the seconds round of belly dancing comes and Steve-O gets pulled up. I have had a little more to drink at this point, so my second performance is a little better (or at least in MY mind its better). We all ended up having a great time. Jen actually was up way past her bedtime, but had a lot of fun talking to Becky (bob's wife). Then out of the blue, Bob just picks up the check for the entire party. THANKS BOB. He's gotta get himself and his wife home cause they are both dead tired. So they leave for their drive to long beach. Everybody else hangs out for a little while longer just drinking and talking.

I get home after and just pass out without turning on my alarm. doesn't matter. for some reason i pop out of bed at 6:30 and i can't get back to sleep. I should have had at least another hour before i had to get up.
