Last Thursday, went to The Wind-up, however, they had some African drum jazz sax beat poetry crap, so we left after one drink and went down to Club Charles where we met Rob, and randomly Steph and Kyle who were there with Stu and Tyler. Had two delicious Jeremy white Russians, Nick drove my car, slept there, then left when he went to work, slept at home till 10:30 when Carmin got up and we took all of that stuff to the Good Will. After dropping that off, we got a bagel and coffee, then purchased a new dish drainer (crazy times). She had to get ready for that event from work that her and Allen were going to that evening. I bummed around at the mall till it was time to get ready for the 60's Girl Groups thing at the Sidebar. That was a lot of fun, although it started out ridiculously packed and unbearable. Bill came out, but wasn't feeling it, so he left early on. I felt bad, since this was my idea, and he had been excited about it (there were a lot of older people there that knew Matt from The City Paper, so atleast he felt good about not being the oldest person there.). Rob and his brother came out, as did Lori. Nick and I danced so much. Once The Motorettes played, the place cleared out enough where one could dance comfortably. Rob and Melanie showed up, I think just because of City Paper people. Whatever, we were there because we are actually into that kind of music. Hit The Wind-up afterwards, saw Angel and that guy George and Chrissy. Went back to Hampden, slept in. Saturday got coffee and then lunch at Soup's On. Still haven't had a soup there that I like, but eh. Took a walk, hung out at mine, went to dinner with Nick's parents at Annabelle Lee. Really, really good, once again. We got some appetizers for the table to share (the crabdip pizza and sweet potato fries, both delicious.), Nick got a bowl of their soup of the day (corn bisque with duck and chicken, very good for the corn, not crazy about the idea of the duck.). I opted for the crab and corn quesadilla, which was very nice, although I could have done with some sour cream, and Nick got his Kobe beef sliders topped with pulled pork. Everyone enjoyed their food, and I began my meal with a nice, big Raven cocktail, which didn't hurt. Nick and Rob did a guys' night and I hung out with Victor then went back to Hampden. Sunday was a nice, lazy day, although we did one productive thing in walking to the Giant and getting stuff to make lunch (Italian sausage filled cheese tortolini with white truffle olive oil, marinara, and parmasean, and garlic bread.), then watched Spinal Tap and more MST shorts. Ate dinner at Golden West, but I was a little underwhelmed with the food. I called out of work on Monday (very bad, I know.). Went to Vogue, hopefully I get some money for those clothes. Got coffee and a bagel at Common Ground. Went to Club Charles that evening. Rob met us, we got the V.I.P. Room. They went to a Capitals' game in D.C. yesterday, but got back in time to go to The Ottobar. Carmin and Allen came out, which was a real treat. They said that they had fun, and it was just really nice to have them there. Christina came out, too. Right before we left, they played A Town Called Malice, so we had no choice but to dash to the dancefloor. Rob kept giving us a hard time for making out. Had gone to dinner with Dad and Mary to Bertucci's. They gave me $300, which I really appreciate, but then my dad gave me shit about my tattoos, and an couple of other things that bothered me. Even after he tempered it with explaining and saying that he just doesn't want me to have any disadvantages, it still bothered me. Anyways, new Top Chef tonight, it is the finale. Hope Stefan makes it work (to quote Tim Gunn and combine my reality favourites.). Will be glad to see Nick tomorrow. Have to get those tickets for The Kills in Philly in May, too. Nick is going to get the ones for Robyn Hitchcock in D.C.. Hope they are all still available.
