Hey Meggoo!

How was your first day at work?

Megoo's Birthday!

So, i came in late on Megoo's birthday cause i was in Oooooooooo-klahoma where the wind whips gently down the plain. (Oklahoma)

But Megoo and Momma were staying at my place this weekend for another Jolie memorial show, which just happened to fall on Megoo's birthday.

i met up with the two of em afterwards close to midnight at the Beauty Bar down on 14th, and what fun it was!

i typically stay away from Saturday nites out in the city, but this, being a very special occasion was an easy exception.

Megoo accepted her birthday headdress with no argument at all, and she wore it for the rest of the night. We ate wheat-free cupcakes of many flavors, drank shots of Maker's Mark (*with a "little bit of cherry" for the bday girl), sang that good ol happy birthday tune, talked drunk talk with Momma, and stayed good and late. Momma pulled the old fashioned dryer hangiing over her chair down over her head as she waited for us at our table, and kicked back Momma style. It was cute. , Nobody knew it was Megoo's birtyday until the headdress came. Once on, i am happy to report that she did put it to good use.

On the way home, we danced in the streets, befriended two crazy-friendly and very shiney daschunds who wanted to climb into Meggoo's bag, picked up late-nite take out sweet potato fries (with ketchup and mustard), which we ate as we walked the happy blocks to home.

Then we slept the sleep of vacationers with no concern for further siteseeing adventures in my politely trashed room.

It was lovely.

We eventually woke up, hooked up with Katy Gallagher and Megoo's old bud Vanessa, and found our way to woman-run and -cheffed Prune down the street for an awesome marsapone cheese/fig/pear/beignet/pinenut starter, bloody marys, and random really good brunch fare in a very crowded place. Had time to all sit down for some wine and a toast with everyone and the roomies before searching down Laguardia-bound cabs for the travelers.

Good birthday weekend! Let's do it again!

Now, go write something on the previous post regarding the menu we are preparing for the next shebang.
