Some people just dont know when to quit. Thats all Im going to say about that...because I DO know when to quit.
On the very bright side, I had a wonderful New Years Eve AND New Years Eve EVE. Sunday night, The Town Pants played the Blarney Stone. It was supposed to be a New Years Eve party for everyone who has to work during the festivities on actual New Years Eve. There was a count down, free champagne, the whole meal deal. Danica and I got to finish off the champagne bottle and have a few free shots because the bartender with the mullet had a big crush on us...and on top of that I had alot of beer. I think I would have felt better in the morning if I hadnt mixed my alchys. Oh well! I also saw hottie Irish guy there. He was working again and I ran into him very briefly. I guess after he got off work he texted me, but I didnt get it till morning. And now I have a date. Thursday. Im a little bit nervous....and very much excited. Irish accent...*drool*
New Years Eve was a pretty cool night too. All us ladies got gussied up all pretty which was fun. I never dress up and I NEVER wear high heels, but dayum did we look goooood! Our first stop was at the lamplighter for the Chaz Royale Burlesque Show. I only saw one act because it was so crowded that you couldnt see anything. The one act I did see though, was awesome. After a while we decided that it was too crowded to have a good time so we decided to try and get into the Cambie and catch the Furios set. First we had to get our coats from coatcheck though which literally took an hour. I guess the girls who were running the coatcheck ran out of hangers and just started piling the coats on top of eachother on the floor. When I went in to get my coat, I was waist high in jackets and scarves. Not a pretty scene. Plus I had to pee real bad. So we bolted to the Cambie and a really nice bouncer let us in. He wasnt supposed to because they were too full, but everyone was singing along outside the pub and it was clear we love the band so he let us in. And then we danced. It was fabulous. I love nights like that...minus a few douche bags who were getting a bit aggressive.
I honestly wasnt looking forward to celebrating the end of one of the worst years of my life, but the last few nights showed me that there is still a bit of promise in 2008. Thank god.
