Saturday, 4PM. Alex calls me and asks me to go with him, his friend Nicole and his friend Joe to go see "A Raisin in the Sun" and have dinner in the city. I wasn't really feeling it but I said I would go along anyway. It was semi-awkward because Nicole, Joe and I didn't know each other and Alex was intent on "friend fusion." Alex was running on empty and I had offered to pay for some gas but what he didn't get was that I said "fill it up" as a joke. ($36.75.... but he paid me back half ;) ) We made a surprise pick-up in Brooklyn, getting Kathryn and heading into the city. Lauren recommended this restaurant in the East Village called "Max," a real hole in the wall kinda place. The wait was over an hour long so we went to this bar called Simone's and had a drink. Alex got hit on by some sketchy guy from Montreal and we got thoroughly prepped for more drinking later on. The food at Max was good and cheap, always a plus and then afterwards we went to another bar nearby called Apocalypse. We met a great group of Irish and Scottish students interning in NY. Some highlights: Kathryn kicking Ewan's ass in a pillowfight in the "crackden"; me losing a dollar to Kathryn b/c the DJ wasn't gay; the shadowdancer; the discussion about European colleges with Colin Beady; Zepplin and AC/DC in one night; next semester's project: steve wood. we stopped over kat's place and used the bathroom, i gave a tour to the impressed newbies and had a couple of cigarettes in her backyard while she regaled us with stories of her parents. we left her place around 2, dropped joe around 2:45, smoked up (just a bit) in headless park (sea cliff, long island) around 3:15. alex found a half used pack (including lighter) of LUCKY STRIKE SILVERS. Those of you who are in the know, KNOW why these have significant meaning to me. Adding another plus, there were the anti-smoking stickers on the box in Italian. I hastily translated and reveled in my worldliness. Needless to say, we smoked all that in 20 minutes. / Nicole, Alex and I went to sleep in Alex's house around 5am and woke up at 9 to have an amazing breakfast at Diane's Bakery in Roslyn. I went home and went to sleep. Fin.
