1. I need a new camera.
2. Have you ever been to a bar that had its own beer coozies?
3. Check out that footwear.
Saturday was my friend Meagan’s birthday at Whiskey Town in the East Village. It was packed and ridiculous. She had reserved a table (if that’s what you call it… it was more like a box) and we had fun kicking random people out and sitting/standing/dancing on the benches the entire night. I haven’t been to a crazy packed bar like that in a long time. I had just come from my alumni bar on the UWS so I was just in one of my college t-shirts, jeans and multi-colored rainboots. My friend Stephanie laughed and said she loved how I was unapologetically wearing a t-shirt at the bar on a Saturday night. Ha. It was kind of fun to be dressed down, I felt like I just wandered in off the street. Which, I sort of did.
Anyway, they had the Halloween theme going on already, too, with carved pumpkins and spiderwebs and such. We saw a couple girls in Witch hats and I got a little jealous. I love it when people wear crazy shiz. At some time during the night some kid thought it would be fun to open his umbrella inside and dance underneath it with his friends. Yeah… he got yelled at.
But it was fun:
Something else I learned is that some people like to drink picklebacks: a shot of whiskey followed by a shot of pickle juice. I do love pickles, but I don’t know about this one…
Oh, and Whiskey Town has a photobooth. Next time!

Down here in the swamps we have a good drink called the “Island Slammer Hammer” It’s 2 shots of coconut milk, 2 shots of mango juice, and 2 shots of Wild Turkey. It’s served over ice with a slice of mango in it.

Hmmm that sounds a LOT better than a pickleback!

What kind of camera do you have? I kind of like the way most of the pics turn out.

Thanks, it’s a Nikon coolpix circa 2005, maybe? I actually bought a used one online after mine got stolen off a beach in Miami. I think it takes good shots, too, but it fails me sometimes in these darker restaurants/bars when I’m trying to take a good shot of food/people.
