Why Wednesday

It's half-way through the week and I haven't yet done my post-weekend breakdown.

I've been out of sorts this week, I guess. Joe's going out of town again today, and so i've been busy. In addition, I found out Monday that Friday is not a holiday like I thought it was. Major bummer. I was looking forward to a 3 day weekend. No such luck.

Anyway, last Friday was the second meeting of Dinner Club. We had a big group this time. Me, CC, Dave, Sarah, Jesse, Darcie, and Ryan all went to STK for a nice steak dinner. It was so so so so good! Practically melted in my mouth.

We had read several review online that said even with a reservation there would be a wait, but we were only at the bar about 5 minutes before we were seated. We had a huge round booth with a couple tables on the outside. Right across from us was the guy who had just won Project Runway the week before! Sadly, that was our only celebrity encounter.

CC decided to order oysters ont he half shell for the table, as Sarah and I had never had them, and he loves them. I did not like it. It wasn't awful, but it was very hard to swalow. And it tasted like the sea. Sarah felt the same way. Everyone else gobbled them up.

For dinner everyone had steak, except for Sarah, who got the duck. We got sides to share: mac and cheese, cauliflower, roasted potatoes, creamed spinach, and the parmesan truffle fries. They were amazing. Thick fries cooked in truffle oil and topped with parmesan. Yumm!!

No one had any room for dessert.

Afterward a brief costume change by me, we all went to Jimmy's Lounge for PYT (Pretty Young Things). I had never been before, and it was really sweet. Clay met us there, along with Bernard and his girlfriend Fong, who were there with a bunch of their friends.

There was no cover, and when we got there (right before 11:00pm) we got two free drink tickets at the door. That was a first! You don't have to pay to get in and there are free drinks? Sweet!

They had a set-up in the back with a background and a photographer, so people would go and pose for pics and you could watch. It was great entertainment!

So we spent all night dancing and having fun, before cabbing it back home.

Saturday was a lazy day. We went bowling with Larry in the Valley, but that was about it. CC went to see The State's comedy show at UCB in the evening, but I stayed home and met up with Alex.

Sunday CC got us a chocolate cake! We thought about picnicing, but neither of us were really feeling it. We ended up going to Damiano's for a pizza. Then we went to the plant store and got a Cyclomens. Potted that, and began painting/writing.

It was a nice afternoon.

The next weekend can't come fast enough.
