Last night was quite a party. Went to Ned Divine’s for writegeekgirl’s 30th birthday bash. Quite fun. Had a few Guinnesses straight up, and an Irish Carbomb. I’d never had a Carbomb before, and it was yum. I’ve never been able to chug regular swill beer, but strangely enough (at least for some people), I can chug Guinness pretty well — and even better when it’s got a little sweetener (Irish Creme) in it.

The band who played the bar that night, Hot Buttered Elvis, was surprisingly fun… we skeptics were (what else) a bit cynical at first, but they were good. Did a lot of covers, and showed quite a range, even though they hit a few that I didn’t particularly like. Metallica, 311, Creed, Beatles, Soft Cell — and sounded a lot like the appropriate band. Played a few others too, in a hepped-up beat… like a hard rock version of “Candle in the Wind”, which was amusiing. In any case, a lot of us, particularly CM and I, were rockin’ out, singin’ and dancin’ the whole night. CM and I actually unabashedly did the air guitar thing much of the time.

In any case, a happy birthday to writergeekgirl, and a shout-out to lazygarden and anyone else who was there that might be reading this. What a night! So what, if today I have a little bit of a scratchy voice and smell a bit like cigar and cigarette smoke…it was a good time. Seeing as I’m not hungover, though, and it’s a nice day, I should spend sometime outdoors.
