Cupcakes and Chocolate Fountains

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

So the 3-day birthday extravaganza started out with TNO, but I’m going to skip ahead to the real fun which was at the “Bite Me - No really, I insist” party Kate and her roommates hosted last Friday.  There were so many great things about the party, I can’t possibly blog them all, so I’ll give you a few of my favorite highlights, like the chocolate fountain you see above.

Kate showing off her years of experience doing the wine-glass-and-hair-dryer balancing act.

Candy necklace eating contest.

Whips.

Pain.

Bondage.

And Burton.

really,

really,

drunk. God bless the digicam.  These are the photos I blog for.

Did i mention everyone had to pick a boyfriend for the night?

Everyone stashed them in different places.

And, just like in real life, some were greedy and insisted on taking two (ahem! girl in the red!)

The party included some sweet college undergrad flashbacks.  Like Jello shots.

And lots of red plastic cups.

Towards the end of the night, we sang happy birthday to Kate.

And I was nice enough to keep my promise of whiskey to Alex since he beat me in our snowboarding race.

He loved it.

At the end of the night I had whip cream sprinkled all over my dress and pieces of feather boa stuck to my shoes. (look at the left heel!).

Ok- rewind to Thursday for birthday TNO which was at The Professor’s Loft- a new favorite of mine.  Close to home, cheap drinks, and a pretty nice space. Here’s Jeff, Preston, and Ran.

Gabe and I were hungry so we promptly ordered one of everything fried.

Stefan was kind of upset we didn’t want to share.

So Kate and I made him feel better with a group hug.

I spent most of the night just trying to quench my thirst. Er...this isn’t my darkly painted fingernail, but whatever, I like the shot.

Mid-TNO Gabe took over the DJ booth and turned the bar into a crazy crazy dance party.

I tried to spend some quality time with Josh. But, as usual, he only had obscene words and gestures for me.

I left Josh and his evil laugh and decided to pick up Tikva instead, which is always tons of fun.

Ok, on to Saturday.  We decided to have our birthday at Back Room.  Some other blogger predicted Back Room would be too crowded and suggested we move the party to another bar. We ignored him.

Turns out Back Room was too crowded, so we had to move the party to another bar.

We ended up at Revolver.  Also pretty crowded, but better than Back Room.

Thanks to all the rockstars that came.  Like Ran.

And Gabe. (PS- Ripped these pics off from Ran’s Flickr!)

And Songul.

And Elvis.

Extra special thanks to Dave G. for coming- cause he brought these almost-too-pretty-to-eat cupcakes. I snagged that pb and chocolate one on the bottom left.

So good.

Anyway, a couple more pics....

and a couple more drinks...

..and we were on our way to yet another bar.

I snagged the last cupcake.

And took it on a march through the LES. We ended the night at The Annex.

I think I got home around 3 something.  I guess that’s kinda early, but I was pretty tired after our third birthday celebration.  I guess I’m getting old.  Thanks x2000 to everyone who helped us celebrate.  Happy Birthday Kate.

Thanks again for cleaning out the chocolate fountain.

1: I was not drunk. That was just Burton letting lose. I had only had two drinks. (And I know I’m leaving myself wide open for a joke about my tolerance.)

2: This is a great site. Really. I think you might be the world’s only good writer who is named after a season. I’m proud of you, Blondie.
