Best Date Ever

After the Guggenheim adventure, friend and I made our way down to one of NY's douche bars (not to be confused with a dive bar, dear friend), Whiskey River for an event my old company was putting on. The bar wasn't terrible, but the fact that it was on 2nd and 30th didn't help it's cause. The event was to promote Late Night with Jimmy Falon. He showed up, played a quick game of beer pong, and to be honest, was quite unexciting. No worries, we managed to have a great time anyways! We chatted with my old Zoom friends, had lots of laughs, took souvenir Polaroid's (branded for the show of course), snagged LNJF t-shirts and enjoyed a few complimentary beverages. 

After a few rounds of boring beer pong, we made our way to a nearby bar where a friend was spinning. DJ Paz played some awesome songs, so we danced the night away to Madonna's Like a Prayer (one of my all time favs. Hey sister, remember our dance routines to that song!) and a bunch of other great songs. We didn't even care that we were the only one's dancing (the bar was filled with a bunch of suits and boring people). I even learned how to DJ!  

All in all - an amazing night. Guggenheim, Jimmy Falon, free drinks, souvenirs, free peanut bars, learning to DJ, dancing to some awesome beats all night long. A girl can't really ask for more.

The End of an Era

Ok, well maybe not exactly an era. My first post college manager is leaving the country for his homeland. He hails from Aussie land and has apparently decided he has had enough of life in the States. Needless to say I will miss his "ashooms", "res-shoe-mays", and "paw-ma-zons" (that's his way of saying assume, resume and parmesan). Working with him has taught me how to understand the hot Aussies that hit on me in bars, so thanks D for that!

Anyhow, my old team braved the semi cold temperatures and met up for a goodbye lunch at Shake Shack (which just got rated best burger in NY!). Man do I miss them. Lunch consisted of gossip, hilarious stories, delicious burgers and D getting shat on by a bird. Some goodbye. :)

Rolling with the Homies

While I am not a huge fan of bowling, I decided that meeting up with 5 Zoom friends was worth it. Needless to say, I ended up at Leisure Lanes at Port Authority the other night. Fun times!

It was a rough day. Nothing makes it better like a martini and bowling.

While Ken and I got normal looking bowling shoes, Blake got stuck with the kid proof-velcro versions. I did however get two left shoes at first.

Why can't we take a normal group photo?

While I have always known I was bad at bowling - I promise I am not usually this terrible! A score of 45 - now that is just EMBARRASSING! I swear the last time I bowled I even got 2 strikes.
