Non-Stop Party Now

Thursday: take a mid-term, which I probably failed, go for a night run in the park; watch Se7en for the first time, it's a blend, then it's to Horchata and Leila's residence @ 115th & Riverside. Proceed to watch and dance to Shakira's "Shewolf" music video, and many other classics from the late 90s/early 00s, including Beyonce, TLC, Mariah Carey, Fat Joe, Ashanti, Ja Rule, and JLo.
Drink two 22s of  Blue Point Toasted Lager, currently one of my favorite beers. By 11 o'clock, we are a pack of eight rolling to 1020. Walk in - it is crowded. I get a hold of the bartender, we are friends, I ask her for three drinks and four shots of whiskey. It is only $18. This must be because we are friends. I am blessed with good fortune in that I know the bartender. Take the shots (with three other people) and make rounds. I'm sitting in the back next to DeWilliam and I say, "It is hot in here, we should move on." He agrees. We gather the troops and, having been there maybe only fifteen minutes, we are out the door and moving again. We will obviously be back to 1020 before the night is over.
Next up: Lion's Head, a block away. Pitchers are bought, blends are done - we are now around ten people. Cousins, friends, old & new blends, we are a merry group. Spirits are high. It's not everyday that great spirits align to become one gigantic super spirit. Everyone is so giggly, and drunk, and high on life, and other things. We are there for maybe an hour.
We decide it is time to move on, attempt to go to La Negrita, which is closed? So we walk down to Ding Dong! Our group doubles in number the amount of people who are in the bar before we get there. wooooo COLUMBIA kids! We are so cool. More drinks. I think I have a Blue Moon. Dancing. Good music, though I'm not sure what was played --> hardly important.
And we're back to 1020! It could be 2am, maybe 230. See some of my favorite people. [Melvin is home in Portland for the weekend, we miss him]
Red hook, red hook, how dare you give me that look! Time to go.
Lisa Leslie, young BUC, Salts McGalts, Tomb Raider, and DeWilliam all joined me for a session back at 9 & 3/4 around 3am. I am fucked up at this point. I look around the room. Everyone else is, too. We listen to music and laugh. DUH. I started sending lots of texts to people once they leave around 4am. I climb in to bed with my phone and --SWEET SLUMBER.

To Be Continued....
