Ariana's B-day party
It's been over a week since my last update, but that's b/c I've been on vacation since last Friday and have been running around doing stuff all week. So I've got a few things to catch up on.
First off, Ariana's b-day party was the other week (on the 16th). To celebrate a group of us (Me, Ariana, Beth, Dan, Henry, Joe, Patty, Athena, Kat, Ashley and Bill) went for dinner at Three of Cups.
The night started off interesting though, as I was the first one to arrive and while I was waiting, somehow the tinsel behind the bartender at the bar, caught on fire. And it started to spread pretty quickly too! Everyone started to freak out and they were grabbing cups of water and throwing it at the burning tinsel. It started to die out but was still going a little, until someone finally grabbed the fire extinguisher and put it out for good. At this point the waiting area was full of smoke and the smell of fire extinguisher, so I stepped out with the other parties waiting to be seated. It all got cleaned up pretty quickly though, but it was just a crazy event to occur and I was a little sad I was the only person in our party to witness it, heh.
But the rest of the dinner went well. We ordered a few of their brick oven pizza pies and had a good time just eatting and chatting.
We followed up dinner by going to the nearby Sing Sing Karaoke on St. Mark's place to belt out some tunes. It started off kind of slow, b/c we were the only people in the main area at first. Me & Ariana kicked things off by singing "Love Shack" by the B-52's and then I sang "Piano Man" along with Dan. Neither version will be released for sale anytime soon...
Things started to pick up as more people started to sing though. Alan and Beth joined us a few minutes after our arrival, and a few other patrons came into the bar so it wasn't just us anymore.
Since some time has passed I'm not gonna be able to remember what songs everybody sang, but I do remember a few. I know Dan sang the Hannukah Song, Alan did about 3 songs (all quite unique), Beth did "What a Man" by Salt & Pepa (very well I might add), Ariana did "Thank You" by Dido as well as "Holiday" by Green Day (which I joined in for). The girls did a Madonna song, as well as "Hangin Tough" by NKOTB. Henry preformed "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey (which I joined in, and we both pulled a "Family Guy" by randomly bursting out into "gigidy, gigidy, giggidy" throughout the song which we found hilarious, and apparently the other people in the bar got the joke and were laughing with us, which made us feel less stupid, heh). And I got up the courage to do 311's "All Mixed Up" all by myself (even though it's technically two parts).
The bar started to fill little by little as the night went on, so we all had an audience, and they got into it as well, singing some stuff we all enjoyed. So all in all it wound up being a pretty fun night. I think everyone had a good time. I would totally do it again (b/c their song selection was so good), the only thing is that their selection of liquor was almost non-existant, so we'd have to drink elsewhere beforehand, heh.
