Saturday night I had the pleasure of hanging out with a rather nice group at an apartment party celebrating Dan’s 25th birthday and Dan & Jonah’s offical apartment warming party for their upper west side digs. Quite memorable, at least from what I can remember. Got to hang out with former coworker Lauren for a while, which was a nice plus. Even saw a staged fight on the building’s front door security channel — complete with head waving and thrown jackets. All in all a good night out.

I mean, can’t you tell in the pictures?

Due to a kitchen renovation in progress, my cousin’s annual St. Patrick’s Day party was canceled, leaving me with a hole in my schedule and an opportunity to sieze. As luck would have it, Donny had the notion of celebrating the holiday properly — in our favorite Irish Pub, the Dublin House.

We certainly weren’t the only ones with that bright idea. There was a 30 to 45 minute wait in line to even get in the front door, though they were nice enough (not to mention smart enough) to set up a bar outside where you could get a few Guinness’ while you waited. Maybe you saw it on News12, cause they had a newscaster freezing her ass off cover it.

Turned out to be a pretty good night. My sister came along with some of her friends from work, Nick and Vivian came out as well, and I got to hang out with Pete for the first time in a while.

Guess who’s who in the following pictures.
