*squeal*!

tonight was SO much fun! i got to the bar around 9:45 to wait for my new karaoke bud to show up... as i was having a drink and chatting with the bartender, the door opened... i turned to see if it was him... and in walked B, one of my girlfriends from college! (this is the girl i went to a wedding with last year, where everyone thought we were lesbians...). we both completely freaked out when we saw each other. she said to me, "hold on, let me say hi to some of my friends and then i'll sit with you..." after a minute, i turned to see where she was, and who was she talking to but the guy who had invited me there in the first place. after a second freakout, we all sat together and had an absolute effing BLAST. it was just the right combination of good people (the group i was with were just the nicest, funniest, friendliest people ever), good music (he has one of the best karaoke voices i've ever heard), and silliness (everyone was singing, even the bartender and waitstaff). it was just a ball. and the DJ actually gave me his card and asked me to come sing at some of the other nights he DJs at... how nice was that????

so, not only do i have an awesome new group of karaoke friends, i also think i've found my new hangout. it's a bit far, about 1/2 hour away, but i just felt really at home there. it's a tiny place, but it's cozy and nice and the food is supposedly phenomenal. the karaoke won't be a doable thing during a normal week, especially with my schedule, but i loved the staff there and i could totally see myself having dinner and a glass of wine at the bar on a random weekend. yay!

off to bed... almost 3am, i'm too old for this!
