let me back up for a sec. so, it's not my birthday yet, there's another week to go... but sex dwarf (the awesome 80's new wave dance night i go to every month) was just too close to not celebrate there. so i threw out an invite to the local peeps to do dinner and dancing last night.
dinner was at gianna's, this teeny hole-in-the-wall that serves not only vegan food, but the meatiest meat-laden pizza i've ever had in my life. we're talking full-size strips of bacon, people! a handful of us crammed around a couple of tables in the back (
dhpdesign thought it was hysterical that i'd called to make a reservation, i didn't know it was a DIVE) and tore a couple of pizzas apart like vultures. partytom, ever the excellent friend (and resident alca-tarian), snuck in a 6-pack of beer:
beer? what beer? nothin' to see here but ketchup and mustard...

and
boutell surprised me with one of his awesome from-scratch chocolate cakes!

after stuffing ourselves silly, we headed back to
dhpdesign's place to put on our costumes. now, since sex dwarf is an 80's dance night, the costume party was "come as an 80's new wave star". so... we went as the go-go's from the cover of the "beauty and the beat" album!
