Well, last night was a humdinger……………you’ve read the ode to Marty – and last night was his last night in Champaign – we had been invited to quite a lavish cocktail party and went with two other friends of ours………
The night started out nicely – joining the other two at their place for a pre-cocktail – which turned into three…..
Then we got to the party and may have been over served. The lovely hosts of this party may never invite me back again – but I will tell you the story anyway……..as we were finally leaving the party the three of us were waiting patiently in the foyer for Marty to finish talking – having a few beverages in me – it seemed like a good idea to open up a gift tin that was on the table in the entry……..well that fucking thing flew open like one of those cans with the giant snake that flies out – and damn peanut clusters went everywhere!! Billy and I flew to the floor to pick them up and fish them out from under furniture and jam them back into the canister –which I had somehow bent – anyway, we got them corralled and got the lid back on!! This morning I got a text from Brice, who simply said “I think there’s a hair on this peanut cluster” ------- there could also be some carpet fuzz – but these two keep an immaculate home so it should be ok!
From there we decided to go downtown for one last drink with Marty – well one turned into two and then a bottle of champagne – and then someone bought us shots – which I wisely handed out to others – but then the fateful decision was made………..
We went to Chester Street. And we walked in and Billy and I went straight to the speakers climbed up and started to dance – we looked up and two more people came in that we had seen at Boltini and then all hell broke lose. We danced with everyone – we had them climbing up on the speakers – we were jumping around from one side of the speakers to the other engaging everyone in the bar in this falderal. We did red and green jello shots and someone was passing out condoms that now come with a little sidecar pack of lube attached – quite clever!
I finally went to bed about 4am – I lost an earring, a shoe – which turned up later – I misplaced one of my friends but he’s been found. I actually made it to Marty’s house at 6:30 as planned to take him to the airport – but I was in someone else’s car – I did collect mine later with the help of my sister. The day was sort of wasted, but after 6 ibuprofen, one migraine pill, 2 bottles of grape G2, two glasses of iced coffee and a nap – I showered and made it to the party du jour at my aunt’s house at 6pm………that’s another story for another day!
Anyway, Marty and I started our friendship partying our asses off and we closed this chapter the same way………..the next chapter starts tomorrow and I already have my plane tickets!
Love,
