And we'll have Halloween on Christmas

The point of this blog isn't going to be to write about my life, but sometimes you have such silly ridiculous nights that you just have to write about them. Friday night was just one of those nights.

Prologue

Leslie and I started off the night with dinner and mojitos, actually she may have had a martini. We went to tabaq and didn't get kicked out which was a first for me there. We fought our way through the rain to the nearest bar with people in it since it is Christmas weekend after all and everyone seems to be away. This landed us at Bar Pilar. I decided it was going to be a girly drink night so I ordered myself a Malibu sunrise. We made friends with the bar tender conversing over what was on tv in the bar (8 men out), A couple drinks in Leslie's friend Frank Turner showed up. Then this is where the ridiculous started. First off I think frank decided to have girly drink night too b/c after tasting mine he ordered himself one as well (later switched over to the most manly drink he could think of to make up for it). The quiet bar tender took control of the remote and switched to mad max which I had never seen before, but after watching it in silence i need to see it again.

Chapter 1. The Bullet Wound.

Then this random guy came over and tried harder than any guy I've ever seen to get into conversation with us. At one point even trying to use the fact he was Jewish as an in, i guess its no secret about me. After many attempts at ending conversation Leslie eventually tells him that I'm her girlfriend to which i didn't argue in an effort to shoo him away. Eventually he asks Leslie about her bandage on her arm and she tells him her phony story about getting mugged and stabbed. He retorts that he too was a victim of a mugging but instead of stabbing he got shot in the arm and offered to show us the bullet wound. After looking in and down his shirt to see no wound he claimed he had plastic surgery to make it less visible. In a last attempt to talk to us he offered to buy us drinks which we turn down and, finally he Miraculously left us alone now.

Chapter 2. Vampyros Lesbos.

Mad max has ended and quiet bar tender changes the tv to the sundance channel's classic film Vampyros Lesbos. and yes, it was a 70's soft core lesbian porn. This movie was hilarious. Nadine is a vampire who got turned off men when the initial vampire assaulted her and turned her into a vampire. Agra is the helpless new girl getting turned into a vampire by nadie as well as taking part in lots of lesbian activity with nadine. During the key sex scenes they would cut to images of scorpions or kite's flying. I don't know. The bartender we had befriended kept coming over to chat about the porn and after my ordering possibly my 5th or so Malibu sunrise he gave up on giving them to me in the normal lowball glass and started serving them in pint glasses. Then he asks us to wave to his manager to show the manager that the patrons were watching the porn and it was ok to have on in the bar. In return he buys us a round of shots. I don't know what I got but it was good. Chatty bartender took tequila for himself. I guess my red cheeks and the discussions we were having led the bartender to ask me maybe 3 times if i was sure i didn't need a glass of water. oh dear. I was in one of those moods where I was like I'll show him, I don't need any water! A couple drinks later we decided to leave. Remember I've had my fair share of drinks at a pricey bar and Leslie and frank definitely had at least as many. The tab came to 50 bucks. Chatty bartender is awesome.

I didn't even write about half the ridiculousness. Some nights you just need a good night to go out and laugh :) This definitely was that night.
