Started the evening yesterday with going to the hockey game. The Leafs are losing 3-1 and I make SportsGuy leave the game early so we can get to a bar for a pre-drink before we go to the real bar. He doesn't want to leave yet. "You watch he says, the Leafs will win 4-3" "No way, I said." Anyway as we're sitting at the bar watching the Leafs tie the game and eventually win 4-3, he's pissed at me and we were off to Ultra Supper club on Queen West.
My buddy SportsGuy asked a couple of his friends to join us. One was 24 and the other was 26 and total party girls. A couple of my co-workers showed up and some colleagues with whom I deal. We even hooked up with the owner of one of our larger retailers and the night was underway. We ended up getting a little booth with bottle service and just had the time of our lives. I've been to this club before and didn't have that great a time but I think the combination of people there last night made it a blast. I had an amazing time. Everyone was in good spirits and genuinely had a good time.
So I'm outside with Pepe LePew and my friend Wyseone and we're waiting for a cab. Well, at 2 in the morning when all the clubs are closing its impossible to get a cab. We finally get one and this girl, who was also trying to flag a cab, comes running up and asks us where we're going. Well, even though we were going in the total opposite direction, I let her share the cab with us. I guess I'm just that type of guy. Anyway I ask her where she was going and she said some grungy after hours club with some co-workers. So, I ask if I could go. "You're dressed way too nice for this place," she said. After a little chit chat I she's like "sure" come. Only problem now is I have the other two sitting beside me in the cab. On top of that, this is time change weekend which made it 3 am already. I haven't stopped regretting that I didn't just hop out of the cab with her to this moment. Oh well.
I end up crashing at Sleeper's place, woke up but now my car is at Square One, because I had left it there and SportsGuy drove to the game the night before. A $60 cab ride later (because Sleeper was too sick to drive me) I'm at SportsGuy's place. Its after 1 pm at this point. I'm tired and I haven't showered yet.
Ring, its the phone. Turns out our little party gals from last night are still going. They're at Yonge and Eglinton and they want us to meet them for a drink. "Sorry girls, we can't make it. We have commitments." Ten minutes later we're on the highway on our way to meet the girls. We end up going to this nice Italian restaurant and have an amazing lunch. Nice wine and lots of laughter.
As they head to the next bar, we pull the rip cord. Its already 6:30 pm. I've been out for 27 hours and slept for 4... if you can call that sleeping.
I finally leave SportsGuy's place, he's asleep on the couch. I go home and clean the fish tank. The kids are at a sleepover so the house is quiet. Now all I want to do is sleep... for about 10 years!!!!!
