Just got back from Trader Vic's...

[NewWaveChick1981]

I met my good friend who lives in town at Trader Vic's, and her husband and parents were with her too. They helped celebrate her birthday, and since I couldn't get there until 8 PM, I just had a Mai Tai (or maybe two... ). I love the Tiki theme, and there was a band there playing live Hawaiian music.

Does it get any ginchier than that? *sigh*

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. Just a Mai Tai or two?

Pfft. Amateur.

[NewWaveChick1981]

4. Yeah, but it's a school night and everything...

Two. And they were very strong. I had a really good buzz going, and I've still got some of it. And the mai tais were half price since it's Thursday, so I got two for one.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. That never stopped me.

I must just be in better practice, or something.

[NewWaveChick1981]

6. Maybe so...

I used to be able to do stuff like that on a "school night" and be fine the next day. However, these days, I just can't. Damn, I'm starting to sound like an old fart....

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

12. I've been told it will catch up with me in a few years.

So far, the worse that happens is something like the time a container of soy yogurt attacked my face and won.

I still haven't lived that one down.

[NewWaveChick1981]

14. LOL...That soy yogurt can be vicious...

And yes, things will catch up with you sooner or later.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. Yeah, that soy yogurt split my fucking lip open.

It looked like I had herpes.

(The perils of checking in a grocery delivery at 6am while still intoxicated)

[NewWaveChick1981]

21. Oooh, that sounds awful...

Glad it healed.

2. I must ask the obvious question:

Did you see a werewolf drinking a pina colada?

[NewWaveChick1981]

3. Come to think of it...

I think he was sitting at the bar. Either that or a big hairy guy who likes tropical drinks was there. And no, I'm not in London. And Warren Zevon wasn't there either.

7. Was the werewolf's hair perfect?

And was he drinking a pina colada?

[NewWaveChick1981]

8. Absolutely.

[bridgit]

9. did the band play my favorite...

When The Moon Shines On ComeOnIWannaLay'Ya Bay

[NewWaveChick1981]

10. Hmmm.. I thought I heard that playing...

I know for sure they played Hillbilly Hawaiian Gal, though...

[bridgit]

13. just please god anything but Tiny Bubbles...

[NewWaveChick1981]

15. Just say NO to Don Ho...

[Reciprocity]

11. I prefer Lee Ho Fook.

They make a mean dish of beef chow mein.

[NewWaveChick1981]

16. Cool!

[Reciprocity]

20. I think I can see Warren in the window.

[Robb]

18. It's rare when one company has contributed so much to civilization

Ah, the Mai Tai. God bless them. God bless them all.

[NewWaveChick1981]

23. Yes, indeed...

[Lex]

19. If your sig line is something you actually saw, then

we were at UNC-CH at the same time.



Glad your Mai Tais were tasty. I love Tiki lights--I really do!

[NewWaveChick1981]

22. Yes, I actually saw it in the third-floor women's restroom in Carroll Hall

so yes, we were probably there at the same time. UNC-CH restrooms had the world's best graffiti!!! I started fall 1981 and graduated spring 1985, then I worked in the financial aid office on campus from 1985 through the end of 1988.

The author of that particular piece of graffiti has NO idea how much of an impression it made on me...
