St. Patty's Day NY Style
Having planned to fly home for St Patty's Day to be with my sister for her birthday (day after St Patty's) I was really excited. I was going to leave the coooooooooold weather of NY and enjoy the 80 dg weather of So Cal with James in tow. We planned it and prepared for it for three months.
The morning we were leaving, I get to work and low and behold a snow storm hit NY. It caused all the flights to and from the NY area as well as neighboring states to cancel every flight out that day. I sat on hold with the airline for two hours to be told there was no hope for me to get home for my sisters birthday.
Obviously depressed and extremely disappointed, I was determined to make the best of my weekend. I started by attending a concert by my favorite DJ, Armin van Buuren at Pacha. He was awesome. It was snowing and cold that night and the city was literally covered in snow. James was sweet and drove us (going about a whopping 3 miles per hour) to the concert and we enjoyed it. Other than some gross guy who wouldn't leave me alone, I was happy to have attended.
The following day I got my hair cut (I have bangs!!! lol) and then went down to the village to meet Gracie and Meg for some beer. I was, of course, excited. We arrived at Down The Hatch, which is a sister bar of Mo's and when I arrived I had misplaced my ID. I panicked and basically to make a long story short....James almost got jumped by the bouncer because we were standing on the sidewalk. Good times. lol
I found my ID and we went over to another bar and met Meg and proceeded to party for about 7 hours. We had fun and drank lots of beeeer and laughed all night. At about midnight we went home and I showed up to my apartment with NO power and NO heat!!! I was still slightly innebriated and quite upset. The power and heat was returned the following day at noon. I was freezing all night, but at least I had power the next day.
I rescheduled my trip for mid april and am going for an extra day. I leave April 12th and come home late on the 16th. James won't be joining me, but I will be sure to down at least three In N Out burgers on his behalf! :)
