bettys last weekend

[ audio selection | greenday – pulling teeth ]

so i havent posted since thursday…oops. its not from a lack of fun shit or anything…just really havent had the time to. which is good, right? whatev. backtracking to thursday, which was the spiewak and resfest party at the lansky lounge in les. it was a bit sucky tho, considering that when i met ___ to head into the party, there was a line outside that wrapped around to delancey. bugger that. dora and company showed up too, and we waited in line a bit before deciding to head off to pianos instead. pianos was pretty chill, if not a little loud. other party people showed up too to join us, tho after an hour or so most of the group headed back to check out the lansky lounge again. me and ___ decided to skip out for crepes on ludlow instead, where we snacked on a nutella and strawberries crepe, then a spinach and feta one as a follow-up…yum.

FRIDAY
friday was me-day yo. i stayed in.

SATURDAY
den mother alice woke my ass up satty morning for dim sum at grand harmony with the crew. her mandarin wasnt getting thru to some of the cantonese wait staff…but jj was with us, so we were rockin’ the cantonese too. i walked around soho after dim sum with sally, and actually ran into a large contingent of high school friends roaming broadway. i was like…shit, that girl over there looks like suzie…and christine too…and jaime…and amy…and irene. small world yo. they were actually in the city to take a friend around for her bachelorette weekend.

“who?“
“maureen.“
“shit, really?“
“yea, shes right here…“
“….eh? holy shit!“

i hadnt seen maureen since high school…and didnt even recognize her. it was def coo to see them all again, but i still couldnt wrap my head around the fact that maureen was getting married…eek!

bo-ras about to leave our sorry asses for korea, so m planned a coo surprise drinky drink for her satty nite. she took her to din at highline thai with her bro and another friend, while the rest of us waited downstairs in the bar. so when they finished din, m shuttled her downstairs to the bar.

“lemme just grab a smoke outside…“
“no, no smoke. lets go drink downstairs.”
“just a smoke yo.”
“downstairs bizatch!“

so when she came downstairs, she coincidentally ran into our big crew of bo-ra lovers. holy shit, word! the whole crew turned out, and we drank and took rounds of pics with betty. after an hour or so, we headed out and over to west for more drinks. the place was a little weird (it was the ground floor of a modern apartment building), but chill. after having more drinks, a few of us were craving sul long tang from gam mee ok. like harold and kumar and white castle, except korean style. actually, i guess harold was korean, so that was already “korean style”…whatev. we headed over to the west side highway to grab a taxi. jjs going, “dont grab a taxi from the west side yo…” and we’re like whatev. so betty waves one down, it pulls up, and 5 seconds later (important detail, so pay attention) we hear “THUNK THUNK!“. fucking two cars simultaneously rear-ended the taxi and the car that rear-ended the taxi. holy shit…we turned tail and walked the other direction really really fast. yea we felt bad for the taxi driver, but we just wanted foodage and it was late and half of us were near trashed. we waved down another set of taxis and headed over to k-town…this time with no unexpected collisions. we just ate our sul long tang and were happy.

SUNDAY
anna organized a little dessert thang at her apartment for betty sundy nite. so we all showed up with mad desserts in hand. there were brownies, cupcakes, two panya cakes (including a green tea tiramisu i brought), and various other munchies. we drank sangria, ate, and chilled out on the fire escape overlooking st. marks. bettys fucking leaving us yo…i think im gonna cry.
