this weekend was awesome.

aside from buying a new car, we headed to nyc for some hanging out and the color purple on broadway.

saturday we headed up to nyc around 4pm and got stuck in hella traffic. we finally reached steve’s in jersey city at about 7:45pm. we met steve’s hubby who was very handsome and nice. we had some lovely appetizers an d then headed out to the city to meet up (finally!) with mike p. who of course is my co-host of the pmp podcast and writes the most excellent blog, blather and bosh. the meeting was a long time coming and he’s every bit as sweet and handsome as i expected.

we met up in chelsea and went to r.u.b. (righteous urban bbq) we had great grub, good company and awesome conversation. for desert we had fried oreos! they were delicious. after dinner we met up with steve and craig and went over to dick’s for bear night.

dicks was interesting. it was kinda dead and the porn being shown was kinda objectionable (barebacking…ewww!). we did have fun listening to the juke box and chatting it up. i also got to see mike’s tattoo. mmmmm makes me want one! after dick’s we headed over to another bar called phoenix. it was way more crowded. it was fun until the air conditioner started to leak on my head. then i was ready to go.

we headed over to dunkin donuts where steve and craig and mike p got some coffee, we grabbed a quick pic and then dropped mike off and headed back to steve’s were we promptly passed out tired and happy, dreaming our plans to see the color purple on sunday.

to be continued…
