Friday night was our big group dinner at L'Entrepont. Chuck has been talking up the restaurant the whole trip, saying it was sure to be our favorite. I was feeling risky, and therefore opted to have escargot as my appetizer, and then there was the main course - kangaroo. Yes, as in those adorable animals from Down Under. I saw it on the menu and laughed, but then the waiter recommended it and I'm all about the recommendations, so naturally I went for it. It was strangely delicious but creepy at the same time. Our group took up about half of the restaurant.
After dinner, Melissa and I caught a cab to go to Hurley's to hear Solstice, but when we got there we didn't recognize anyone and there were no seats, so we left.
Saturday, I slept until after noon and then wandered the city. I stopped at Starbucks and did some reading and song-writing. The entire time, some random guy was watching me and writing. Sheridin and I think he was making up a story about my life. Regardless, I was creeped out and so I went to the bathroom and pretended to leave. Luckily he left, so I stayed a bit longer.
Once hunger pangs set in, I hit up Reuben's for a chicken sandwich. The hostess asked me if my boyfriend would be meeting me and I laughed in her face. Then the waitress asked the same thing, and when I replied that I was alone she asked if I wanted a drink. Apparently, going to a restaurant alone when you're female means you've been dumped and/or you're an alcoholic. Oh wait, I forgot to mention that while I was in the restaurant it flooded. Perfect.
After dinner, I went back to the dorm and changed into pajamas preparing to stay in and watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I was a little over half-way through when Simon came in and insisted that I join him and the other guys to go bar-hopping. It was 2:30AM, and last call has typically been around 3, so naturally I decided to go. Because I'm apparently not a girl, I was given 5 minutes to get decent and then headed out. I was unaware that I was going to be the designated walker of the group, as the rest of them were a bit intoxicated, so I practically carried Simon out. The rest of them coped in their own ways. As expected, every bar we went to was closed, or wouldn't let anyone else in, so we wandered the city for a bit and then headed back. Evan, Sheridin, Simon and I watched FSM the whole way through (starting it at around 3:30... we have good ideas) and then Sheridin and I spent an hour talking, so we went to bed around 6:30. Oops...
