friday was my RA's 21st party. she had a private room upstairs at nikki beach in hell's kitchen. the music sucked but i had a really good time. i spent most of the time talking to the bartender though, and one of the only white dudes that turned out to be the manager. ok so there was this french dude that looked like alex from franz who was really insistent on taking raven downstairs for a drink. so she got me to go too. and downstairs was much more fun. there was this runway in the middle of the room that served as the dancefloor.
anyways i was wary of this alex dude from the start so i asked him if he was a promoter. and he was. and he took raven and i to this table of guys. one of the dudes ordered a drink for me and i swear it was a tall glass of straight vodka. i take it upstairs after i've like sipped half of it and asked the manager if it was ethical for the bar to be serving tall glasses of straight vodka. and he's like probably not and mixes in some cranberry juice. which probably made it more drinkable but by that point i couldn't tell the difference.
there was a red carpet and an announcement when vicky was arriving. so we all lined the door and cheered when she came it. so my super sweet 16:
the birthday girl in a dress by life with bird. she was so excited that the designer was australian:
when we got back to lower manhattan. a whole bunch of us met up at gold st diner. which is my favorite diner cause they play indie music. and they don't care that i order thing that are not on the menu. anyways it was around 4.30 and the lights were off, only blue neons and there was a women at the next table by herself with a laptop, just working like it could have been any other time of the day.
saturday was vicky's actual birthday. we went out for dinner. she had a table booked at earth nyc for 10pm. but the day before it took everyone over 5 hours to get ready. and that night was no different. i think we may have gotten there just after 11. and by then the kitchen was closed. no one knew what was going on. ended up going to the place next door: the park. which was massive and really pretty with great food and a nightclub upstairs that was packed. but we didn't finish dinner till 3.30, really 4.30 cause it was daylight saving that night. i want to go back there because the place is lovely but it was annoying being there with 12 other girls and splitting the bill took a lifetime.
