15 friends, 30 years, 40 degrees
I'm pretty pissed at Mother Nature right now.
This is our third day in a row of amazing weather in NYC -- the first real taste of spring since I moved here. It's cloudy but a nice 74; yesterday was sunny and 70.
Why does this suck? Because this weekend, when I had a surprise visit from 15 of my closest friends, we got hit by driving rain and temps in the 40s. Just gross, and I'm betting most of those guys went home wondering why in the holy hell the BF and I would move to such a dreary place.
Despite the pissy precipitation, I still managed to have an amazing weekend. The BF had teamed up with Taures to plot my 30th birthday party, and I'll have to say they did a great job keeping the plans secret. OK, yes, I did know that some folks were coming to town, and I did do some prying beforehand to try and figure out who. (I'm a journalist -- prying is my job!)
What I did not expect was to walk into a bar on Friday night and have everyone gathered there already. They were hidden in a curtained off corner of the bar, and yelled "surprise" when the curtain was pulled back. The BF claims that I didn't look surprised, but that's simply not true. I was mainly trying to figure out how he got to the bar before I did.
Anyway, the weekend turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Well, from what I remember of it. Truth is I started drinking Friday afternoon when Taures got here and pretty much partied on through until Monday morning. Crazy.
The weather didn't stop us from bar-hopping, but I'll have to say some of the most fun times of the weekend were spent either here in my apartment (where we repeatedly watched excerpts from "The Wiz" -- yay) or in Bryan's hotel room, where folks gathered after our Saturday night adventures. I guess I'm getting old, because I get pretty bored in bars and clubs these days; I tend to have more fun with smaller groups in quieter settings. Next stop: The nursing home.
I also did not expect the gift the BF presented at dinner. Seems he's also been plotting with JP, and has booked a trip for us to spend a week in Spain in May.
God, I hope it's sunny there.

I loved seeing you Trayla.
luckily it's been a bit cold and rainy here as well. So by the time you get here we're all due lots of sun and fun at the nude beaches!
