All Better!

Ding dong, the stomach ache is dead! Maybe a little complaining was all I needed to do to get this bug out of my system. I was able to enjoy a nice dinner at Havana Alma De Cuba with Erin, her friend (and birthday girl!) Lina, Keren, and Mark. Afterwards, we took the newly-minted 21-year-old (Lina) to Absolute 4th for fun, fruity drinks, complete with sweedish fish. Then I got the bright idea to move onto Lips. Yep, the Drag Queen place. We stayed just long enough to watch the "Dirty Show" and afterwards felt like we had to wash our ears out with heavy-duty soap--it was dirty, all right. And we even dragged Mark in their for one drink; better than him loitering on the sidewalk until we were done! He was completely outnumbered by drunken bachelorettes and birthday girls (ourselves not included), but thankfully didn't receive any "special" attention from the "ladies" there.
