Did Someone Say “Free Drinking”?!?


Brett requested that my name be put on the calendar to drink free at Antarctica, so they put it on. I was the only one there drinking for free, of course, because nobody has the same name as me.


Brett, Rachelle, Tim.


Jessica somehow managed to finish a couple of these pint-sized mixed drinks.


Dennis doesnt like to get his photo taken, but too bad.


Typical Jeannette photo!


Jessica & Rachelle.


Mmmm. Pretzels. I honestely didn’t even have that much to drink at Antarctica. People paying for drinks were drinking faster than me getting drinks for free. They definately made money off my free night. I brought about 10 paying friends in that night.


After we’d had enough of Antarctica (really, how long can you stay at the TMP dive bar?), we headed over to the East Village where Joel and Shaun met up with us at some salsa bar. Shortly afterwards we headed over to Lava Gina, or La Vagina if you’re talking to Eric.


Christine & Eric. I think I may finally have a competitor.

Last night was my night to drink free at Antarctica. Thanks to everyone who made it out.. I had a great time!

Friends Made My Birthday Happy


Flowers that my parents sent me for my birthday.


Eric & me.


Colin, the trend setter.


Back: Mark M., Eric, Jessica, Rachelle, Ted, Mark S., Wendy, Julie. Front: Colin, Dennis.


We always look so cute! Jessica, Julie, Rachelle.


Ted can die a happy man now. His big goal has been to be on my site.


Mark and Me.


The alcohol is kicking in. Me, Mark, Wendy.


Somebody (Ted) said there is a rule that you have to drink a shot of tequila for every ten years. That’s a double shot for me and a single for Colin (she was being a good sport and doing the shot with me). This is the countdown to consumption.


Quick, the lime!


We did it! We’re tough broads!


Adrian’s birthday was the same night we were celebrating mine.


Adrian and Scott are Federal Agents in town from Colorado to protect us on the 9/11 anniversary.


Adrian, Colin, Scott.


Eric is SHOCKING! Both of us are natives of Wisconsin so we sang On Wisconsin and our High School fight songs for the entire bar.


I think it’s obvious from this photo that I had a great time. Thanks to everyone who made my birthday weekend a blast!

Last Friday night we celebrated my birthday at Spring Lounge.

Chuck’s Going Away Happy Hour

Last night we gathered to bid Chuck farewell and good luck. This is his last week at work and he will be joining the USA Network on Tuesday. Chuck sits across the hall from me and I’ll truly miss our daily banter.

US Open
US Open, Arthur Ashe Stadium, Flushing, Queens

Then, last minute, I got tickets to go to the U.S. Open with Chuck and his wife Tiffany and one of Chuck’s friends. It was surreal. The stadium too bright and clean, the fans too polite, the announcer too English. Who would imagine taking an elevator in a stadium up to their seats? When the match was delayed because it started sprinkling, there was a team of men all dressed the same who came out with little white hand towels and blotted the court. Eventually, the game was called off because of the light mist/sprinkling that was occurring. Pansies.

Afterwards, we went to Jackson Heights, which should be called Little India, and ate some really gnarly Indian food.
