WHERE'S MEL?!?!?! I THINK SHE'S UNDER THE TABLE......

GOOD GOD "32" TRAVBUDDIES....10 GUYS AND 21 GIRLS.....2 GIRLS PER EACH GUY.....HAHAHAHA :P :P :P

GOOD GOD!!!!! I can feel that there is going to be drama. We were all waiting outside for at least 8 to come to be seated. Joy, Tracy, Sybil, and Jenn each had to reserve a party of 6-8. Unfortunately, one table was going to be outside and the other 2 tables are inside. Jillian, Joy, and Jenn and I were not hungry. We are just seat fillers until others come.

Little by little TBs are arriving. Joy, Jillian, Wendy, Julz, Erin and I were there. Then, Mark (travelman727) arrived. Then new TBs arrived, Stephen (steveddr), Jenn (jenaarmstrong), Belinda (belinda2000) and her friend, Reese, a future TB no more: reese30

Then OMG!!!! Eric, the CO-FOUNDER and Lisa, his girlfriend arrived. I have not seen both of them since the LA MEETUP in December 2007.

They also brought Ryan (foolz0r) I feel it not complete without them in a meetup. :D :D :D

Oscar, Angel, Tracy, Lynette and Sybil showed up. Joy had a 6pm reservation. There were already 14 people. We sat Eric, Lisa, Mark, Stephen, Jen, Belinda, Reese, and Ryan for the outside table. The rest of us just waited some more for other’s to show. We took more photos of course. I get a txt that Will that he and Jenn are on the way.

We had enough to seat another 8. Jillian and I were bitter. We did not want dinner. We want to eat coldstone. Whatever, we are seat fillers until others show up. We got more bitter when it is a $10min per person to order food. FUCK!!!! We just doodled, took pics of our doodles. . I just took photos of us and walked to the other table where Eric and Lisa are.

We ended up ordering cheap appetizers.  Then damn it, we ordered to soon. I turned around, Giovanni, Sheila, Nhi, and her BFF. They would have taking our seats. Joy and Jenn did not eat either. We were waiting on Sal as well.  

OMG we watched our appetizers get served and we did not freaking eat it!!!!! *SIGH*

We all went outside.

Joy, Jillian, Jenn (THE NEW 3JXPRESS) HAHAHAHA and I were discussing about the baja cantina. Since the first table with Eric and Lisa is almost done. Joy wanted Jillian and I to walk over to baja cantina to reserve enough for 30. We gave Jenn $20 to cover our share. 

GOOD GOD!!!! Jillian and I were walked over to the baja canitina. We were bitter we could not have our ice cream. It was a 2 block walk. When we go there, GOOD GOD it was so packed that we when inside and looked around. GOOD GOD there was no way we can fit 30 people. Jillian called Joy, we ended up walking back to C&O. On the way, Jillian and I went to Venice canals to take photos. We pretty much lost interest in looking for a new place.  We took the long way back to C&O.  jillian and I walked so much that we now feel hungry and we can’t eat coldstone cuz we are planning to do shots and you can’t mix grey goose and patron together. UUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

WE ARE OFFICIALLY “THE BITTER BIACHES” HAHAHAHAHA :P :P :P

We all decided to find another place….

.FAST!!!!! We took the first table across the street called the cabo cantina. That was full of frats and loud music. I went outside to tell joy that this place is not going to work. I was calling to Jenn to tell her we are thinking of PLAN B. which we don’t have HAHAHAHAHA.

Then Joy asked us where the Marriot is. I told her it was down Washington blvd.  3 blocks from where we are at, we can walk that. I am so glad I am wearing my flip flops. Joy said we can just hang out at the lobby where there is a bar and a club.

Well, we have nothing to lose. We called Jenn and told them to walk to Marriott after they pay the bill. The rest of us 11 walked there.

Mark and I chatted for a bit while we walked. He is excited about KC meetup and Belize meetup. He is trying to recruit me. HAHAHA I wish I could go.

We walked in the Marriott, it was perfect size. The lobby had a bar and plenty of seats for all of us. The club glow is front of us.   Jillian, Joy and I beelined to the huge black table. We sat down with Stephan  and Jen.

Then Julz, Will, Erin, Giovanni, Angel, and Oscar joined us at the table.

I started to take more photos. Jillian and I were so bitter that we were anti social the first hour. YES WE REALLY WANTED OUR COLDSTONE….HAHAHAHAHA :P :P :P I did talk to some people.

MEL: IS IT BAD THAT I DON'T FEEL SOCIAL?

JILLIAN: NO I FEEL THE SAME WAY.

MEL: I AM NOT IN THE MOOD TO TALK.

A few people wanted to talk to me about my Galapagos blog. Eric and Lisa was one of them. Wendy was interested too.  Lynette and I talked briefly with at the “pre”. I am always in the mood to talk about my beloved Galapagos Islands :D DID I TELL YOU I LOVE THE GALAPAGOS?!?!!? :P :P :P Then after that, I sat near Jillian. I told her we should get a shot of grey goose. That would loosen us up. I wanted chilled this time.  

GOOD GOD!!!!! $25 for 2 shots with tip. I feel like am in VEGAS!!!! However, that felt good. I grabbed a bowl of salty snacks.  We sat back. After awhile we started to feel sociable.

Jillian started to talk to Julz who was sitting next to her HAHAHAHA.  I walked around to take photos.

There were more TBs showed up. Adrian (acowboy), Melissa (melissa919), Priscilla (PrissyT),  chereese (ressiemac), katheryn (katastrophe1592), Charles (chucklesb), and alice (alicegourmet) and her husband, victor (Synthetrix)

After "6 SHOTS OF GREY GOOSE" it was all a blur. All the remember was I was under the table looking for my purse. Going to “GLOW” to go clubbing, which is across the lobby. Yelling at people and dancing with a bunch of Russian jews from Chicago. Joy sitting on my lap, drinking watered down OJ, yelling “WHERE IS MY PURSE". Dmitri (dmitrius) drunk txts me at the tip of my drunkenness as Joy, Jillan, Julz, Erin,  Giovanni, and i went home to the TBHQ. GOOD GOD I STILL MANAGE TO WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING WITH NO HANGOVER!!!! YAY FOR ME!!!!!

I personally want to thank, JULZ, ERIN, TRACY, JOY and not to forget my hubbs, JILLIAN for taking care of me.

GOOD GOD i know you all have a handful or more stories about my DRUNKENESS. MELISSA, for taking care of my PURSE!!!! LOVE YOU GIRLS MUCHLY :D :D :D
