Last Friday (May 8th) was Pie's birthday. She turned 25. I'd spent the last couple of weeks planning a little surprise get-together at Good Life (carribbean restaurant/bar on Milwaukee's east side) with close friends after work that day.
While I won't get into great detail, I can honestly say that the elements were so determined to make this day a complete disaster, before it was gonna let me reap the benefits of the planning. Everything that could have gone wrong, did. But seeing her little face light up when she walked in and saw everyone sitting there - made the day's nuisances completely worthwhile. Attendees: Bob, Sue, Tanya, Angela, Kristal, Linda, Grace, Caleb, Tristana, Tray, and KT - who rode with us as a decoy.
She received wonderful gifts, very personal and thoughtful - some even handmade. She's very loved. After a few rounds of drinks and appetizers, we left Good Life and went back to our place for a chill with a few folks from Good Life before our next stop. Within an hour, we all left to go see KatieBeth's show at JRiley's in Menomonee Falls. I had a great time, that girl embodies the definition of a performer.
Our next stop was Silk Exotic. This was my first trip to a 'gentlemen's club'... and based on my time spent there, I'm determined to make sure that it's not my last! I had an insanely good time, and that's really all... I'll say, lol.
Happy birthday, Pie!
