Shelly's Birthday!


Saturday Night we went out for Shelly's 32nd birthday. We started off the night at On the Border, an American chain restaurant, where the waiting staff mispronounced a lot of poorly translated Mexican and served up salty (but sorely missed) food. Like any American joint, the portions were huge but I didn't hear one single complaint when it came to the extra large drinks. The highlight of the meal came when the waiting staff brought out the sombreros for us and and dove right into the franchises' Birthday song. I am especially proud of the finger Shelly gives me when the song comes to an end. That's how birthdays should be celebrated.



After dinner Shelly brought us to a bar that has gotten a lot of press lately. Oi, was opened by an artist who took over the whole third floor of a building and made it into an enormous white cave. You remove your shoes just outside the elevator and snake your way through a tiny entrance before the room opens up into various levels that ring a dance floor. There were assorted hats and masks laid out all round the bar that magically appeared at our table to make us all look ridiculous. It was a great time and I will definitely be back to the bar.
