34th surfday party

dammit.

i am actually writing this in retrospect a week after my birthday party actually happend. well. actually only ten days. butt still a bit late. umm... my birthday day itself was pretty fun. lots of phone calls and wishes, a nice ice cream sundae party at work. shoot. i shoulda writ this earlier because i actually can't really remember what happened. all i know is that i was freaking ballz that i would have to cancel the party because the weather was absolutely miserable the two days leading up to saturday (the day of the fiesta). jeez. i can't rememember what i did on my birthday night. oh yeah. the night before i saw porkchop, babs, ooo, and nancy and we went to speakeasy and saw esther, caty, flor, jonathan, etc...

the next morning i brunch with ooo and nancy and joy (que nostalgia!) at one of my favorite spots 9th street market. i met
them first at label where kristall was holding court. todd was gave me a little dessert and we wished each other happy bday, his is one week after mine. oh yeah. then i had to work and then i had rehearsal. i don't think i actually did anything on the night of my birthday except for rehearsal because i think that i was too scurred about the party and the horrendous weather that was dropping down in a deluge.

i checked all three weather sites before i slept. all were getting worse with chance of precipitation hovering around 60%. of course we could still surf in the rain, but it's not gunna be as fun of a party.

i went to bed praying. i woke up at 5 am to take a piss and actually heard thunder.

shit.

miraculously i woke up at 9:30 and the skies were wide open and there was sunshine. i couldn't believe it. i swear to god it was some sorta miracle... everyone came to mushroom park and the shit was pretty fun. nancy brought along dan and she did astoundingly well, elliot brought me out to the outside and helped me catch the best wave of my life, josh was doing well and roman and sandy debuted their new boards. nicki got hurt and trooped on, leilani made a superstar appearance, steph did great, babs rode to shore a couple times, jonathan doesn't like surfing, porkchop thought he didn't need lessons and tried catching waves himself the second time out and so he blamed the surf school when he couldn't get up, roy showed up with joao, kenji made an appearance to cheer on steph.... it was waay dope at what is now one of my favorite beaches in new york. pizza came and most people had to skeedaddle by like 5ish.

this was of course to make roman's surprise wine pairing party at the ICE. i raced home to change into my night attire for the party and stopped by esperanto and cafecito.. i then rushed over to ICE and came in late to the class adorned in body glitter, a cowboy hat, and an i heart fart t-shirt.

after the fabulous dinner of cioppino, gralic bisque, two types of gourmand pizza's, a horde of califonia cheeses and fruits, pork tenderloin, we meandered over to the water taxi beach where i met up with chris wild and dodai and jonathan again. here i ate some mooshies and proceeded to go on an adventure...

after things started getting difficult, i took the subway with roman and sandy and babuloids and then left them to go to bryant park. i had to pee soooo bad and tried to pee in bryant park. a cop stopped me while i had glitter on, a cowboy hat, and an i heart to fart t-shirt and told me that 42nd street is not a bathroom. -er thanks!

after that, we went to some weird party and then capped off the night going karaoking.

then i fell asleep to the voices in my head.

thanks everybody!
