it all started with a bottle of wine

So, you say that it's monday and that you aren't going out, but that's before you drink 2 bottles of wine and eat some delishy couscous with sarah and liz ruby. Before you know it you are doing the dishes and fantasicking the countertops and then brushing your teeth and putting on a black sweater.

We thought we could be homebodies for one nite, but the urge to hit the town was in us. - on a monday. Maybe this had something to do with the fact that we had spent the past 2 hours talking about our crushes and boys in general.

Our first stop was the Black Cat - the Red Room was empty, possibly due to the fact that there was British Sea Power show on the mainstage. I saw BSP last August when they opened for The Libertines. That was one of the best shows that I have ever seen up there with the Strokes in Asbury Park and The Stills/ Unicorns at Fletchers. At the time of this show, Pete Doherty was in jail and not touring with the band. Why bye Pete? BSP took forever to set up because they had to display all of these tree branches. it was like being in the forest with a cute little band. -since then I have seen too many horror films set in the woods and I am not ready to go back. so we had a drink at the bar and played some Lord of the Rings pinball - and Liz Ruby kicked ass. Ran into Ian who cuts hair with AC and who LR does not like running into so we left and walked down to St Ex for trivia.

They do not have trivia at St Ex on monday nites anymore. Why bye trivia? but now they have Kyle, Rishi, Coop and Paul sitting at a table playing crossword and drinking gin and tonics. Somehow when I walked up to the bar there was some sort of talk of DB being out and about. I don't really like that Coop knows about this now - I mean this guy's seen and heard all over DC - I mean he was mentioned in the city paper this week as being the "guy in the letterman's jacket" at the Walkmen show. After a few drinks - and Paul giving us shots of SoCo and Lime - we decided it was time to move on to DC9 - which was really fun when I went there with Liz on Saturday nite.

DC9 was empty - we did one lap of the whole bar to check out the scene and the rooms - which are all different and fun. Liz Crow and I decided that DC9 is a fancy velvet - Liz was going to post about this - so maybe when she's back from Iowa she will blog again. We were bored of this place and since we didn't run into anyone we left and walked around the corner to Velvet.

to be continued tomorrow. . .
