What an awesome Saturday night out. It started off with Pete, Channy, Flor, Kris, and Meimei. I went out to celebrate Flor’s birthday along with my brother and his girlfriend. A couple other friends of Flor came as well. Apparently, we were about 1.5 hours early. Which was fine because we got to stash the cake that we purchased at Konditormeister. We were at the Cantina La Mexicana located in Somerville. They sat us and served us with unlimited nachos and salsa (both homemade) – It was possibly one of the best salsas that I’ve ever had. We ordered a couple of appetizers to start off; nachos and ceviche. I loved the place. The service was stellar. The free chips and salsa were f*cking awesome. I repeat the chips and salsa were f*cking awesome. The waiter even brought over a huge basket of chips after we devoured about 4 small baskets (haha). Did I forget to mention that he brought over a super sized amount of salsa because I kept on raving about it? Well, he did.
So as time started to pass, I go to wander around the restaurant because I was in need of some nicotine. I noticed that this place has tons of plaques and awards. One that got me excited was a Yelp award which was AWESOME. And how can I forget to mention that there was even an acoustic band. These two guys made it an awesome night. Pretty funny guys. First to show up was Kris, she almost didn’t recognize me so I had to mess with her. Then Meimei and Flor finally shows up and we wanted to move tables. This was the 3rd time we moved tables. LOL. We wanted to be by the band. So we ordered some food and some drinks and had an awesome time. We goofed around with the band guys because they pulled Channy up to sing her requested song; I’m yours by Jason Mraz. She sang along… off her blackberry. Haha!
Eventually the cake came out. It was a massive size of a cake. It was a raspberry mousse chocolate cake. We enjoyed the acoustic guitar show for another 45 minutes and then we left. Wished Flor a happy birthday and headed off to Leon’s birthday party. By the time we left the restaurant, there was enough snow on my car where I had to scrape it off. But these new car tires of mine are amazing on the snow. Super duper control on wet conditions. To Allston Mass, we go.
Leon’s place… oh man. There were a lot of people there. Mainly in the kitchen. Eventually the party ended up in the living room where I was hanging out. A large group of people were setting up a drinking game called “Asshole” and they eventually pulled me in and taught me the game. Apparently, if you win the game, you get labeled as “The President.” Well, I played 3 games and was president all 3 times. I guess I’m a natural at drinking games. Haha. Not. I ended up giving my presidency to Leon because I just didn’t want to continue drinking beer with a full stomach. Not a good mix. The game eventually came to a hault because some of Leon’s best buddies prepared a ROAST (yes, like the one on comedy central) for him. It was a very educational Leon moment. They bashed him with embarrassing moments after next. It was hysterically funny, I laughed my ass off to know Leon did some of the things he did. For a Jewish kid, Leon’s closest friends are black and they roasted the f*ck out of him. One of my favorite jokes was when Leon got his Master’s degree and had his friend to call him Master. LMAO… so… wrong. Then they made Leon come out with a “I Love Black People” T-Shirt which made it even more hysterical. We eventually left after the roast but man… WHAT A FUN NIGHT.
I’m glad I went out. The last few days were pretty frigging crappy but we all need to find some kind of balance in life.
Sorry, I don’t have pictures at Leon’s place because I left my camera in my car… I had to park very far and didn’t want to get it wet on the walk back to his place.
Just a side note: I out ate a pregnant woman. Channy you disappoint me! And looking back, this is the 2nd time for me to celebrate Flor’s birthday. She sure turns 21 an awful lot. LOL.
