Went OUT AND ABOUT last night to San Jose Skate with my sister Abby and my friend Malvina. My favorite indie band was playing, and I couldn’t resist the urge to go out and see them. If you have a chance, check out Goodbye Elliott and be prepared to be entertained with awesome Hawaiian pop rock.
Anyhoo, we had fun. I took Bart in to Millbrae where Abby picked me up and we went to her apartment in Burlingame. Malvina works in South SF on Saturdays, so she met us over at Abby’s place, and then we went to dinner at Hola! Mexican Cantina (?) where I had a really great chicken quesadilla, and they had enchiladas and tamales. Malvina got a margarita as big as her head, and I got what I thought would be an innocuous Cabazan, but turned out to be the Most Potent Drink I Have Ever Imbibed. Turns out, the combo of tequila/vodka/peach schnapps is almost deadly! Haven’t been that buzzed since that one time at Chili’s… To be honest, I am still recovering from the dehydration.
So, we headed down to San Jose Skate, where I saw the boys play last year, and we had to wait a bit for them to play because there were other bands playing too. But it was worth the wait – they are great live and also cute.
It was a really fun night, though I couldn’t really skate much because of the alcohol thing (you’d think I couldn’t hold the ole liquor, but dudes, seriously, what was in that drink? I guess that adage not to mix your liquors is still true) but I was able to get some fun pictures of Abby and Malvina, and those are on Flickr in a set along with a couple pictures of the band and Bart signs, what.
Now, to let the Advil have an effect, hooray!
Aw, looks like you guys had a great time! I haven’t been skating in ages.
WHat a night! that looks like so much fun! i spent a majority of my childhood on skates, but haven’t done it in years 🙂
