.:.the Weekend.:.

Had two drunken nites this weekend and I am glad today is MLK Jr's day. I am taking this day off to recover.

Friday nite - Took the train to Burlingame Ave. to Sephora. Got a nasty ass make-over! The make-up artist put so much make-up on me and extended my eyebrows so I looked like those people who shave theirs off and redraw them carelessly. I then, quickly ran to get some make-up remover. Ate at Isobune again.

Picked up JonF and JenP at HillsB then off to Union Square. Sipped some hot cocoa while they grubbed at Espresso Cafe. Stumbled in to Lefty O'Douls to grab a brewski, for me a shot of vodka instead. They had a horrible piano man, but it was refreshing to hear nonetheless.

Went to listen to Frenchy Le Freak at Ruby Skye. I think it's suppose to be reminiscent of Moulin Rouge in there. But whatever, it was pretty cool inside. The go-go dancers were awesome and actual knew how to dance. They had one of the best costumes on as well. They looked great. The music was also better towards the end of the night...house, house baby! Gonna go back for the Red Party and/or Mardi Gras! My only gripe - small drinks and the bartenders were....hrmmm, just okay.

Ate at Lori's Diner afterwards. Hell, we grubbed! Nothing says you're so drunk (or stoned) but good diner food. My weakness (that nite) - grilled hot dog and garlic fries =)

Saturday nite - Went to a few places: walked around Union Square and grubbed at Lefty's - this time for their Hofbrau. All I have to say is - you better grab some of their delish mac & cheese and mashed potatoes or your bf will get antzy when you steal his grub.

Waltzed into the XYZ bar at the W hotel to grab some drinks. All I got to say is the Raspberry Truffle concoction is mos def worth the $11.00 My martini glass was rimmed in cocoa powder, how good does that sound. Too bad it was old peeps and Asian tourists nite. Will try it out another nite.
Tried it out at 111 Minna but it was a Tsunami Fund Shindig. Also tried to get into Vino Venue but it was closed for a private party. Boo =(

We were about to head out to the car when we got friendly with a doorman and led us to the Clift Hotel's The Redwood Room (pictured, top left). It was ultra hip were the beautiful and the rich get to chill. We were the youngest there, but everyone was so friendly and chatty, even in the bathroom. The decor was sick, esp. the live photos on the wall. Jen and I freaked out each time it blinked or moved. Even saw some local celebs, Adonal Foyle, I guess he plays for the Warriors and he could have sat with us, but I was supposedly hogging th couch.

I got to say that they had one of the best bars I have been to. Comparable to Top of the Mark and a bit better than XYZ Bar. Also got my first taste of Glenlivet in a man's drink - scotch and water. It was actual tasty, I dunno why I liked it since I don't even like beer. I was uttterly smashed that night and never even realized it until I tried to walk, now that was some good alcohol ;-)

(And next time I will be bringing my digicam, I can't believe I forgot it again.)
